'Captain America' Trailer: Shot-By-Shot


The new Captain America: The First Avenger trailer was released last week and I continue to grow more eager to see this film. The filmmakers to a big chance with presenting a CGI Steve Rogers—it could have been an enormous and expensive mistake, but I’ve found the effect of turning a pre-Super Soldiered Rogers into a 90-pound weakling to be pretty flawless.

Captain America looks like it is going to be a big, fast, fun summer movie.

Let’s breakdown the trailer shall we?
 
This opening shot makes me extremely happy. The art deco design and palette reminds me of the old Fleischer Superman cartoons.

Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) about to be denied entry into the military.

Colonel Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones) gives an impassioned speech to the troops.

Rogers (Evans) was born to carry a shield.

The film appears to have some serious heart to it—here Evans longs to serve his country.

Professor Erksine (Stanley Tucci) signs Rogers up for the Super Soldier program.

Say goodbye to single Steve Rogers (Evans).

Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) makes an appearance.

The Super Soldier serum seems to have done its thing.

In true Captain America fashion, Steve Rogers (Evans) doesn’t need a car.

Cap (Evans) and the Howling Commandos.

Steve Rogers (Evans) doesn’t need a boat.

Heinz Kruger (Richard Armitage) didn’t stand a chance of escaping Cap.

Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) can clearly hold her own.

Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) makes his first appearance.

The Hydra soldiers may have the power of the Cosmic Cube on their side.

Arnim Zola (Toby Jones) stands next to Schmidt (Weaving)—who is ready to reveal his true self.

The Red Skull!

The best scene in the trailer! Cap (Evans) and the Howling Commandos in action.

Flamethrowers!

Flamethrowers from above!

Cap (Evans’ stunt double) is hot on the trail of Hydra soldiers.

Peggy (Atwell) gives Cap (Evans) something to fight for.

Blammo!

Second best scene in the trailer! Cap (Evans) catches his iconic shield.

Steve (Evans) takes a few shots from Peggy.
