Captain America Blocked Screening at Mall of Asia

We arrived at Cinema 5 at around 6:30 p.m. as advised for the Captain America Blocked Screening sponsored by Captain America Philippines.  We claimed our FREE tickets which were free-seating but bloggers were allocated to seat only at the lower right side.

We decided to have dinner at Burger King before the movie starts.  It has been a long time since I had a Burger King Whopper.  I'm glad its still huge and tasty.

At around 7:40 p.m., we came back to cinema 5.  We noticed that other cinemas showing Captain America: The First Avenger all had long lines.    We were fortunate enough to win our way to the event which was FREE and hassle-free.

We got inside to find our seats just a few minutes before the show started.  It was only during the show did I realize that when you're seated below, no matter where you seat ,be it front or back, you'd still be looking up.=p   At exactly 8:00 p.m. "Captain America: The First Avengers" started.

After the movie, I noticed that there were many vacant seats in the lower areas.  While waiting for the post-credits, we went up to the VIP and cosplayers area to have some pictures with them. Check it out Marvel characters watching a movie together.  Ironic?=)

Overall, it was a fun night.  The event was well-organized.  It was a brilliant idea for Captain America Philippines to treat Captain America fans out for a movie they'll always remember.  Check out my review of Captain America: The First Avenger (see separate entry)

Movie Review: Captain America: The First Avenger

When we were little, we used to watch Captain America in cartoons.  As I grew older, Captain America became less appealing to me as more interesting cartoon superheroes were being promoted.  

Until this movie, I've never heard of Captain America for a long time so I was really curious how this movie   "Captain America: The First Avenger" would turn out. 

It turned out that there is a deeper story to Captain America than I remembered.  Through this movie, I was able to appreciate his characteristics.  I loved how it was presented in the movie.  The pacing and development was perfect.  The effects were pretty good.  The film had a good share of action.  It also had some humor mixed it.  

Chris Evans looked really cool and charismatic in the movie.  He was a perfect portrayal of Captain America.  He looked really well in the Captain America costume.  I originally though it would be the plain and boring but it was presented in the movie as a cool upgrade from the classic form.  

As expected from a Marvel Movie, Stan Lee once again playing a cameo role and a post-credit scene.  This time Stan Lee has a one-liner dialogue.  Did you notice him at the scene?  The post-credit teaser was amazing!  I can't wait for the next marvel film!  How about you?
