Captain America / Captain America II: Death Too Soon ReviewThis is a review of the recently released Captain America/Captain America II: Death Too Soon DVD. The disc starred Reb Brown as Steve Rogers/Captain America and Len Birman as Dr. Simon Mills.
I grew up watching these films when they first aired on television in the late '70's. I had a great time watching them then and I had a great time watching them again this past week after I purchased this DVD.
Are the films perfect? No, not at all. But if you watch the films for what they're intended to be, notably a fun campy romp a la the 60's Batman series, I think you'll enjoy them more than if you watch them in a serious manner.
I was also pleased to see that the films are included in their entirety. They're not chopped up like they were when Syfy broadcast them last summer before Captain America: The First Avenger premiered in theaters.
On to the review of the disc itself. Equipment used to watch this DVD was a Sony HDTV, Sony 3D Blu-Ray Player and Sony 6.1 home theater surround sound.
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the presentation. The films looked pretty good for material that was shot for television over 30 years ago. I did find myself wishing that some extra work could have been done to make them even more colorful.
The sound left a lot to be desired in my opinion. I wish the audio on these two movies could have been released in better fidelity (5.1 sound, as they were broadcast on Syfy last summer). As it is, the films are presented in a 2.0 soundtrack which I think is ok but it's nothing special.
When you take into consideration the amount of dubbed in sounds such as Captain America's motorcycle, explosions & gunfire, etc. it would have enhanced the viewing experience significantly had more work been done for this DVD. It's too bad that Shout! didn't deem the extra effort as being necessary.
I am docking this release 1 star because this disc is just a bare-bones release. I feel that Shout! really dropped the ball with this by not including any interviews with Reb Brown or any other stars who were in these films. If they could include cast interviews for their Street Hawk release, they surely could have done so with this release too. As it is, all you get are the two films and that's it.
If you enjoyed seeing these films growing up in the '70's, then yes I would add this to your collection. It's not a perfect release by a long shot but it is a great way to relive some fond childhood memories.Captain America / Captain America II: Death Too Soon Overview
