Captain America, with shield and pistol in tow, bursts in on
a secret Nazi meeting. Catching those in
attendance completely off guard, he commences to make mincemeat out of everyone
in the room. Reinforcements arrive, but
to no avail. All who enter are shot,
sliced, or eviscerated. Even a helicopter
armed with a Gatling proves to be no match for America’s favorite super
soldier. At the end of it all, Cap emerges
triumphant.
The apocalypse is upon us.
Marvel Studios has been outdone by a bunch of guys with a camera and
some Legos. Lego Captain America is the Captain
America film that they would never have the guts to make. In fact, guts Is the opportune word. This thing is wall to wall with blood and
entrails. It owes as much to Dead Alive and Punisher: War Zone as it does to the title character. Sound like a weird combo? It most certainly is, but it makes for fun
viewing.
The short offers nothing in the way of context or story (or
character and dialogue for that matter).
Cap bursts into the room with guns blazing and things just get more
insane from there. Lego minifigures
don’t have many points of articulation, yet the guys at Forrestfire Films work
the Hell out of them. The stop motion
technique allows them to cut corners and hide the minifigures limited
movements. The viscera are provided by a
combination digital squibs and Claymation.
The guys at Forrestfire films are obviously connoisseurs of
pop culture. The clip is only two and a
half minutes long, yet contains plenty of references to other films. As a whole, it plays sort of like the opening
dining room slaughter in Punisher: War
Zone. One of the Nazi officers bears
a striking resemblance to the character Arnold Toht from Raiders of the Lost Ark. In
one hilarious moment, Cap even uses his shield as a flying guillotine. The grand finale is reminiscent of certain
scenes from the Morpheus rescue in The Matrix.
The musical accompaniment in Warner Brother’s old Looney Tunes shorts was used in a
relatively sophisticated manner. The orchestral
compositions aided in telling the story, often making the adventures of Bugs
Bunny and company play like silent films.
Lego Captain America does something
similar with Franz Liszt’s “Les Preludes.”
The piece underscores the over-the-top carnage on display, emphasizing the
visceral impact.
Lego Captain America
is insanely silly, yet undeniably thrilling.
I had a much better time with this than I had with Captain America: The First Avenger in its entirety. What inspired Forrestfire Films to make
something so off beat and entertaining? Was
this simply meant to be a goof? I could
on for days with such questions, but the intent behind this little gem is
ultimately of little consequence. It has
entertainment and replay value to spare, and that’s all that counts.
Agreed, The First Avenger has it's merits. But overall I found this gory madness more entertaining.
