CAPTAIN AMERICA GOES UP AGAINST THE SCARAB. UNLIKE THE CAPTAIN AMERICA OF THE COMICS, CAP ACTUALLY TOTES A GUN AND HIS IDENTITY IS NOT STEVE ROGERS. AND HE'S NOT A SOLDIER. HE'S A DISTRICT ATTORNEY. DESPITE THOSE MAJOR CHANGES, THIS 15-CHAPTER SERIAL IS STILL ENTERTAINING AND SUSPENSEFUL. I REALLY WISH I STILL HAD THIS CLASSIC MOVIE. IF YOU HAVE 3 HOURS TO SPARE, WATCH THIS MOVIE FROM BEGINNNG TO END. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Because of some legal snafu at the time this was made, certain things about the good captain have been changed: he's not called Steve Rogers, he doesn't carry a shield, he doesn't have wings on his head, he's not a soldier but a lawyer. the good stuff is that the video transfer looks good and it has LOTS of action. Cap is quite the brawler in this serial. One other thing: one of the episode title cards comes up as "Return of Captain America". I assume it's because they couldn't find a good quality copy of that specific episode and settled for a reissue version of it instead. Quality declines for that one episode otherwise, it's a fun three hours!!

This film is a rather exciting,suspencful flick. The only problem is that it really isn't cap. He isn't Steve Rogers, Military man But he is Grant Gardner, District Attorney Had it been any other costumed hero, It could've got a higher rating. But due to its vivid storytelling and great action scenes. I give it a passing grade

Clang!The Red Skull flies back as Cap`s shield smashes his arm. The Skull lies sprawled on the floor then Cap walks up to him and solemnly says"Where is Bucky?" That is how I always envisioned a WWII Captain America movie. But that is not close to this version. District Attorney Grant Gardner ,who is secretly Captain America, and his secretary Gail Richards track down the identity of The Scarab,a master criminal. Cap somehow manages to escape bombs,exploding planes,several bullets and a whole bunch of other things before he realizes the Scarab`s identity. The only connection to the comic is his costume and name,otherwise it is unrecognizeable. For die hard Cap fans,it`s fun stuff,but if you want a serial about a WWII masked avenger,check out Spy Smasher.

Being a serial lover, I love the action in this serial. The plot itself is completely Saturday Matinee. The villian, The Scarab, may be a no-namer, but weren't all the superhero villians in these serials no-namers? There are lots of shoot-outs and interesting cliff-hangers. It sorta keeps you guessing how it Cap will get out of them. However, being a Cap fan, I am disappointed by the complete changing of the character. First, Cap's a LAWYER! Worst of all, Cap DOESN'T have his shield!!! Cap uses a GUN instead!!! Cap critically wounds people! Is this the Cap we know and love? The un-"Capness" of Cap brings down the serial. However, when viewed just as a serial, it is pretty entertaining.
