'Captain America' keeps full name in most of world (AP)Source: AP Wed Jul 06, 2011, 5:50 am EDT

LOS ANGELES - Captain America will keep its patriotic full title in most of the world when the superhero adventure hits the big-screen.

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios gave distributors around the world the option of shortening the title of "Captain America: The First Avenger" to simply "The First Avenger," out of concern about anti-American sentiment.

But the only countries that took them up on it were Russia, Ukraine and South Korea.

In other territories, the movie will go out with the full title, a sign that the brand value of the Marvel Comics hero trumps any potential anti-U.S. feelings in some parts of the world.

Movie titles often are changed in foreign countries for cultural reasons or because the original names don't translate well. In French-speaking countries, "The Hangover" and its sequel were titled "Very Bad Trip."

Starring Chris Evans as the patriotic super-soldier, "Captain America" opens in U.S. theaters July 22. http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies....pphu-post-form

It sickens me to think that the South Koreans are so Anti-American, considering that we've fought and have died for their freedom. Four tours on the ROK, and yeah, I'm kinda pissed......
