JediAthos Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Seen during the Super Bowl tonight was the trailer for the new Captain America movie. I will admit to not being a comic book fan, but the trailer for the movie looks like it might have some promise to be half way decent. Thoughts? (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)
adamqd Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Most people are more worried that Chris Evans has played two characters in the same franchise, than if the film will be any good lol, I think it looks promising
JediAthos Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 I haven't been to the movies in awhile...who else did he play?
adamqd Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 He played The Human Torch in Fantastic Four, its the same with Ryan Reynolds too, He Played Hannibal King (Nightstalkers) in Blade Trinity, then Deadpool in Wolverine... He's also playing the Green Lantern but thats DC comics, not Marvel lol
JediAthos Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 Ahh okay...I saw the Fantastic Four movies, I didn't realize it was the same actor.
Darth Avlectus Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Ah the Cap. I wonder why nobody has gone to my Thor thread yet--I realize Natalie Portman wasn't the greatest actress but I would have thought that would be enough to get SW fans interested. lol However I'm glad in some ways to see Chris Evans again. An avengers movie is sometime down the road I think.
JediAthos Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 I think I also saw somewhere that there was an avengers movie planned...don't remember where though. It would be nice to see..provided it doesn't end up like the X-Men movies did.
Adavardes Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I'm getting a little tired of the Marvel movies. There are only so many super hero adaptations that I can take in the span of five years. Honestly.
JediAthos Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 There have been a lot of them haven't there? but then Hollywood seems to not be capable of coming up with original ideas anymore given all the remakes that have come out in the last few years.
Darth Avlectus Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Iron man was really good, have yet to see #2. Hulk 1 was marginal at best, incredible hulk was better. Wolverine...good if you have not read the comics. X-men...they were okay I guess. Just not as interested now as I was a li'l tyke. Daredevil I can't complain too much about. Could have been better. Never saw Electra though.
Kuuki Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 ****ING JOY. that means that there is a 'The Avengers' movie thats GOING to happen XD we have now all FOUR of them, 100% expect Sam L Jackson appearing in both Capt America and Thor. [edit] maybe 85%, depending on the countinuty w/ Iron Man 2, Stark might 'give back' that certain something (dont want to 100% spoiler something
Negative Sun Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Thor looks pwnage, so does this one, Iron Man was awesome, even the second one was quite good, the Ed Norton Hulk was OK, better than Ang Lee's piece of garbage anyways...Can't wait for the Avengers movie!
Liverandbacon Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Time for some thread necromancy. I saw this movie a day or two ago. When I first heard about the film, I was worried about having Chris Evans as the Cap. I knew from "Sunshine" that he's capable of acting (I'll blame F4 on the script). However, I was worried he wouldn't be able to pull off the square-jawed American hero look. I was happily wrong. I loved this movie. Sure, it was sometimes cheesy, but you got the sense that it was consciously so. It was a movie without any pretensions of being something it wasn't meant to be. Given that it had the same director, it's not surprising that it felt similar in spirit to "The Rocketeer", which I loved, despite its flaws. Having a nice, old-fashioned, wholesome, and patriotic hero is a refreshing change from the brooding and angstiness that's been annoyingly omnipresent in the genre recently. And this is coming from a guy whose favorite comics include Garth Ennis' run on Punisher MAX, which is quite possibly one of the most dark and brooding (but not remotely angsty, thank god) comics out there (I can't resist bringing up that series. Everyone should read Vol. 5: The Slavers. Everyone). Tommy Lee Jones' character had some hilarious lines. Also, I want some super-soldier serum. Hell, I'd even take the experimental type that makes you have a red skull face, if there wasn't any of the finished stuff, and I could get a convincing mask like Hugo Weaving did. It'd save money on Halloween, at the very least.
JediAthos Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 Yay for thread necromancy! I still haven't seen this movie even though I started this thread I want to see it and I'm glad that it seems to have lived up to my original supposition that it looked like it had the potential to be a good movie.
Mav Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I thought it was rather good as well, like the Ironman movie it took a while to get going, but once it did it was thoroughly enjoyable.
