I'll be honest, I got chills down my spine when they said "Now mr.Stark"
So many movies to see this summer.

I'm British, and I'm pretty anti-nationalist or even patriotic (Not just for this country, but in general), and I am bouncing off the walls waiting for this film.
Sorry, but it looks so damn good. Cap is a fantastic character. It's easy to sell him off as a patriotic figurehead, but he's so much more. The casting, the art direction, the storyline... it all just slots into place. It's gonna be awesome.
We have Thor out very soon, which, while it's first trailer lacked that certain something, managed to grab my attention with it's second one. And then Green Lantern, and it's going to be fascinating seeing DC try and push another of it's much misrepresented cast into the limelight. Is asking for a Flash or Martian Manhunter film too much to ask for? Wonder Woman is absolutely perfect film material, as is Green Arrow, but never gonna happen I think.
What Marvel studios have done with this Iron Man/Thor/Cap continuity is amazing. THESE are comic films. Everything that went before were just films about comic heroes.

*Reads title* Charging Star!
Sorry but after MvC3 I really love shouting the lines, mainly Cap's and Doom's. I also became more interested with them as well.
Back on topic the trailer overall was very good. I do think pre Cap Steve looks more sickly than puny. And as for Cap using a gun I actually approved. I mean he is a soldier at war, it seems only appropriate he carries a firearm.

I haven't been this psyched to see a superhero movie since Iron Man 2. If Thor, Iron Man 3, and the next Incredible Hulk can keep up the energy of the previous movies then the Avengers movie will probably be the biggest undertaking in film since...oh hell, it'll be the biggest undertaking in film period.
Well, they made 1940s Bucky closer to Cap's age in the Ultimate universe, because not everything the Ultimate universe did was bad (like Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury). And I've read some of the original 40s Captain America comics--the level of violence they let a 14-year-old boy involve himself in then wouldn't fly today.
Minor Pet Peeve: Were the Invaders solely an Anglo-American team? No other Allied nation members? Not one Canadian, Australian, Free French, Free Poles, nothing?

This one is by far the comic movie I'm the most excited for, and I'm a Green Lantern nut.
Um, it had Namor, who's Atlantean. Does that count?Falseprophet said:
I never really got into comics as a kid or even as I got older, but dayum if Bob isn't making me get excited for this movie, and for Thor and this whole Avengers thing. It looks like its gonna be awesome!
It's easy to make a patriotic action movie that takes place in World War II.MovieBob said:
For more modern-setting patriotic movies, I think Harrison Ford has it covered pretty well with "Clear and Present Danger", "Air Force One", and to a lesser extent "Patriot Games" as well.
"Independence Day" was everything that "Battle: LA" tried to be.
I thought it was looking pretty good.. and then I saw the shield throw and I starting planning when I'd get in line to buy tickets.
