And Cap in the comics has generally not been a nationalistic dick.Togs said:

The World Does Not Hate Captain America

I agree with that greatly. I think that he'll probably shine in the Deadpool movie. And to a lesser extent, I think that I count Robert Pattinson in that "In a lot of bad movies but not a bad actor". I really thought he was quite good in Harry Potter but he's been in some terrible films afterwards. Twilight (Twishite, Sparkles the Vampire) is awfully directed and scripted. Give the best actor in the world the worst movie to work with, he might polish the turd but it's still a turd. Try as he might, I don't think that he'd be able to give a decent performance with half of those lines and then being asked to look deadpan whilst doing it.Snowalker said:
I know a lot of people hate him but I wouldn't like to see an actor's career fail because their agent is bad a choosing films or somebody can't script.
I'm not sure Cap is supposed to be 100% good in this movie. I'm pretty sure he hasn't been presented as such.Abandon4093 said:
Can't help you with unhinged, though. Maybe in Captain America 3, the Super Soldier serum can cause him to comb his hair forward in an emo fringe and tango.

I don't know, I don't have enough knowledge of comics, to discuss his deadpool performance, but I just can't see him in any semi-serious role.... I like him as an actor, but my impression is, that he reached his peak with party animals.Zing said:
The thing is, with the additional 3-D fee, the studio is able to make more money out of the movie. The movie may not be more popular trough 3-D, but the studios gain more trough it, if the sales reach a certain number. There is a reason why there are so many movies this year that reach the one billion mark (beside the inflation).
I need to wait another week, till I can see it, the only thing I can talk about, is the trailer... and it looks decent enough to watch it (at least as non-3-d version)
As mentioned before, that what counts are the box-office results.
I have yet to see First Class but I can say this. Put me down as saying that Captain America is my favourite film of this year. No, I don't read the comics except from the odd story I'm told is a good read. No, I don't like just any superhero film. If a film sucks, just because the main character is wearing spandex and punching up a purse thief doesn't mean that I'll like it anymore. Captain America: The First Avenger is just a damn good film, not only for the superhero genre but also for action and war. Chris Evans plays the character so well and the ballsy ending was a great way to leave me looking forward to The Avengers.Abandon4093 said:
And I'm honestly surprised. Iron Man was a great film and the sequel was fairly good too which I wasn't expecting really because I wasn't really a fan of the Iron Man Animated Series. Thor was unexpectedly excellent because... WOW! They made a film about the space Viking really engaging (I don't care that people said it was a kids film, I'd be surprised if you tried pitching that idea as a serious film for adults). And now Captain America which I could also easily say I was not expecting to be good until I saw that first trailer OwO
I've always thought of the mentality behind Captain America to be more of an icon for Americans to aspire to be more like. Captain America ACTUALLY stands for truth, justice, and the American way, and will call out people who don't. Superman, however, can do whatever the hell he wants... he's kind of an entitled prick that way...Sixcess said:
Also, Captain America started out as a basically average guy, who only had his virtues to go on. Superman is (one of the) last survivor(s) of a dead, godlike race, and has very little standing against him other than random green rocks and a retrospectively incompetent bald guy..
there were fuck yeahs in my theater.Togs said:
also, about ruining ryan rynold's career, i blame the director. well, he still might make it up in the DEADPOOL adaption if the director remembers how bat shit insane it should be.
Ryan Reynolds had a career? When did that happen?
It's surprising to see people responding well to Captain America. No matter how hard you try he's always going to be a bit jingoistic and that puts some people off.

Trust me. Forget your preconceived notions and watch Buried. He is unrecognisable from his Van Wilder/Blade/Two Guys era.deckai said:
Counts toward what?
I pretty much knew that First Class would not do as well as the other super hero movies this year, the reason for this is that some uninformed people just saw it as another xmen movie, and after the trash last one, likely skipped it. In reality it's the best x-men so far.
I'm from the UK and very pro-British and i like like joke about yanks, but i've seen Captain America twice because it is a great film. It's not like other american WW2 based films which omit other allied nations or are super gung ho 'U-S-A'. It's there to entertain and it does.
