It is a little bit of both actually. Put Ryan in a role that he can work with and study he's good to go. Rush him and create a role that is a mishmash of traits with no real character and even he stumbles.Snowalker said:
Ryan Reynolds is like Nicolas Cage in a way, they only do one role good.
for Nicolas cage that is batshit insane.
for Ryan its a deadpan snarker who annoys his opponents into a blind rage.

I was stepping up to support South Korea but you beat me to it.JourneyThroughHell said:
The S.Koreans have to be really careful since their Northern cousins are on their doorstep with nuclear bombs and a 9 and a half million strong army! Give them a break :/
As for Captain America, I haven't seen it yet but I've liked most of the other Marvel films and I've heard good things here in the UK.
Yeah, I was just joking because of Spider-Man 3 and the whole "I'm evil now, so I'll imitate Saturday Night Fever and REALLY enjoy pie" thing.Abandon4093 said:
Spawn would make a really good movie, given the current them of "make everything dark and gritty." They just need to keep Sid the Sloth out of it.
...Ah, Hell, it'd probably be directed by Michael Bay starring Shia LaBeef.
The only reason I saw it in 3D, was because that's all the cinema bloody offered!!!Greg Tito said:
But anyway i still enjoyed the movie.
This has to stop! Master Chief Petty Officer, or MCPO is an actual rank in the US navy. They're called Master Chiefs for short. The Halo character is called Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, but he needed a nickname so friends just call him Chief.thaluikhain said:
I actually enjoyed Green Lantern more than Thor. Green Lantern had awful trailers though, I wouldn't have seen it at all if it wasn't for free tickets. I expected to hate it and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't great, but how many movies about guys in spandex are? First Class was pretty sweet though...
My complaint about Captain America isn't about the Captain or America, but Red Skull and Hydra. I felt "Agent" Schmidt was pretty dull as a villain, and Hydra...I'm all for evil Nazi experiments, but the Hydra tech was just ridiculous.
And on Reynolds, how many actors do you really see playing more than one or two characters over and over again? In many movies he's in, Reynolds is the only thing I actually enjoy watching. And he does have a couple of genuinely good films under his belt.
While that is true (and it's not like Lt.Colonels or Major Generals are an alien concept), he seems to be referred to as "Master Chief" almsot exclusively in most media. Sure, you could call a superhero "Captain" if they actually held that rank, and almost never mention their name (or service), but it doesn't strike me as a good idea.excalipoor said:
Thank You! You know a lot of people on this very site were bitching about Cap having a movie made about him because "it was just going to be a flag waving dick slinging movie". Cap has never been about that. Actually, Captain America is just an all around nice guy. He's a soldier, but he has broken the law before if he saw it unjust or immorale (think Civil War).Sixcess said:
I heard about it just recently, I intend to watch it in the near future.Zing said:
Counts for the studio, they rarely care for more than the box-office results. Even if a movie creates a few dedicated fans, as long as it doesn't make enough at the box-office, it's highly unlikely to get a sequel. For First Class, I liked it but don't know if it's the best, I liked the first 3 (even wolverine wasn't a complete disaster in my eyes) for their campy-ness, but on the other hand, I'm not a dedicated X-men fan/buff/comic-reader as others.
That's not true. I doubt international audiences would pine for anything resembling a monopolistic statement--America is a Continent, not a Country. Or at least it is in a global sense, not a domestic one.The Rogue Wolf said:
Either way, it seems a fair number of our fellow Americans are genuinely surprised to learn that it is not them but the actions of their government that people everywhere else don't like.
Hell, even I can deal with good ol' cap.
I think movieBob described it pretty well when he described Captain America, "He's patriotic, but not in a douche-baggey way," thus making him a bit more approachable.
I'm glad that people realise that underneath the patriotism, Captain America's actually an interesting and solid superhero.
Captain America was a decent movie. And it wasnt barf-worthy on the nationalism either. My only gripe with it is that Captain America has to be the most boring super-hero ever. He is like super-man. Without the powers, and the story of being from another planet.
The only two times CA has been interesting imo is when he fought other super heroes in civil war, and when he died.
The movie was popcorn worthy though. Not nearly as good as Iron Man, nor as interesting as Thor...but decent enough.

You'll be pleased to know a prequel to X-men origins is planned, with him reprising the role. And personally I found it to be the better one, the first having the bouncy blood god and the second a meh horror theme.Fbuh said:
P.S I ate a lot of garlic earlier... And I just farted
damn straight,Snowalker said:
i actually do like some of his less popular films, such as:
chaos theory, definitely maybe, and just friends (the proposal was..ehh)
also in change up he did pretty damn well in role reversal on what the movie was trying to accomplish, IMO
plus he is confirmed as deadpool in the deadpool movie, so haters gonna hate, but he's gonna rock that roll amazingly.
he's not loud and not vulgar...Kurokami said:
wait what?
are we..what have you watched that he was in?
because obviously not what i have seen...
boom.VanityGirl said:
hell that was the WHOLE DAMN POINT of ultimate avengers 2 (i played it on the wii, not sure if it was on other systems)
Cap was the one against the goverment listings of superheroes and their identities while ironman was all for it, and cap was willing to fight against america/the government to make sure his ideals were upheld (original american ideals,freedom,freedom of speech, etc..)
I remember being REALLY surprised by how good First Class was, and that makes me think it was hurt not only by lackluster advertising, but also by how poorly received X-men 3 and Origins:Wolverine were by fans.fix-the-spade said:
Thor, on the other hand, had advertising everywhere, was on the tail of a pretty good Iron Man sequel, and was around the time that whisperings of an "Avengers" movie mash-up started.
