Re: Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
Holy crap. Looks better than The Avengers and might be poised to become my new favorite superhero film of all time. I hated what Brubacher did with Bucky but damn if that trailer wasn't awesome!
I can't believe I finally lived to see an era of awesome live-action Captain America movies.

I know, it looks more like Avengers 2 with Stark, Thor, Hulk and Hawkeye on vacation.
Well, who really cares where Hawkeye is at.

Re: Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
I thought First Avenger was good, but not great by any stretch. It was a good introduction, but didn't develop his character very much, and we didn't see enough real Cap action for my tastes. They seemed to skim over a lot of that for the purpose of getting from point A to point B in the story. The major positive of that film, to my eyes, is simply that we finally saw Cap on the big screen. I lump it in with other Marvel U films like Thor, IM3, and Incredible Hulk as decent, but secondary entries in that universe behind the really great films like Iron Man 1 and Avengers (hopefully this new film and GOTG will be in that category). First Class, on the other hand, was arguably the best film in the X franchise. My second favorite, despite the liberties it took with comic characters.

Re: Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
They kinda have to push Evans and give him a huge pic. Cap needs to take the helm now that RDJ's Iron Man is sitting out stand-alones. Hopefully we see him in the center role in Avengers 2, where Cap belongs.
Meanwhile WB is signing Seth Rogan to play Luthor.

Re: Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
After we left the theater, my wife was not impressed with the first Cap movie, either. She's not a big comic fan or anything, so she didn't have any of those biases, and her big complaint was that he was just sort of there. She didn't understand why we should care about this character, as he didn't seem very interesting or special apart from his powers. She only went to see Avengers because she loved RDJ. And I think that's a problem filmmakers haven't adequately dealt with yet re: Cap. In Avengers, he's still just some guy, who gets treated a certain way because he was this heroic old war symbol, and he's allowed to lead the Avengers for some reason, but at every turn Stark one ups him--he's more clever, he's more insightful, he's funnier, he's more likable, etc. Cap needs to step out of his shadow here IMO, if he's going to be anything more than a superficial imitation of what he is in the comics.

LIKE A BOSS!!
This trailer certainly showed steve as a capable wairrior, not just a man but a 'super' man. in previous movies his abilities were no more special than Widow

Re: Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
Seriously.
Avengers 2 with Cap doing all the ***-kicking this time and in a cool suit again. Works for me.

Re: Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
That was my whole point earlier. *yawn* Cap was exposed as the antiquated hero he is (at the time of Avengers). The modern America is all about success, capitalism, etc., which means that Iron Man/Stark personifies today what Cap did during his era. So hopefully, given enough time to thaw (pun intended), this Cap in Winter Soldier will be more adept and less naive. He needs to be because he needs to take the wheel and drive the franchise from here on out.

Damn; does not look like a Marvel superhero movie. I love the tone, and hope it's as good as it looks.
