I loved sunshine! The ending was weak in comparison to the start, but still fantastic... Chris Evans was a scene stealer in it, IMO.

Definitely agree there, it got away from the foundation it had built on believable scientific theory.

YEAH, they ended up going the cliche Sci-Fi ending of the space-crazies... Shame! I was expecting something new! Oh well!

Chris Evans in Sunshine = Captain America in Space!

Spoiler

It's ironic because of how he died. By freezing to death.

Haha... I forgot about that! He was a star in that film! Like a movie star, not a physical one... Because he was in space!

So, is anyone else worried Marvel forgot to get a marketing team for this movie?... One real trailer... Little to no online adverts or news tibits.

Never a good sign...

They are still in Thor mode.

Plus X-men probably has something to do with it.

Even though it's not their movie, it's still their movie, if that makes any sense

Superhero movie overload

Then again, yeah....maybe the movie is in trouble

Mike, what do you think is going on with Cap's advertising.

Trouble in Joe Johnston land or is Marvel timing it not to affect Thor's box office or they don't want to cannibalize X-men.

I'm still baffled that a new Cap trailer didn't play with Thor.

I just think they don't want to distract from Thor right now. I don't expect to see a ton of marketing for this film until Green Lantern has been out for a week or two. Compared to last year, this summer is very crowded with event pictures. It is going to require some clever marketing to be heard over all the other big movies.

I don't expect a big media blitz for Cap until around the last part of June, first of July.

Me either. At least around here I didn't start seeing ads until about a month before. Really not an issue so I'm
Sure next month things will heat up.

Once Thor's run is done then Cap will get his chance. No worries...

Right Thor still has some legs left in the theaters. Especially since its only in week 3.

Not surprised to be honest. Its a chick flick comedy that will bring in more of the ladies.

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread

Here's the difference between a movie like that and Thor. There are far more women who want to go see a superhero movie than guys who want to see a movie like that. At least in the people I work with.

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

I know all the whys.....

I just hate it when any movie does better than what I enjoy

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread

I understand that.
