Captain America
« on: July 25, 2011, 02:18:52 PM »
..was awesome. If you liked Iron Man, this is as good if not better. (Also it had that quality like The Rocketeer where you feel you are actually in the 40's.)



And Hugo Weaving is an awesome villain. Even as an over-the-top eeeeeeeeeeeevil comic book villain with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>COMPLETELY MINOR SPOILER ALERT!!!<<<<<<<<<<<

Random underling at a destroyed factory: "I'm sorry, Herr Schmidt, we fought to the last man!"

Hugo Weaving, unholstering his pistol: "Evidently not." Shoots the guy.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Saw it over the weekend.....I'd say it was better than THOR.....as good as HULK....but not quite at IRON MAN level.....definitely worth seeing.....esp. if you wait until after the credits....  =D






......and can someone confirm that Nathan Fillion is supposed to be Dr. Henry Pym in the aforementioned thing after the credits?......  =|

Hugo weaving is always (v for vendetta and LoR not withstanding...okay, fine I just mean the matrix and transformers series) a character with no redeeming qualities. :)

I like it, but I too thought Iron Man was a better picture.

On a side note, I haven't been to the movies since Avatar.  I was happy to share a crowded theater with a couple hundred people, and nobody that I noticed talked or used a cell phone during the film.  Of course, they only reminded us about half a dozen times during the intros.

I almost would refuse to see it based on that alone.

Movies like this are why I don't like to go with women.  To movies, that is.  Not that it wasn't a good movie, but I had to go see Horrible Bosses this weekend because she didn't want to see Captain America.  Guess I have to go early this weekend.

Liked Thor, and liked Captain America more.  Iron Man was just as good.

The big thing is that I can only hope that our favorite movie maker...Joss Wedon...can bring it all together into an awesome Avengers movie next summer.

Holy crap, I had no idea Whedon was the director.

My wife and I were already excited, but now Robert Downey, Jr. and Joss Whedon? This will be fun.
