Captain America (film)

Fuck that. I was hoping for rubber nipples.

The first thing I thought when I saw these photos was how shitty those "evil" bikes look. They look like something out of GI Joe or Shumacher's Batman.... Bass--Cobra was the very first thing that leapt into my mind when I saw those bad guys and their bikes! I was hoping and still hope that this won't be a campy piece of crap, but I'm a little nervous right now! Someone come along and calm me down. Hellsing? Anybody?

everyone calm down, the first captain america movie started in the 40's too

everyone calm down, the first captain america movie started in the 40's too The first issue introducing the character started in the forties. It's part of the comic character's history. It's not the time period that raises concern, but some of the designs.

Ick, every one of those shots caused me worry. Costume looks goofy as hell. . I hope to God that it was only for distance shots. . . .and is that the dude from Scrubs in the costume there?

I agree...some of those shots do look rough. But one thing to consider is that while it may look like hell in these unofficial photos, it may look awesome on the big screen. I remember when shots leaked of the suit from Batman Begins, everyone was freaking out because it looked like rubber shit. Then when the film came around, it worked incredibly well. Hopefully something similar is going on here...

Yup. The Super Soldier Serum. Another staple of the character. This new film is doing the same.

[acealive1]

serum? it was a radioactive machine he sat in front of in the film. damn these hollywood directors LOL the term they used in the first film was "world class athlete" so he could be hurt but you'd have to empty a full clip into him

[bassman]

Can't really comment on that first film, but this new one seems to be going by the origins in the books. He participates in the experimental serum testing and then becomes a super soldier. He can be harmed, but he's much stronger than any normal man. I think he also later used the radioactive machine you're referring to. You seem to be a fan of that earlier film. I haven't seen it in years and I'm not even sure if I saw all of it, but I remember it being pure garbage. Batman and Robin levels of garbage.....

[acealive1]

actually the screenplay i read is no worse than the modern comic based films. it was just a victim of being too soon just like the first punisher movie. i'll admit it was campy as hell, but the first x men film was way worse.

[clanglee]

i'll admit it was campy as hell, but the first x men film was way worse. What?!??! The first Xmen movie rocked!!

[bassman]

What?!??! The first Xmen movie rocked!! I agree with Clang, here. Bryan Singer's first two Xmen movies were pretty damn awesome. Miles ahead of that Cap America from the late 80s/early 90's. And I'm not even an Xmen fan... But DC is where it's at.

[acealive1]

you're not listening........the first one. early 90's....

[bassman]

you're not listening........the first one. early 90's.... Uhhh...yeah. I think everyone knows the piece of shit film you're talking about. We're just saying that you're insane if you think it's better than the first Xmen flicks. And just for reference....it's not "the first one". There have been several Cap Am movies. Including one in the forties.
