I couldn’t stop running random mahvel quotes through my head. Also when he threw that shield against the tank and beaned mans, I threw that shit before I came in the room! I wanted to shout it so bad lol.
But yeah I had a good time, fun movie.

Shitty? Naw sir that trailer was hype as hell and it was most definitely interesting. The trailers that are on youtube are shitty camera quality that you can barely tell whats going on.
Went to go see it Friday night and pretty much enjoyed it. ‘YOU ARE FAAAAAILLINNNGG!!!’ will probably end up being a meme at some point.
didnt care for it. Feel alseep toward the end.
Cap in the comic is much more enjoyable, somethings just dont translate to big screen will imo cap is one of them
LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!
Can’t wait to see The Avengers!
You missed a lot then, because the movie is at its best at the end. I thought they did an amazing job making the audience care for Steve Rogers as a person, while also showing plenty of the cool stuff that Captain America does. I felt that the film had some issues, but that it was all together very well done, with an emotional ending that you almost never see in Summer comic book movies.
movie was cool, steve rogers was done well. i wish they had more of him reacting to being in modern times though, that could have been interesting/funny
Steve Rogers is such a beast.
Great film, caught it last night
points to Avatar
YEAHHHHHHH
This is what the Avengers movie is for.
What I really liked is that it captured the time and movies from that time as awesome. Seeing the World’s Expo in the 40s in comparison to how it looked in Iron Man 2 was also cool. Stark was really suave in this movie as well, Walt Disney up the wazoo.
I don’t get how you could call this boring, but then again these kids these days with their pastel colors and their dubstep have no taste.
The end was not really confusing, unless you just came in after the start of the movie.
Can’t wait to see Steve Rogers visit Betty in the present. that’s going to be a good scene in the avengers.
[spoilers=“bucky”]bucky was experimented on with the super soldier serum right? That’s why he’s the only guy on that lab table all tied up. I thought his “death” was funny though, Wile E Coyote. SO anybody think at the end of Avengers begin of Captain America 2 we get the winter soldier?[/spoilers]
That trailer was on point, and really set the tone. I think Hawkeye will be the breakout star of the movie though.
Avengers, defenders, thunderbolts? I make any team good.
i very much enjoyed watching the “Cap trashes Hydra” montage
overall this movie made me want to see The Avengers that much more. I wonder what happens next, but I really do love how Marvel has created a complete movie version of their universe (even though it does sadly lack the storylines involving the X-men and Spiderman)
pfft they could integrate them once they get those franchises back easily.
I was listening to an audio review of the movie on Spill.com, and they mentioned that at one point, Jon Favreau was slated to direct Captain America, and that he had planned to make it a comedy, Back to the Future-style. I feel like that wouldn’t have worked out so great.
I wish they would of talked about the actual shield a bit more. Also a bit more dialogue between Cap and Skull in the final act.
The movie was good. As I said I while ago I was hoping for Dark Knight level of greatness, but as things neared my expectations lowered and even if they didn’t that wouldn’t have stopped me from liking this movie. I was surprised about the [details=Spoiler]Cap being a cheesy children’s hero thing.They even had the old 40s comics in there.[/details]. I thought that was different and I doubt that was in the comics, so it was nice to see something go in a different direction that isn’t bad or insulting.
This movie is pretty cool and overall I was entertained and hook’d on it ever second
2 things got to me though
[details=Spoiler]The lack of Captain America obtaining battle strategies and/or being a master strategist… Umm. He has books in his bags about war, so we are suppose to acknowledge that he read a lot about wars, lmao.
Lack of a training montage it woulda been nice instead of YOU WERE MADE FOR MOARRR!
haha… the insurance agent gimmick part was pretty whack, funny, but maybe after like a mission or something… [/details]
Saw this last night and I really enjoyed it! I’m pretty biased towards Iron Man so it still doesn’t touch that for me but I enjoyed it more than Thor. Gonna pick up the blu-ray upon release.
saw this last night. I am torn up the middle. One one hand, I loved almost everything about the movie. The cast and art direction were fucking stellar. The effects were well done. Hell, even the cheesy HEIL HYDRA that kept happening in the movie didn’t catch me as being TOO cheesy. However, I found the action lacking. A lot of scenes of Cap fucking a dude up behind the scenes. You just see an arm pop out from the back of a jeep, and a Nazi would go flying. There’s the one scene where Cap actually is just taking people out left and right, and it was a badass scene, but I felt like they needed more.
I also had a problem with Cap receiving no training on how to be a soldier. He just gets the initial training as a runt, then becomes Cap, and is off to sell war bonds. Then he goes to war, STILL with no training as Cap. I was hoping to see him at least get trained by Tommy Lee, and see him obliterate army training courses. I’m hoping in the Avengers, Fury at least trains his ass off.
[details=Spoiler]I am guessing that in the Avengers, we’ll find out Bucky made it, and that he married the girl he didn’t get to go on a date with? And thus obviously meet them.
Also, what happened with the Cosmic Cube? I saw at the end how Stark had it, but I kinda lost what was happening there. Are they insinuating that the Stark Ark technology from the Iron Men movies, and thus the Iron Man suit itself, come from the Cosmic Cube???[/details]
also, they didn’t explain what happened to all the confiscated Hydra technology? Kinda seems odd that they get the tanks and weapons, and then for the next 70 years, it’s never seen or used again
The way all the films have tied together is a little absurd at this point, and I mean that in a good way.
[spoiler=How Captain America ties into Iron Man / Hulk / Thor courtesy of another forum~]
[SIZE=13px]Connection to [SIZE=13px]“Iron Man 1 & 2”[/SIZE][/SIZE]
-Howard Stark helped created the tech to create Captain Ameirca and was directly involved in much operational planning and the missions, which would lead him down the road as one of the original founders of S.HI.E.L.D.
-Stark Industries responsible for most of the tech in the film, their 1940’s logo are found at the expo and labs.
**-Rogers attends a Stark Expo, the very same Expo seen in **[SIZE=13px]“Iron Man 2”****[/SIZE]
-Cap’s Shield is made of Vibranium, a rare element, the very same element what Tony is able to reproduce with his fathers clues in the designs seen in [SIZE=13px]“Iron Man 2”.[/SIZE]
-Howard Stark finds the lost Tesseract at the end, which leads him creating blue print designs about the cubes structure and overall power, which can be seen in a case of paperwork that Tony looks through in the middle of [SIZE=13px]“Iron Man 2”.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=13px]Connections to [SIZE=13px]“Thor”[/SIZE][/SIZE]
-Tesseract cube (or the Cosmic Cube) is a weapon left on earth by Odin during his battle with the Frost Giants in 965 AD in Norway as shown in the opening of [SIZE=13px]“Thor”.[/SIZE]
-Yggdrasil wall art hides the Tesseract, the Tree of Life, the same concept design that Thor shares with Jane Foster.
-Asgardians were the “Gods” referenced throughout the film.
-When the Tesseract reveals its true powers to Red Skull (before consuming him) the heavens are shown much like in “Thor”. It is then that Red Skull is transported into the bifrost, which is a portal to the other 9 Realms including Asgard.
[SIZE=13px]Connections to [SIZE=13px]“The Incredible Hulk”[/SIZE][/SIZE]
-Red Skulls deformed appearance is explained by his body’s rejection of the serum because he was not worthy, the serum drives him even madder. This is exactly what happens to Emil Blonsky which leads to his transformation into the Abomination, with the help of gamma rays.
-The Super Soldier Serum is administered in a very similar way as it is to Blonsky.
Other Easter Eggs
-Stan Lee cameoed as a military officer at a Medal of Valor presentation for Steve, that he decides not to attend in order to keep fighting.
-Arnim Zola is first introduced as a giant distorted face on a screen, foreshadowing his characters true [SIZE=13px][COLOR=#ffffff]idenity[/COLOR].[/SIZE]
-Red Skull says at the beginning of the film, “And the Fuhrer is too busy digging for trinkets in the desert”, to look for a much more powerful item like the Tesseract. This is a direct reference to [SIZE=13px]“Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark” which “Captain America” director, Joe Johnston worked on as an Art Director, winning him his first Oscar.[/SIZE]
-Red Skull’s consumption at the hands of the Tesseract was very similar to how the Ark of the Covinenet killed the Nazis in[SIZE=13px] “Raiders”. Another “Raiders”** death style used in the film is the plane propeller death, when Cap threw a HYDRA bad guy into a fighter planes propeller, much in the vein when Indy was fighting the bald Nazi from “Raiders”.**[/SIZE] [/spoilers]
Also, did anyone catch the original Human Torch cameo at the expo?
Rumors are that there’s a Namor cameo somewhere in the film too~
