Captain America: The First Avenger, What did you think? (Spoilers)

I just came back from the midnight premiere. I thought it was really good. One of the better Marvel superhero movies. I think Chris Evans did a good job.

What did you think?

Really? No one saw the movie?

I think it just came out. Wait till the weekend and you should have lots of replies.

Haven't seen it yet, but I will sometime today. It best be good.

How much did you think it was going to cost? It's a summer blockbuster superhero movie, the big budget is reasonable.

I saw it for the 2nd time. It is a really good movie. Even people in the theater that aren't comic Marvel fans loved it and clapped.

I have towaittill aug 22to see it:cry:

I liked it even though it was pretty cliche. The ending truly pissed me off though.

[spoiler] That was such a huge slap in the face for him not only to wake up 75 years in the future but then he says, "I just had a date." When he said that it left me thinking "WTF." Not only did they have the audacity to just stop the love story that was present throughout the entire film without concluding it, the way he said it was like, "oh, crap I had a date but I missed it because it's 70 years in the future, well everyone I've ever known including the girl of my dreams is dead but oh well." I mean wtf who wrote that ending? Seems like they made that movie just as a pre-cursor to the Avengers film coming out [/spoiler]

With a better ending: 8.5 or 9 depending on how good it was With that pos ending 7-7.5

Yea the ending was sad actually. I thought they would be together for a while before he would get frozen. The love story was present through the whole movie and the girl just says "Promise me the date" right before he crashes and then BOOM. He never got to finish.

Maybe they just wanted to give the story a really dramatic ending.

I'm going to see it this weekend. He's my favorite superhero. I know this is pretty obvious but, was there an after credits scene? If so how was it? I just wanna know if it's good or bad nothing too specificDarthkaiser

YES, stay after. The best after credits scene in any Marvel movie. 8)

Really? No one saw the movie?

Three things shocked me

1. The movie was even better then I thought. Was expecting Ironman 2 quality, but got Thor level:D

2. The Theater was packed with people wanting to see CA, easily twice as much as was there when I saw HP opening day:shock:

3. That Nazi thrown into propeller scene, can't believe that made it past rating boards, but I am so glade it did:twisted:

You do realize that the original Predator came out in 1987 and that special effects and filmaking costs have increased since then right?

Haven't seen it yet, but I hope its ALOT better.... ALOOOOT better that the two Captain American movies I saw on Sci Fi (sorry SyFy) yesterday.

[QUOTE="MonsterVision"][QUOTE="xaos"] Why is that? That is a pretty moderate summer blockbuster budgetCycleOfViolence

I think he forgot the part about the cost of things in 1987 vs present time. Also how come we have to pay 4 bucks for ice cream these days when it cost 10 cents in the '50s? :P

I'm going to see it today, really hyped! I'll post my thoughts of the movie in this thread later.

Should I see it in 3D or not??? Why aren't more people talking about this movie?!

I actually heard the 3D suposed to be good this time (suposed to be a new confersion process)

I loved it, surprisingly good acting from all involved... and yes, the Avengers preview is at the end of the credits.... and that looks awesome :D

yes, they play down his agility a little and his fights are... "meat and potato's" but they did much worst with wolverine.

Must see for any fan of comics or anyone who likes action movies.

Have'nt seen it yet but I'm keeping my expectations low. The entire premise of "Captain America" is downright retarded in the first place ;) I love the "Ultimate" portrayal though, because the writers ackowledged that he'd be a somewhat unrelatable party pooper of an ancient relic.

There's a reason Dr. Denmark, Mr. Mexico, Cadet Cuba and Ambassadeur Canada do not exist.

Edit: Besides, most of these super hero movies need larger balls behind them. We're getting PG13 films based on much more mature content.

I actually thought the 3D was suprisingly good. Unlike most 2D to 3D conversions.

I really enjoyed the movie. The only problem I have is that he didn't get to go on a date with her!

I thought it was pretty good. You have to wait until after the credits to get the full effect.

I liked that the plot set it up for The Avengers in a nice way... It made it better than 'person gets powers -> person is happy/sad - person is sad/happy -> person beats bad guy -> end'.

It made me sad that all the people he knew weren't around anymore when he woke up at the end though. They didn't even make a big deal about it... I was expecting him to go see one or more of them in their old age, if they were still around, but he didn't so I guess they aren't :(

3. That Nazi thrown into propeller scene, can't believe that made it past rating boards, but I am so glade it did:twisted:

dercoo

That was kind of unexpected. :P

I thought it was exceptional. Not the best Marvel movie, but certainly better than Thor.

Paco8byu

favorite Marvel Studios movie since

Iron Man 1

and

Incredible Hulk.

They seem to have gotten everything about Captain America and encapsulate it so well.

fantastic job, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I will wait for The Dark Knight Rises thanks.Master_Live
