Don't be the party pooper.

yea awhile go their may have no been news/plans to do more hulks but things could change and all that. It still was a modest sucess for marvel and a enjoyable film. I would love ot see another. Also cant wait to see how thor/cap and im2 all shape up.

Is Rocketeer a movie I can see any where?

Ever heard of an invention called a dvd?

 

[BestGirl]

I like the picture attached to the article. That's a really different version of the costume.

Really? Really?

Yes and it would be worth your while. There's a smoking hot, young Jennifer Connelly as the female lead in it. She had a little weight (baby fat) on her too. Man, she was great. She's too Hollywood skinny now.

I really like the description of the movie as elements of those movies. Now if they just stay with the traditional costume.

I have really doubts that this movie will be all that great.
It´s all set on WWII, and i wouldn´t want it anyother way, but, even so, i have the feeling it will fall more on the Rocketeer than Saving Private Ryan, and bare in mind that i love the Rocketeer.
A great Captain America movie should be an extremely serious movie about war and it´s effects on everything that surrounds it, seen through the eyes of a living legend.
From the trenches, to the bombardments, to the concentration camps...all from the prespective of a guy that, all he really wanted was to serve his country, and found out it wasn´t about America, it was about the world.
And don´t even try to make it an all American movie, with flags waving in the air, because, contrary to what people think, Cap America is not about America as a country, but America as an ideal of liberty and equality, things that run across all the globe (but with diferent names, of course).
I bet it will not be like that.

While I like your vision of the direction that FA:CA should take, I have to admit that there still could be room for some Raiders of the Lost Ark swash-buckling fun & humor. Too much seriousness probably wouldn't play well to the masses. I think if Marvel & Johnston can actually pull off a hybrid of Rocketeer, Raiders & Saving Pvt. Ryan, they could have an all-out hit on their hands! It will be tough to achive the right balance, but I'll bet that it can be done. I'm still leery of Penn's involvement in writing the script, though. His past projects leave me wondering if he's up to the challenge. We shall see.
My excitement level just went up a few notches! Thanks Louis Leterrier!

I'm all for swash buckling fun, but when I think of "Saving Private Ryan", besides the serious tone, is the epic classic scale. There is no doubt that "Raiders" fits that bill as well, afterall they were both directed by Speilberg. I'm just saying that I want Joe Johnston to have really classic imagery as well as iconic music in this film to invoke a really strong emotional impact. James Horner anyone?

I want that feeling of "America! F*** YEAH!!!!".

But the thing is, fun, action, excitment...all those things are inherent to the comic book genre, so, that´s why i didn´t addressed that.
But, imo, all comic book movies, if done properly, should be very serious movies, because they are about the men and women behind the masks and not the other way around (that´s why, 80% of comic book movies suck or are just popcorn fun).
Captain America should be even more, because it deals with the mother of all wars.

 

[Spider-Vader]

This is what I wanted for a Cap movie. Raiders is the perfect start for Cap IMO.

I have a feeling if Hulk is popular in the Avengers, Marvel will give him another movie. TIH was pretty well recieved, it just wasn't that popular at the BO because of 'Hulk' & Universal's s*** promotion.

Exactly! I'm going to use Watchmen as a perfect example. Say what you will about the film, but you have to admit that the tone coincided both entertainment (through stylized action) and in depth character study. An ideal Captain America should have its own unique style in imagery, while developing characters through serious provocative themes.

 

[KangConquers]

Well that's a different article... plus that was a while back and Hurd has basically given us nothing since then.

I have also expressed doubts that we'll see an Incredible Hulk 2. Maybe a threeboot in 2015 or something, but not a direct sequel.

 

[FaT_tONle]

The day we start getting threeboots is the day the genre has officially been p***ed on.

John Williams FTW. t:

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Picture with article. Not official concept art but a painting of what one would like to see the suit.

That's very cool. Who is it as Cap?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

John Williams FTW. t:

Yea John Williams would be my choice.

Cap needs a really strong, unforgettable theme. Williams could create something special.

 

[Rage]

Batman - Batman Forever - Batman Begins... That seems like a threeboot!!

 

[FaT_tONle]

Schumacher films were not complete reboots.

 

[Triad]

Yeah, If I remember correctly, The actors that played Alfred and Commissioner Gordon were constants in the first 4 films.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

That's very cool. Who is it as Cap?

Nope, Red Skull.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Nope, Red Skull.

Wha...? No I meant who is Cap in the picture.

 

[Team Andino]

The day we start getting threeboots is the day the genre has officially been p***ed on.

Poor poor Punisher....

I keep hoping for a sequel with Thomas Jane....

 

[Rage]

Schumacher films were not complete reboots.

Okay...

Batman (1966) starring Adam West

Batman (1989) starring Michael Keaton

Batman Begins (2005) starring Christian Bale

or...

Superman and the Mole-Men (1951) starring George Reeves

Superman (1978) starring Christopher Reeve

Superman Returns (2006) starring Brandon Routh


It's not that uncommon

 

[Spider-Vader]

That's very cool. Who is it as Cap?

I think it's Steve. It looks like it's based on his costume he wore in WW2 in the Ultimate universe. I like it.

Yea John Williams would be my choice.

Cap needs a really strong, unforgettable theme. Williams could create something special.

A mix between Indy & Saving Private Ryan seems good for me. Maybe a little bit of Superman.

I think that the mini series Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty strikes a great balance of humour (early with him discovering his power) and seriousness (late with him questioning everything about WWII and his involvement)

This movie needs to have a deep side to it. Captain America is a guy who risks his life... just so he can fight the worst possible enemy to his very core beliefs. That needs to eminate from this movie. Nazi = Evil! Cap needs to be the guy that goes to war not because Pearl Harbor was bombed, but because of what the Nazis are doing to the people of Europe and Asia. THey need to play up the indifference in most americans at the time to the war (because the US was making money hand over fist) and not have Pearl Harbor be the catalyst for Steve Rogers. Steve would have been in WWII way before PH if he could get into the army before the SSS experiment. I think they should mention or show him attempting to join the Canadian Military or RTF because HE HATES WHAT THE NAZIS ARE DOING (not because of Pearl Harbor)
