lol it felt like alot more once the dude gets it it flies alot lol, and yes he beats up alot of guys
SAAD here you go. Spoiler tags for safety:So did Captain America only throw his shield 5 times through out the movie? I remember Joe Johnston saying that he would only throw his shield 5 x.
Secondly, does Cap beat up alot of guys?
Thirdly, how many action pieces are spread out through out the movie?
What, two sentences and positive?
I just got back from the midnight show. I'm not sure how I feel about the film yet. It definitely wasn't bad.
Off the top of my head, I like that it felt more like an older action movie. Probably a lot to do with the fact that Cap doesn't have any 'powers', it was nice to see tried and true 'guns and punching' in a CBM. Hugo Weaving was great, all of the humor landed.
I didn't like that we never are really told what Red Skull's motivations are. What's his plan, besides attacking American cities? Why America first? What's he going to to once he's finished?
I also feel like many of the action scenes weren't big enough. The situations are pretty awesome, the tone is certainly epic, but it seemed like the camera was always mid-to-close range. There wasn't a lot of breathing room.
I'll definitely be seeing it again. But at this point I'm neither disappointed nor blown away.
Kick ass.
It's so refreshing to get a movie with zero cynicism, with no hipster irony, no post-modern deconstruction. This is 100% sincere, genuine. A movie with no qualms about having a firm moral center, that extols the virtues of being a good person.
And that shield was pretty badass too.
just saw... and i certainly dont agree with all these amazing reviews...
this movie was soo bland...
the first half had the most heart (but not too much, mostly 'weak men are more powerful' speeches)... as soon as he becomes cap america it really goes downhill for me.
there was absolutely nothing particularly super about captain america, his 'powers' were barely touched upon, and the action was very generic lol
a certain death scene felt completely insignificant (especially with the added blaring cheesy music)..
im extremely tired of those underground tunnel lairs from x2 fantastic four gi joe and all those other movies with uncreative set designers lol... and is it me or did red skull hire some reject gijoe henchmen? lol
not even sure if red skull had any powers...
not sure what the hell happened to red skull.. especially since that energon cube is never explained...
other than the skinny evans vfx shots... the cgi looked terrible. there were some awful backdrops throughout.. some were understandibly stylish (the theme park) but others were bad.
i get what they were trying to do.. and they did it, but for it to have been a great film they should've tried to add something more or special to make it more than just a throwback to good campy films.
6 out of 10... probably never watching it again tho, prefered Thor
My favorite comic film since The Dark Knight.
Just a thoroughly enjoyable film. I haven't felt that good coming out of a theatre in a loooong time. Earnest and unashamed of its comic-bookiness. I loved how, after he rips off his face-mask, Red Skull just walks through the whole rest of the movie confident in his crimson skin. He was a total pimp, right down to his sweet wheels.
Not only was the tone and the subject matter Raiders-ish, so was the action. The punches hit hard and the gunshots fly with glee. And of course, propeller + man = wetness.
Just a blast. And the um...post credits "scene"...yeah, I'm gonna need to watch that again. Missed most of it due to myself and the rest of the audience shrieking in glee and fanning ourselves to prevent fainting.
i feel this way about thor, TIH, and captain america...bland is the word. yuk. id rather a movie just be horrible so i know whats up and we know we're getting a reboot, than BLAND smh
its so bland i almost hated it for that reason. there is no reason i EVER need to watch this again. lets not even get into plot hole heaven
i just hate comic booky live action films...i watch the fiilm to watch the FILM and not a live action comic book. i hate movies that draw attention to the genre of what they have been adapted from. like how Doom had a FPS scene. smh
the blaring cheesy music and just corniness throughout killed me
