Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Wow! That looks really freaking awesome!

And is it just me, but is anyone else impressed that they got someone like Robert Redford involved in a movie like this?

Looks pretty cool!

Wow! i thought the first one was just "okay" but this looks much better.

I am excited by this trailer. My only compaint is that I DO NOT like Cap's "modern" uniform.

It's a lot better and less cheesy than the blue satin monstrosity he wore in The Avengers.

I prefer the hokey USO tour Captain America costume from the first movie to the bland, run of the mill, black one from this trailer.

Best part.

No.

I think him and Warren Beatty are aging male bimbos.


Rest of it looks cool though.

I prefer most "modern" superhero outfits to the old ones. I know a lot of comic fans like the classic look, but most other people would look at that say "kids movie".

Good thing she caught that -- would've taken off her head!

All told, it looks promising.

Shadowy government conspiracy? I'm in.

I believe that's a he, the eponymous Winter Soldier.

Be kind, not everyone's is clued in. I saw one comment on You Tube that acccused the movie of ripping off Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, (pretty sure the commenter had no clue to Bane's comic roots)

Oh, look. Another cookie-cutter Marvel superhero big budget explosion-fest that the fanboys are going to lap up like manna from heaven.

When the fuck is DC going to get it's shit together?

what's up with the metal arm? I thought that was the Jack Monroe/Nomad version (which isn't who WS is, apparently)?

interestingly enough, the uniform is canon(ish).

Well, gotta admit it: I like those movies. Brilliant execution of a long-term plan. Not the material of deep thought for days but highly entertaining without exception. DC's are... yea, well, Nolan'd.

Also, given that the last superhero comic I read was like 25 years ago, I must say that I like Marvel's heros a lot more than DC's. They are more human and not as stupidly overpowered as, say, Superman. Batman is of course an exception. There are actually stakes in Marvel's universe because the characters all have flaws. There need to be tons of deii ex machina to stop Flash, Green Lantern or Supes himself. You don't need a lot of crutches to put most X-Men, Spidey or Iron Man into a situation they might not master.

Some new character posters out today.

This one () is my favorite:

I liked the curly hair better though.

Holeee fuck! This is gonna be good!

Juat watched it on Yahoo. Looks freakin' awesome.

Looks like they've just about figured out the costume after the embarrassing one in Avengers. The navy blue uniform has exposed ears. I'm not sure why they went back to covered ears for the classic uniform but it looks like the actual suit was better than the on in Avengers.

Yes, although the trend seems toward de-powering DC's heroes to allow for credible human threats. Superman from Man of Steel is someone who gets knocked around by bombs and bullets, so, presumably, something like a nuke would kill him, or a high-powered laser cut cut him. He's not the Superman from Superman IV who can do things like MOVE THE MOON AROUND.

Dollars to donuts Batman gets ahold of Zod's suit, and uses the breather to synthesize Kryptonian atmosphere for a gas projectile.

4 minutes of Winter Soldier. The shots at about 2:43 are particularly spectacular.

Notice old lady Peggy Carter's voice in the trailer?

Looks a lot like the Captain has a falling out with SHIELD. Noticed the hovercarrier crashing.

Any action movie franchise in which the hero works for a powerful agency will inevitably have a plot where some/all of that agency becomes evil.

Kind of like how every rich white guy in a movie is evil, unless his name is Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark.

My only problem will be convincing the wife to make this our saturday night movie, 'cause she didn't like Cap 1. But I managed to get her to watch Thor 2 this week. I think if I agree to a Woody Allen movie the following week, it'll work.
