Thor was decent. Wasn't amazing, but not a waste of money either.

I will wait to decide where to put CA when it comes out..but if it's *that good* I might put it between DK and BB.

TIC = The Incredibles?

Cause that was a good ing movie!

Yea what's TIC??

I think he meant The Incredible Hulk but spelled it wrong here. He was talking about it on the 2nd page.

I am really pumped for Captain America. I think it looks great, but I don't know if it will top Thor for me. I expected Thor to be complete shit but I ended up loving it when going in with super low expectations.

Having Cap be a period piece is brilliant. If FF had been a period piece it could have been a great series as well. The reason Donner's first Superman worked (and holds up so well) is in part because it started out feeling really old school and idealistic. Cap and Supes REALLY need that American as apple pie theme and imagery. Also once he's unthawed in the Avengers they should milk the man out of time tropes for the full effect. Imagine Tony Stark questioning Cap's blind 40s heroism. Makes for good conflict. Hulk the brute, Tony the a-hole, Thor the Shakespearean looney, Black Widow the eyecandy, and Hawkeye the covert agent. Something for everyone..

That seems to be the way they're portrayed, especially Cap and Stark. Because really, in a hand to hand fight without his armor, Stark would get his ass kicked. And to the point that Cap is a symbol of the past and Stark spends his time thinking of the future.

OOPS I meant The Incredible Hulk. Sorry for the confusion and no it wasn't the incredibles smart guy!.

I agree, Stark in IM1 and IM2 is nothing without his armor. Bruce Wayne could kick his ass in a second

The previews strike me of an edgier, more polished Rocketeer. IMHO that's a good thing.

Iron Man was a great character driven movie with a great lead and really likable supporting characters. That's really what every comic book movie should aspire to be. Since all the comic book nerds already know what's going to happen anyway, there's no point in slavishly trying to please them. It seemed like Green Lantern's screenplay tried to do that and well... you get Ryan Reynolds fighting a giant yellow blob made of fear.

I just hope for this one they put story first and take whatever liberties they need to make sure it is decent.

I hope this is a good movie. Thor was a little undercooked but I heard there will be a Thor 2 in the future. There is soo much more they can do with that franchise.

You must be talking about Iron Man 2, right? The boss fight in the first Iron Man was so much better, though still nothing special. But Iron Man 2's boss fight lasted seconds and was a complete downer.

As for this movie, I'm looking forward to it more than any other film this year. Love me some Cap.

Iron Man 2 was stupid and I don't count it.

I was talking about the first one, because I don't get the love for it.
