Yeah, I'm kinda excited about it. The song choice in the trailer was meh. And HQ's one-liners were less than inspiring. But I still think this is gonna be fun.

This interests me way more than a third Captain America movie.

I would support this if the second Captain America movie hadn't done to other Marvel films what Peeps did to LV.

Don't tell anyone but I'm more interested in the Wonder Woman movie.

I thought Winter Soldier was mediocre.

Yeah, people give Winter Soldier way more credit than it deserves. Textbook Marvel blandness.

I am too, of course, but that early footage didn't look very promising. Felt kinda cheap and TV, despite the stylized cinematography. Kind of a bummer.

Yeah, I'll wait until there's more "official" "finished" shots, y'know? Still, I'm pumped for it. Very interested even after the limited footage I've seen.

PLUS... Chris Pine...

I thought what Kenneth Branagh did visually with the first Thor movie was impressive. Shame he didn't direct the second one, which was boring and safe.

guys, winter soldier is pretty fantastic.

but it didn't desaturate everything and treat every action shot as though it was the most epic punch evar!!1!

I rest my case

It was definitely a Marvel high point.

Mostly I'm madly in love with Marvel's handling (and Chris Evans' portrayal) of Captain America as compared to the entirely botched portrayal of Superman by DC. They are similar characters, but where Cap comes across as sincere, warm and authentic, Superman is wooden and lifeless.

To pull off such a guileless, morally superior character in this cynical age is extremely difficult. These types of characters are far more likely to be mocked or changed into Batman these days. Marvel nailed it, and the old Donner Superman movies did a good job, but thus far Snyder hasn't done much with Superman except make him more emo.

Yeah, I'm with you, Burt.

For whatever reason - I liked emo Superman

There were moments here and there, but for the most part he was barely a character at all.
