"You win wars with guts."

The newest trailer for the Captain America: The First Avenger film, complete with a lot more dialogue than previous trailers.

Legality:

The trailer. Thoughts:

- Increasingly, I'm thinking this might be the best superhero film of the summer (and I liked Thor and X-Men: First Class quite a lot).

- There's a lot more character stuff than previous trailers; in particular, Peggy gets a lot of dialogue, and I think she's shaping up very nicely. Hayley Atwell I already knew was a good fit for this period in history (Brideshead Revisited), and unlike a lot of superhero love interests she's gorgeous while not looking or sounding like a bad fit for her supposed occupation (hello, scientist Jessica Alba).

- I also like what we see/hear of Erskine. Despite being such a pivotal figure in Steve's backstory, he's a pretty undefined figure in the comics. I assume Howard Stark is there to take over as Steve's Q after Erskine dies.

- The role of army colonel, whatever the era, fits Tommy Lee Jones like a glove.

	I love how this is a human story, one of us getting the chance to do something truly exceptional not just because of the strength of his body, but his will and character. Case in point: The grenade scene. Last edited 2011-06-24 04:51 pm UTC (Reply to this)

	No offence to the other actors who I really do like the look of in this (and I'm likely to be loving this movie), but Tommy Lee Jones is awesome x 100. He's on my short list of my all time favs :) (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I was toying with the idea of seeing Green Lantern until I read one one-line review. Then everything else that I read echoed that review. In contrast, I heard some mixed things about First Class and loved it to bits. I do hope that there's an extended recruitment montage on the DVD.

I really didnt want to get my hopes up for this film, my fear has, and to a certain point, is still, that they were going to use the basis for Ultimate Cap... but the more i see of this film, the more i think and feel that they truly are doing to Real/Original Captain America. ANd this makes me happy. it truly looks epic. Not just as a comic book movie, but a REAL good movie period.

I'm sure it's been done by someone somewhere but I'd love to read the What If where steve rogers never gets the super-soldier serum, and just like... works his ass off to get into the military and get through basic training and shit anyway and ends up going to war and doing a bunch of incredibly brave and heroic shit that wins us the war, anyway.

	I hope they have a cameo by a young Eric. In more than one Origin they've shown Cap liberating a Death Camp and one of the Detainees was a young Eric Magnus Lensherr, it would be cool if they showed that. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 14 comments) (Show 14 comments)
