Directed by Joe Johnston (who hasn't really proved himself so far having done some rather bad films like HIDALGO, THE WOLFMAN and JUMANJI) the film stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers aka Captain America (Chris has signed to appear as Captain America in six different movies including THE AVENGERS),
Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy’s earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment - Operation: Rebirth. After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the "Super Soldier Serum" and bombarded by "vita-rays". Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program.
Flat.. Nothing is interesting from this trailer. I prefer 'Super 8' one.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you, Jaccsy :( Now it's clear why the studio had postponed the release of the trailer earlier - this is just not exciting at all :(
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I think it looks pretty exciting. But then, I'm easily wooed by things that go boom. :)
ReplyDeleteI think super 8 has me hooked on this one...this movie...I'd rather wait to see it on cable ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Chris looks hot, but this movie looks meh to me. It has an outstanding cast, though, so who knows.
ReplyDeleteCool! What do I think? I think it works!
ReplyDeletei'm not sure... i'm kinda getting super-heroed out.
ReplyDeleteThe Super 8 trailer was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI could use some of that "super soldier serum". Not to be a soldier, but just to be a bit more super than I am now.

This wouldn't make me want to see the flick. Really boring.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing of Captain America saga but if he's so perfect why does he need a cumbersome shield?
I'm so excited for this movie, I think its going to be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI just did a mini post about this a few mins ago :) I think it will end up interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was a bit disappointing but I will not let that deter me.
ReplyDeletewow! Thanks for that, Dezzy! I didn't know the story of Captain America. I feel so informed now... :D And I like the colors of the movie--I know some people don't go for that, but I think it looks nice, esp. w/that time setting~ :o) <3
ReplyDeleteSaw the new trailer last night - I thought it looked great!
ReplyDelete@Emily

@Thundercat

@Clarissa
glad you like it, Claris'
@Vics
ReplyDeleteI agree with you :(
@Matty

ReplyDelete@Lyndy
ReplyDeletehe he ... :) breathe, sister, breathe .. :)
@MPax
it is :)
@AssortedNews
it could be!
a very tiny peek, like you and many have said,a bit of a flat trailer hopefully a better one will be released soon
ReplyDeleteJoe Johnston did The Rocketeer, which was about a hero (though he has no superpowers) set in the Nazi era. I like that one so I have hope for this. But among the other superhero flicks out this year, Cap. America isn't on my top must-see list. I still might see it in theater though, after all Richard Armitage is in this :D
ReplyDelete@Dempsey
ReplyDeleteyep, Dempsey, we shall have to wait for a longer trailer to see what's the real deal!
@Flixy
I remember that you wrote about THE ROCKETEER at your place :) And I see the girls are already excited about Dicky being in this film :)
Trailer looks good enough to me. I didn't expect much, but at least this film has a different setting (World War 2).
ReplyDeleteI'll still have a hard time to believe in that character. Some character origins and designs are so flawed or outdated that no amount of modernisation could make then believable.
'tis not a trailer it's only a short TV spot, which is why I'm still optimistic that the real long trailer might give us something more ... although they did cancel it before because it wasn't good enough .. so I'm not sure if my optimism is based on reality :)
ReplyDeleteFunny that I was more excited about the villain in The Rocketeer (Timothy Dalton) and the same with this movie. I hope RA gets a decent amount of screen time. Oh and I love Hugo Weaving too!
ReplyDeleteWhile the trailer isn't all that awesome, perhaps they are trying not to show us all the good stuff (which sometimes seems to happen with action movies). We can only hope so.
ReplyDeleteit's possible, Eric, it's possible, although it's a risky business :)
ReplyDeleteThank You Dezmond! I can't wait for this movie! When I was watched Fantastic 4 Chris Evans was really funny there. I have to say that he has something more than only buffed body. Can't wait for Heinz Kruger too ;)
ReplyDeletehe does, Jonia, he has a magnetic charisma and seductive sense of humor :)
