Man, it has been far too long since I last checked in on this forum... But I'm back. Haha.
Alright, here is a fresh poster and a new image (Red Skull):

Hitler clearly isn't a fan of the casting in this movie.

By the way, the Howling Commandos are easily the best part, especially Neal McDonough playing Dum Dum Dugan with those iconic Josip Jellacic mustaches and that totally wild Sir Oliver energy. 😬
I really hope the story takes place after WWII. Having such a diverse military unit back then would be a total historical stretch, even for a superhero movie.

Is that Red Skull driving a Beetle or what the hell?

Chris Evans actually kicked things off yesterday by opening the trading floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
On top of that, there’s this super addictive Captain game available over on that British movie site. 😁

I’m interested in the movie, but this looks like total trash. It's a good thing he isn't reading fairy tales to kids in an oncology ward at some hospital in the ghetto.🙄
Whatever. Hype is hype, no matter how cheesy it looks.

Lately, they've been forcing these heroes down our throats, and most of them turn out to be total garbage. Is this just how it is now? Are we stuck being deprived of good movies? Although, I guess this one might actually be decent.

Check this out—here is what Johann Schmidt (aka Red Skull) looks like in First Vengeance, which serves as the comic book precursor to the film.

Here is the breakdown of the opening scene.
The footage begins with the title card 'Norway' May 1942—we see a group of aging men trapped within a fortress-like stone interior.
The structure is shuddering; dust and debris are raining down from above.
As the wall collapses inward, SS soldiers storm the room to inspect a central crypt.
And then Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving before he became Red Skull) makes his entrance through the massive breach in the wall.
He demands "The Tesseract" from the lone survivor. The old man insists that whatever they're hunting is nothing more than a myth.
Schmidt retorts, “then why go through so much work to conceal it?” They pry open the crypt, revealing the remains of a crusader clutching a glowing, misty white cube.
Schmidt grabs it, remarking, “The Tesseract was the prize of Odin.”
But he isn't buying it—not even close. He slams the object onto the floor, shattering it completely.
Clearly, this wasn't the prize.
His focus shifts to the wall, where a large carving of Yggdrasil, the Norse Tree of Life, is etched into the stone.
There, he discovers a concealed compartment.
He yanks it free and cracks it open.
A brilliant blue light illuminates his face. Schmidt says to the Fuhrer, “You haven’t seen this yet, have you?”
Hitler replies, “It’s not for the eyes of ordinary men.”
Schmidt simply answers, “exactly.”

Honestly, the whole 3D thing just gets on my nerves. Either they charge me extra, the glasses are uncomfortable as hell, or I don't even feel like the movie looks any better. It's such a hassle. 😁

I suppose it really depends on the specific film, as some manage to pull off 3D quite well, though generally speaking, you probably have a point.

I have yet to see a single film with decent 3D. Right now, paying for the 3D experience is just throwing money down the drain.

I find myself in complete agreement regarding the whole 3D situation. Honestly, I went to see Tron at the beginning of the year, and if you ask me, the only part that actually felt like legitimate 3D was that Pirates of the Caribbean teaser they played right before the movie started. It’s like when you buy a premium steak but they only give you a side of wilted lettuce—you expect the full experience, you know? But no, just a little taste here and there. 🤣
In the meantime, I suspect the entire USA is about to be absolutely flooded with frisbees and Captain America merchandise! 🤣
So far, my impression of the film seems perfectly fine—honestly, it looks just like all the others following this same predictable pattern.
