Captain America (3 Viewers)

Never knew who built his suit, if that part is in the comics?

I don't believe it is. Howard Stark was said to have been affiliated with a bunch of different government projects in the comics, but, as far as I can remember, never Operation: Rebirth. I think they just added him here to create another link with Iron Man.

The Red Skull did try to assassinate him once, though.
 
The makeup effects on Red Skull are $$$

Agreed. I was worried we'd get another horrid realization like we got for Ben Grimm (Chiklis did a really nice job on the character, but the "rock-like" fat suit for the Thing was just ridiculously bad). The Red Skull looks excellent. I'm very psyched. Cap was one of the comics I wouldn't miss buying every month as a kid.
I wonder if the Falcon will show up somehow in the Avengers movie or in a possible Cap'n sequel...
 
For my Howling Commando fans...

I went to the midnight. Good, not great. Not on par with Iron Man 1 or The Hulk but better than Thor or Iron Man 2 as the Avengers prequels go. I enjoyed it. They stayed loyal to the source material and linked it in to the rest of the Marvel movie universe well.
 
Saw it last night. Loved it. Loved that they didn't try to make Cap modern, loved the pulpy aesthetic, loved that most of the movie is relatively free of shoehorned in continuity stuff, and the stuff that is there (Howard Stark, for example) makes sense.

Evans plays Cap totally earnest, as it should be. There is no attempt to make him cynical or "hardcore". Refreshing to see that. I think Weaving probably does the best comic-to-film Marvel villain yet with Red Skull, too.

I wish the Howling Commandos had been given some more screen time and development, but that's a small complaint. I don't know if it nailed things as successfully as Iron Man, but I feel it's the closest Marvel has come to replicating that success. And it does some things much better (villain, for one).
 
Loved it. It captured the 40's and that style of film completely, and it presented Cap exactly as he should be. The only thing it left me wanting more of was the adventures of Cap and the Howling Commandos shown during their montage, which I'm sure we'll be getting more of in flashbacks during sequels. It really couldn't have been much better for me. Special notice given to Alan Silvestri for the EXCELLENT score.
 
Watched Cap'n Murika and Harry Potter back to back last night. Marvel definitely outshone J.K. Rowling.

Score was really good. Big, brassy. Period appropriate and very representative of the character.

And that song Alan Menken did for the USO/Bond selling parts (Star Spangled Man) has been stuck in my head since I saw the movie.
 
We were going to see Horrible bosses while the girls went and seen Friends with Benifiets..
Well, Horrible bosses was sold out, so the only other movie playing in that time slot was Captain America.. I was never a big Super Hero fan, more of a moderate fan. Don't really like the 42 sequels they launch after the original, then the 5 reboots afterwards.lol..

But back to my original point.. I enjoyed it.. It was a good action flick..
I am glad they kept it in the original timeline, instead of modernizing it.
All I heard about this movie was ' he's not gonna be Captian America in this movie, he gonna be the First Avenger, its gonna be a UN type setting, like GI JOE, becuase of the liberal hollywood producers are anti amerian' and stuff like that..
well, I hope they see it and realize they are idiots..lol..
Maybe I missed it, but i don't think I ever saw a swatztika (sp? aint gonna google the spelling) at all in the movie.. Which I assume because it helps their oversees market, since I believe certain countries don't allow it...
Tommy Lee Jones helped this movie a lot... Just once in a movie, when a character's body mass grows greatly, I would like them to address that he will not have the same waist size...lol.
 
Thought it was really well done. And some of the best CGI yet (especially the pre-roided Captain)

SPOILER
---------

I really like the ending btw. They did a good job communicating the shock. I can't even imagine what that would have been like

There was a swastika, but just one. I can't remember if it was in a flashback or the newsreel scene. But everything else was the Hydra symbol. And yeah, it was mostly about keeping it viable for foreign markets, from what I read.
 
Looking around the interwebs for info on the lack of swastikas, I found an opinion piece railing against a lack of references to the U.S. Apparently it was made for Nazi loving America haters. Idiot.
