Pray to Stan Lee this one will be this best Marvel movie ever! I want to see Steve Rogers become Captain America!

Thor could've been just that! With more time to build Loki as a character, more chemistry between Jane and Thor, more Asgard, longer battle scenes, and show Thor actually becoming more humane! Done that it would've been way better Iron Man, possibly TDK

This movie is gonna be great.

It's a Catch 22. If they don't show a lot, we bitch, but if they show a lot, we bitch for different reasons. But it's what they always do: nothing, nothing, nothing, TOO MUCH. They need to find a balance.

I like their attitude toward character development. Such a tease when we get to hear all those people excited to see the trailer.

Comparing Craptain America to Raiders of the Lost Ark? Yeah, right. Indiana Jones fought against NAZIS.

I'm not worried about the screen writers or the cast, it's Joe Johnston, he has never made a movie that was better than passable in his life and the director always has the biggest stamp to put on a movie. Hopefully all the other ingredients can keep this from mediocrity.

Intruder: I'm well aware of who Hydra is. My point is that anyone wanting to compare this Cap film to Raiders of the Lost Ark should remember that Indiana Jones fought actual Nazis, not a fictional group of subordinates. So where are the Nazi flags in Cap? Hydra in the comics is a bit more secretive, not displaying banners with their logo all over. The comics also made it clear that Hydra was subordinate to the Nazis during the war, and became more of an entity keeping Hitler's agenda alive AFTER the war.

Puyguy: The Rocketeer WAS a very good movie. The reason it was so good was that Dave Stevens, the character's creator maintained a very active presence on the set to make sure that the story was done right, just as he wrote it.

True, it is kind of good that they havent shown too much yet.

Hopefully everything theyve shown us so far is just an iota of whats instore for the entire movie

so far the first trailer made me think the action scenes are going to be very bad. I mean really, flamethrowers in a diamond, why not just shoot the flames directly at him.

not so sure Rocketeer was a good movie, Rocketeer fans, but more power to ya!

This directors credentials make me very nervous. Hope he learned from his mistakes and creates a masterpiece!
