Will that scene be at the end? The Beginning? Will the movie be a flashback told by modern day Captain America? Can I be anymore excited about this movie?
November 6th, 2012: Americas new Independence Day.
I'm not watching it. Since we're this close, I'm going to avoid any more trailers so I can procrastinate seeing it in the theater until I'm forced to watch it as a rental or download (ala' Thor, First Class, GL, etc.)

Saw it at the midnight showing.The movie was fun & more entertaining than most of the other movies this year.Everything about this met and surpassed my expectations.All the acting was solid.Tommy Lee Jones had some of the best lines in the movie while Chris Evans' portrayal of Steve Rogers/Cap was spot-on.Hugo Weaving's Red Skull was an enjoyable scene-chewing villain and Haylee Atwell's Peggy Carter was smoking hot.Lot of easter eggs esp. in the beginning of the movie after it starts up in the 40's.
I would definitely see this one again.I don't think it will place #1 this week though with only the second week of Harry Potter out,but it could show some legs as the dog days of summer kick in and after next week's Cowboys and Aliens and the Rise of the Planet of the Apes the week after are it's only real competition.

I was surprised how well Evans did in the role. Really liked this movie and it sets up the Avengers nicely too.

Just saw it. It was fucking awesome. Can't think of anything negative to say about it. Everyone did very well. Wondering if they're setting up some Bucky-Winter Soldier bit for later movies.

I was going to see it today but, of my local theater's eight showings, only two of them (1:00 pm and 7:00 pm) weren't 3D. I'm planning on going tomorrow.
I'm little surprised at how, at least locally, they're pushing the 3D version over the 2D. Usually the showings are closer to 50/50 when it comes to the two formats.

How I am supposed to stay up that late? I might not get home until 10 PM! That's when all the scary kids are out!

I loved C.A. and was griping about having to get up early on a Saturday for a showing. It had a sweet, patriotic story intermingled with romance, duty, and a love of the military.
Now I want to review Thor to find out how it and the other Avenger movies intertwine. Definitely worth seeing as a date, by yourself, or with your friends!
It was great. The choice of Johnston and going with a retro "Rocketeer meets Raiders" vibe was the right one. There wasn't a bad cast member in the bunch. Some great Easter eggs, including Bucky as a potential winter soldier, the original Human Torch cameo, and the Red Skull's Ark of the Covenant reference. Hope they can figure out a way to get Johnston to do another one set in WW2.
Saw it, loved it. Evans nailed the role perfectly. Tommy Lee Jones stole every scene he was in.
My only complaint is about the end. It felt rushed. One of my favorite comics is The Ultimates #3 when Steve Rogers adjusts to modern times. I was hoping for something more like that but I doubt it will ever happen now with the Avengers movie coming out next year.
The Winter Soldier story needs to happen and it would make a great TV series. There's no reason for everything to be a movie.

Based on the Avengers teaser trailer after the credits, and the dialogue between Steve and Fury therein, I think Cap adjusting to the modern world will, in fact, be a plot point that movie.
Great fucking swerve on a cliche. Loved it. I wish they wouldn't have had his whole WWII adventure in one movie, but I understand the need for the Avengers setup. I like the way they gave Cap a moral code but also showed that he was a soldier in a war with a fucking gun. Comedy in the right places and an inventive final fight scene.

The more I think about this movie the more I love it. I might even go see it in 3D next weekend.
I've been reading up on it and it looks like they filmed the scenes I wanted to see. Scenes like Captain America in the present meeting up with Agent Carter and dancing, Agent Paulson giving Captain his shield and other stuff like that. I don't know if it will be in the Blu-Ray release or the Avengers movie but I want to see it either way.

evans was good. he was everything ryan reynolds was not.
the chick was potentially the best of the "im the girl in the superhero movies."
tommy lee jones was awesome. he was to cap'n america what j.jonah was to the spidey trilogy.
the cap'n suit, and various explanations (justifications) behind it
the whole retro 1940s, art deco mood; from the world's fair to the war's end.
the not-plusses:
red skull. he was somehow every bit as ridiculous in the movie as i think he is in comics, except somehow moreso. i don't particularly have any issue with hugo, who i thought did quite well, at least while "skinned." but once the skullator face came out, it was all unnecessarily bright red poo. right down to the skullmobile.
the i'm not sures:
the fight scenes. now, generally speaking, i think the film did a great job of balancing "fun, comic book adventure" and "no, wait - i'm a movie!" and, really, much of the fight scenes were fun. but there were a few too many over the top, spider-man turn-out-the-dark type moments, where cap was punching guys over canyons and sneezing them into outer space. maybe that was intentional, to stay "truer" to the comic booky fun of it, and/or appeal to a younger audience. i just thought any scene proudly featuring a wire placing a villain inorganically on the other side of a tank after cap kicked them crossed over the film's otherwise solid middle-of-the-line tone.
Seriously?? The man is allowed out of the house! I am not holding the boy hostage. He did ask me to go with him knowing this would be "my kind of movie" and he was right!
It was the first thing they noticed they have in common.

You misunderstood me.I was not implying you held him hostage......I just didn't think you would unleash him upon society.
