Full-length trailer is out. We'll see: this is a hard character to do right, given the Capra-cornesque nature of his personality, which is even a problem in the comics--once he can't punch Hitler in the face, Cap mostly works as a character only when he's a straight-man foil to some more classic Marvel-style neurotic hero. But in this case, well, there's still Hitler to punch and it looks like they've maybe got the "Nazis-with-superweapons" vibe going on pretty well. I like the look of it, at any rate. I wonder if any version of Bucky is in the film. EDIT: Two little things I just noticed: "Mr. Stark" (Tony Stark's father) and the quick touch to the new man-tits from the love interest.

Bucky is in the film, he's Steve's best friend, and is a deady little sniper. This kinda irked me at first, then I realized I didn't care too much about the character anyway and was just reflexively being nerd-ragey.

Moderately intrigued, it has that same look that Iron Man has; with a little more corn.

The new Bucky in the comics was more of a badass (and became a Russian killer after the war - brainwashing! before becoming the new Captain America). Also, this is more of the Ultimates version of Capt. America, who kills motherfuckers. The Ultimates Cap got the Hulk to fight against an alien invasion by telling him the aliens had said the Hulk was gay.

Reading that article about color correction has ruined me for life. I watched that trailer and all I could think was "Orange. Teal. Teal on orange. Orange on teal. HOLY SHIT SOME GREEN! Okay, back to teal. Orange. Orange on teal..."

I may be a bit off on my marvel timeline / characters, but during the scene where Cap and his team come through the doors shooting, the guy with the shotgun on Caps left looked quite a lot like Dum Dum Dougan?

The trailer's definitely got me more interested in the movie, so hey, I guess it's doing it's job. Two things I noticed in it that I'm glad to see are weird Nazi super science weapons/devices and Cap actually, you know, shooting people in a war.
Edit: And yeah, that definitely looked like Dum Dum Dougan. So looks like we'll also be seeing the Howling Commandos.

Yeah, that's definitely the Howling Commandos--I take that to be Nick Fury on the other side. Which makes Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury rather interesting. (The new cartoon version of the Avengers has the African-American Nick Fury being the son of the WWII Nick Fury rather than being one of the nearly infinite numbers of people to have survived WWII without aging in the interim.)

That is definitely Dum Dum Dugan with the shotgun and the moustache. I'm hoping that the white guy on the other side is Nick Fury and that they explain the Sam Jackson Nick Fury as being either a clone of Fury or a Life Model Decoy (which is how they've explained Nick Fury living so long yet still being an asskicker).
The trailer was goddamn awesome, orange teal orange or not.

I'm a little concerned they are going to avoid all actual nazi imagery in the movie to play to wider audiences. To me, it just adds to the feeling that this is really WWII and not just random past-facist supervillains.

In fairness Hydra was founded by Nazis. Also I thought the Nick Fury thing was explained by him having some knock off super soldier serum that slowed ageing? The Bucky thing, present continuity explains the willingness to have a teenage kid around in what were effectively super special forces missions as Bucky being very talented at sneaky-sneaky and silent killing. As well as the Soviet super-spy brainwashing hilarity.
The movie looks interesting, only worry from the trailer is that it ends up being a generic action film rather than a Captain America film but 1) It's a trailer, all trailers look generic and 2) They've shown an ability to make good action films. I'll hold out hope.

In the mainstream Marvel continuity, the survival and continued vigor of the Howling Commandoes is a result of all of them having consumed some kind of anti-aging formula. I'm guessing that this film is going to try and stay away from continuity of that kind.

Great looking stuff! Looks like they are squeezing in various Marvel tidbits. That's great. Now I want to know how Tony Stark got Cap's shield and will that be a plot point in the Avenger's movie?
I am really pulling for Marvel to pull off this Avengers movie chain.

I'm pretty certain the shield in IM2 was just an easter egg and has no relevance to any kind of movie continuity. |

I dont know, given the reaction from the Special Agent when he saw it, I would be inclined to disagree. As to how he got it, probably through his father some how. Given the way it looked (incomplete) it might have been a prototype? |

But then the trailer for Thor doesnt seem to have anything to do with that at all. Marketing/easter eggs? |

Both the Thor trailers reference the hammer in the crater, the New Mexico desert and Agent Coulson. The opening of both trailers (particularly the first http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOddp-nlNvQ, some of the second http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHBnrJowBZE )features the (presumably same) crater shown in IM2. All the real world action takes place in a town in the middle of the desert. |

I'm guessing it's something like Stark Snr. being an engineer involved with the project, probably a brief cameo that may or may not get referenced in the Avengers movie. Total guess though.

The "Thor's Hammer in the Desert" easter egg after the credits on Iron Man 2 isnt really an easter egg. It's part of the Avengers Movie marketing campaign. Much the same way that the SLJ Nick Fury cameo at the end of Iron Man 1 when he makes the offer to Stark to join his new club, or the appearance of Stark at the end of the latest Hulk Movie makeing some kind of offer to the General are all franchise tie-ins more then they are Cameos. Also, didn't someone mention in the Iron Man 2 thread that the directors confirmed that the guy in the french prison getting his mug shot taken as Stark walks by to go see Anton is supposed to be Thor? |

I got free movie passes to see a preview of this tonight. The person I'm taking with me is more excited than I am, which is surprising since she doesn't seem the type that likes super hero movies. I'll give my impressions of the movie after I come home.

Maybe she's just got a crush on what's-his-name and is all jazzed about seeing him run around in tight shirt & pants/ topless.

What an odd turn of a phrase. Why wouldn't you just say date/wife/girlfriend/whatever? Or are you just going to kidnap someone and take them to Captain America? |

You call it an accident. I call it justice.

Buddy of mine, who is quite the movie buff and a callous cynic in his own right, went to a midnight showing of the digital 3d version of this movie. His reviews are usually quite spot on with my own reactions to a movie, so when he posted he saw it and his first word was "AWESOME," well I will take him at his word.
