Looking forward to it!

Not as much as I'm looking forward to

[nilus]

Looking forward to them both.

Really stoked about a Joss Whedon directed Avengers movie though. Just keeping my fingers crossed that they don't screw this all up.

[dgraz]

Ever since Walt Simonson made the comic read like a Rocky movie I've loved Thor. I also can't wait.

And Cap has always been one of my favorites. Unfortunately he hasn't had very good showings in the movies.....here's hoping.

[LoboStele]

Woah, that looks awesome. I've been somewhat leery about how they're going to pull off Thor since he's the most non-human of the Avengers, IMO. Looking good though!

[quotemyname]

I am cautiously anticipating these two.

Idea: Great

Potential: High

Probability of Tanking-as-Hard-as-Superman-Returns: High

But if they pull it off... Man!

I don't know about the chance of it tanking... Marvel have got a pretty firm hold on these, and if Iron Man and The Hulk are anything to go by they should be fine.

The only way I can see them tanking is if Thor is too obscure for the mainstream cinema going public and if Captain America flops outside the US.... or possibly comic book movie fatgue.

Just so long as we get to see Buckey slitting sentry throats.

And drop kicking some Nazi's

~America, f*** yeah! Coming again to save the motherf***ing day, yeah. America. F*** yeah! Freedom is the only way, yeah!

I did like when Bucky took the Mantel of Cap. The bit where he threw the shield and then shot the guys in the knee cap while they watched it was epic.

[nerdelemental]

meh.

Thor should be left in the comic books, I think.

3D will put the nail in the coffin. Some things don't need to happen. Some added dazzle will just look gaudy. (3D in general can just go back where it came from for the most part).

Pass until reviews from friends come in.

I will admit I'm not the biggist comic reader, but I will say one thing

In brightest day,

In darkest knight,

The new Green lantern film looks mighty fine?

(I'm a bad poet)

Any other Superheros people want see in films

I wanna see Zatanna or Etrigan

I admit I haven't read any comic with them in, but several cartoons Zatanna and manny more with Etrigan and I love the pair of them (Zatanna also looks at lot Colette)

[Shinigami]

ooh i wanna see 'em both,

but what? 2D in select cinemas only? i dont like them 3D mumbo jumbo, didnt look good for me one time

maybe ill just erm "buy" the DVD...? *shifty eyes*

[Doctor Amos]

In loudest din or hush profound

I hear evil's slightest sound.

May all who toll out evil's knell

Beware my power; the F-Sharp Bell!

...I like Rot Lop Fan. I'm done now [:tomes]

(3D in general can just go back where it came from for the most part).

I am okay with 3-D at the movie theater if its done well. What I am tired of is all this 3-D at home crap. How come in a theater I can put on cheap plastic glasses and it works great but when I go home I need to buy a TV that costs thousand dollars more, plus glasses that are battery powered and cost 100 bucks for a pair and in the end have it look worse then at the movie theater.

Something is fishy there.

But honestly you can't say 3-D is a nail in any caskets since just about everything is coming out in 3-D now. And it can be done well(Avatar did look amazing, I saw How to Train your Dragon and Mega Mind in 3-D and they both were fun). Already got my tickets to go see Tron tomorrow in 3-D too

[Doctor Amos]

Avatar's 3D was really iffy. I get to watch embers and leaves float by, ohmygodholycr**. It worked fine enough without.

I did like Jackass 3D, though.

(Edit: Ding! Level up.)

[nilus]

Avatar's 3D was really iffy. I get to watch embers and leaves float by, ohmygodholycr**.

Actually I will contend that the best part of Avatars 3-D was the first 15 minutes of the movie. Once they got on that damn planet the movie took a sharp turn to sucksville in my opinion.

The reason is they work in different ways. 3-D at the cinema works with polarized light. If you know any Physics you will know that you have 2 images one with the light waves osculating horizontally, the other vertically. The glasses have a fine grill that only allows one type of light through. If you took the two lenses off and put them over each other no light would come through. If you rotated them 90 degrees you would be able to see stuff through them as the grills are now aligned.

TV 3-D flashes the 2 images one after the other. L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R etc. The glasses flicker between transparent and opaque so each eye sees only one type of frame. I think they use Crystals which go opaque when a current flows through them, much like a LCD.

A Cinema can use the first technique as all they do is project 2 separate images through 2 separate polarizing gels. A TV can't radiate polarized light so it has to use the second less effective method.

[nilus]

I actually knew all that. My point was that I got spend a lot more money for an inferior technique.

[mrhobbitino]

Too bad Jon Fareau is not Directing Iron Man 3.

or you could wait a year and let suckers weed out the bugs until they become good.

Personally I think Avatar looked great in 3D. Thought the actual movie was average (much as I expected). I wish inception had been 3D, I think the corridor scene would have kicked arse for the lord.

[Doctor Amos]

...kicked arse for the lord.

This. Yes.

I'd give you a cookie, but Hayze is really the sweets distributor.

[Absolution Black]

Not really that taken with either Thor or Captain America, but then I'm not a big Marvel fan....have always preferred the DC universe.

REALLY looking forward to the Green Lantern film!!

[Extinction Angel]

I wanna see Zatanna or Etrigan

*looks over shoulder for sneaky girlfriend*

I could watch Zatanna's legs all day. Etrigan on the other hand? I'm not sure if I could stand a full feature length film of his rhyming shenanigans.

There was a really great Batman/Etrigan cross over where some very nasty demons get awoken underneath Arkham asylum and Etrigan is in it, but not enough to make him that annoying (he's mostly in human form).

I'm gonna watch Thor and Cpt America, but I'm not going to expect either of them to be very good. Especially Thor. That way, if they manage to be even mediocre I'll be impressed.
