@ssb1551 Well, the movie could have been true to book but when you make a movie you make for all, including persons who never knew Captain america existed.

For people like us the movie was boring. Had a good story but did not satisfy our expectation.

I already told what I expect from a superhero movie...I got that from Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Ironman (not much in part 2)

But movies like Thor, Watchmen and CA disappointed me.
Watchmen though surprised me as per acting and for an unforeseen complex plot. A brainfood for sure.

Thor had a good climax action and a good fight scene in the beginning, CA had nothing to boast of. I hope in real comics he had some worthy villain to fight. I guess CA will turn into a franchise and in next installments we would be treated with much more of his heroism and actions.

^^:lol: nice respite ico.

@ rhitwick & ethan_hunt - I've said before that these movies primary audience is an average American. Producers & Directors know that most of the americans are well aware of the story. And as sam9s had pointed out in an early post that Hollywood audience has evolved, they dun wanna watch only action & gfx but a good plot & in this case the plot as conceived by Jack Kirby.

1.) Steve was always the same person. He knew what was right for him and yet he decides to take up the frivolous activities that the senator wants him to do. Peggy later on asks him that if these were his only two option; being a lab rat or a dancing monkey. He is meant for more than that.

2.) It sort of contradicts the first point you mentioned. The fact that Barnes was in that unit, led him to invade that Hydra fort, felt like an excuse to go against a direct order. What if it wasn't Barnes and if some other unit was stuck out there? Would he not be willing to go save them?

All the superheroes need that push to be altruistic & follow a higher path. Peter Parker became Spiderman only 'cause Uncle Ben was killed. What did he do with his powers before that?. Tried to make money & don't gimme the sequences from the Spiderman movie 'cause its totally & completely wrong.What did Wally Bart do when he got his powers?.Nothing. Until and unless something/someone close to 'em gets hurt they didn't don the costume & started crime-fighting.

Watched 'That girl in yellow boots'...pathetic and meaningless movie...also the kind of role given to 'Kalki koechin' makes me wonder that whether the director even considers her as his wife...

Bol - Quite bold for a movie coming out of Pakistan. Production value is not as good as any average bollywood movie but the movie conveys its message very strongly and boldly. This one is as good as Khuda Ke Liye.

Please suggest some pathetic cinema halls in Delhi/NCR infested with disgusting chichora crowd. I want to go for Ra.One in one such place and watch it showering abuses of the most obnoxious degree and passing lewd comments of the most obscure nature...(a good nerve-relaxing exercise I guess....). Like-minded urchins may join in as long as they can live up to my abusive standards.

Loved the soundtrack of The Watchmen. But ya it lamed out like 75% into the script. The plot did weaken.

Lol...I had seen Sajan Chale Sasural with a similar mindset. And enjoyed it a lot. Also Subhash Ghai's Kisna.

Couldn't dare to watch Gunda in that situation though. Gunda demands ideal surroundings.

"Sajan Chale Sasural" is a good movie. Govinda was in peak during that time. And, its a pleasure to watch Govinda in movies like "Rajababu","Coolie no.1", "Hero No.1" etc.

Kung Fu Panda 2 was surprisingly good yeah. The 'inner peace' bit is in the first movie as well and the question of Po's origin had been ignored in that one. Using both of them to make a great sequel was an excellent job. But then I liked the first one better for some reason.

Just finished watching errr re-watching Herafter. I must say I found the character of 2 leads along with the kid & that of Bryce Dallas Howard more riveting & much deeper that the first watch. A very good movie.

The Son of No One. Found it very boring! Other than Pacino nothing was good! Weird acting by Milk.

Diary of June - A cross of Confessions and Se7en. Good watch. Could have been sensational had there been a brainfk ending. But the ending is just like any other detective movie. Worth a try.
