The teaser spot is online here:

I'd probably be excited about it if I wasn't so sure that it's going to be full of unnecessary slow mo/speed up camera work and CGI wankery.

The casting looks good, and it's cool to see Tommy Lee Jones pop up there. I like that they're going for the WWII look and seemingly keeping it true to his comic book roots.

This movie will be good because Dum Dum Dugan is in it.

And Bucky?

This is Bucky on the right there...




This is pretty rad...

The best part is when Jor-El tells him the truth.

That's a highlight in any film.

Red Skull does look pretty bitchin'. I dunno. I want to like this and the stills make it look like they actually got it right. So much of it is going to hinge on the effects and stunts I think. Is it just me or do massive CGI effects sequences take you out of the moment even more so when the movie is set in the past?

I made an involuntary squeaky excitement noise after watching the trailer (and those pics, Matt). I thought I'd been superhero'd to death over the last decade - guess not.

We were at a Superbowl party when I saw the ad and it made me start flinging pillows at little kids. True story.

CGI gets to me when it's highlighted by slo-mo or bizarre camera angles, e.g. the shot of Cap flying toward that chain or some of the fight scenes in the SPIDER-MAN films. If its thrown in naturally like in DISTRICT 9 I have no problem with it.

that Red Skull does look awesome. but so did Ghost Rider.

My money is on absoulte suckery.

I'm expecting more Spider-Man and less District 9 with this one. Though the director did use it reasonably well in The Wolfman.

Supposedly the new SPIDER-MAN reboot is going to rely less on CGI and more on real stunt and wire work...





More Cap caps...

That last Cap cap looks super sweet. That first Spider-Man image confuses me.

I like how "STUNTS" is stenciled on that mat. STUNTS ONLY!!

Yeah, you should definitely never consider crotching someone's face that intensely unless you are a trained professional stunts person.

The best part is when Blue Streak eats a peanut butter sandwich.
