But they learned from watching Batman vs. The Terminator that people get pissed if there's no reason for nipples on a suit. Sooooooooo....

They made NIPPLES that are actually MISSILES! It's just like Venus from Mazinger Z (Tranzor Z in the US).

Tony will yell out "Go, go, GADGET TITTY MISSILES!", and they'll launch going peeeeeeeeeewwwwwwrrrrr all the way until they hit their mark. Not only are these TITTY MISSILES, but they're HEAT SEEKING TITTY MISSILES!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck. Yes. Favreau is a GOD! Right after Lemmy.

Where are the sci-fi concepts in the FF movies? Where is the political aspect in X-Men? Where are the courtroom drama and the reflexion about Justice in DareDevil?

Iron Man needs to rely heavily on superior tech and espionage, 2 major points they scrapped so far in the teasers in favor of lame jokes. That's why I'm eagerly anticipating the real trailer. If the take the funny route again I'd be really pissed.

Johnny Kool: In this movie, there's only one absolute... everything sucks!

Please AICN, stop dancing on the hype-machine tune... It's a nice shot, nothing more. Can't you keep creaming your undies, at least until the spot airs comes sunday?

You expecting to run into much gunfire in these caves?

"all I want's my 50K, alright?"

I mean, jeez, they're already rebooting Hulk. Tell me that doesn't reek of desperation from Marvel.

But, yet, still no Cap movie...probably a good thing.

I remember for years and years, hoping somebody (Cameron) was going to do the Spiderman movie. It seemed like it was never going to happen.

And, seeing what superhero movies we did get in the late-80's (Punisher, Captain America, FF - or was that very early 90's?), it's probably good that they didn't try to make many others.

But what happened is that those of us who wantd to see those films that we never got finally grew up, got disposable income, and even relatively influentially placed jobs in the entertainment world. And the movies we wanted to see growing up started getting written, produced, and increasingly popular.

I don't begrudge how far we've come or even where we're at right now, but I do think we're reaping what we sowed. We just didn't know guys like Ratner or Singer, or whoever you pick were going to come along and make it all so polarizing.

If I remember correctly, the teaser poster for the movie was great, with just Cap's iconic sheild on a simple black background.

But I hate to be a downer. So, I'll spin it by saying, it's cool that people are at least TRYING to make good movies (most of the time), even if the ones financing them are really just doing it for the money. I'll still take all the Catwomen, FF's, Ghost Riders, and Daredevils (ok, I could really do without Catwoman) along with the recent Batmans, Spidermans, Hellboys, and the upcoming Watchmen flick over having almost none of it at all.

On a side note, I think the only thing that differentiates the old DTV Fantastic Four flop from the recent ones is that the special effect work is alot better now.

And that Jessica Alba is teh hotness.

I think the thing with superhero movies is, in the 80s they seemed to grow up a bit and develop mature, 'adult' storylines. Which was great. But when your story is too convuluted or 'mature,' you alienate kids and lose bucks.

And I'm going to be there with my 3 gallon tub of pepsi and a small convertable full of popcorn, and I'm just gonna sit back and watch all of you guys talk about how horrible it is, how poorly directed it is, and how Favereaux should never be near a camera again unless its his autopsy.

I am going to enjoy that greatly.

I confess to not seeing the new TMNT movie that came out last spring, but from what I saw in the trailers, I wasn't terribly impressed. At least, not enough to pay for it.

I doubt we'll see all thirty version in the movie. I hope we don't, anyway. Some of Iron Man's armors were UGLY. That white and red West Coast Avengers one was terrible! The classic one that had the NOSE on it was pretty fugly, too.

Oh well, at least he doesn't remember who Spider-Man is, now.

Here's an interview of the two so-called Children of FUCKIN MEN "writers" who penned the movie. Once again their claims are a bit frightening: http://tinyurl.com/3bn5ej

cannot

wait.

That's a mixed bag to me. I loved some parts (the shot of Downey brooding alone in his lab in the international teaser was dead on) but the blending of classic iconic stuff to lure in the fans and unnecessary humor reeks of demagogy and marketing strategy more than coherent filmmaking. Of course they need to market it wisely to cover their $200 million budget but then it raises another question: why give 200 fucking millions to an amateur like Favreau in the first place? The guy has no action credit and his previous films are seriously lacking both depth and visual flair. From what I read so far I understand HE is the one who was lobbying for a light-hearted flick, and forced his brand of humor into it after failing to develop a comedic version of Captain America. Is this a good sign?

I'm not saying they're bad writers, what I'm saying is that the way their work has been presented to us so far is completely dishonest. Not to say fishy.
