Which Superhero film are you most looking forward to?
Juan Bernardo Gonzalez Ramirez
have Green Lantern, Thor, Captain America, and X-Men First Class coming
out. Now which one is everyone most looking forward to? I gotta go with
Captain America just because this was my hero ever since childhood and
I've waited a long time for this movie to be done right. Thor is gonna
be awesome just because....well its about Thor and it has Anthony
Hopkins playing Odin, what more do you need?! However Green Lantern
holds a tie with Thor for my second place because I like Ryan Reynolds
and think he is gonna do a great job plus this is the first film done
about a main DC Comics character thats not Superman or Batman. So thats
gonna be cool. X-Men First Class does look good, I'm just not a big fan
of the X-Men so I'm not in that big of a rush for this one. What about
everyone else?
grinningdemon
I don't have particularly high hopes for any of these but, if I have
to choose, I'd say Captain America...I love period epics so the WWII
setting sounds good to me...I'll see GL but I hate Hal Jordan so
that's a big hole for it to climb out of...Thor sounds dreadful...and
X-Men First Class, from everything I've heard, will be awful...and
won't actually include any of the real X-Men First Class...I love the
X-Men but have been less than impressed with the movies...I hate that
they have all centered around Wolverine rather than truly being an
ensemble as it should be...this one will be Wolverine-free but seems
to focus mainly on a rather bizarre cast of C-list characters and
Prof. X (a necessary character for the genesis of the X-Men but still
one that I have always found exceedingly boring and wish had been
killed off years ago)...the only addition I am looking forward to
seeing is January Jones in her hopefully skimpy Emma Frost outfit.

In order:
- Thor
- X-Men: First Class (the trailer impressed me and has me thinking that
if I can overlook the dartboard that was used to determine the team it
might be a good actioner)
- Green Lantern
- Captain America
Cap and GL are almost neck and neck, but Cap's trailer didn't look all
that great and I find it hard getting past the "Cap's part of the USO
show to rationalize his costume" business.

Green Lantern. It will probably be awful but this is such a brave
project that I will watch it anyway!
Thor should be done as an animation. I still have horrid memories of
the one which fought Lou Ferrigno's Hulk!
Captain America will be the easiest to film and will probably be the
best acted since he is just a man.
I am worried that X-Men films will become more and more lazily filmed.

Probably will see most of them in years to come. Read grinningdemon's
comments on X-Men and I must concur with that.
The most interesting one might be one not mentioned here: The Avengers!
I wonder if they will ever do a live action Legion of Superheroes movie. I'd
love to see 'The Great Darkness Saga'. :-)

trailers have looked good.
I could be wrong, but it looks like with this last trailer they
released they've added some layers and more color to the CGI Asgard
and whatnot.
Maybe if they ever reboot the X-Men, they would try the actual
original lineup from the comics as a "first class".
But since Wolverine wouldn't be included, probably not.
It really bugs me that Johnny Storm is playing Cap. I know it's
silly, but every time I see Chris Evans on the screen, I think "Oh,
that's the Torch".
I didn't expect it to bother me, but so far it has. Maybe once the
film starts and I get pulled in to the story, that will go away.

I like Hal, but he is quite bland. I think this one is going to fail
like Fantastic Four... ho-hum set up and a big boring battle at the
end.

I had that problem from the get go. Plus he has been in 5 comic book
properties as of now, and they either failed at the BO, or failed as
movies, or both.
I would have a similar problem if Jennifer Garner played Emma Frost.
And I had a totally similar problem when Halle Berry played Catwoman,
even if she was CINO. Honestly though, how can one read a script, see
the detail "Heroine ground surfs on the back of a thug" and not think
that sounds like a terrible film?

Well, Wolverine isn't in this "First Class" movie so they are willing
to make one without him...I'd love to see a true "First Class"
flick...maybe based on the Children of the Atom mini from a few years

The original Human Torch was indeed an android and was indeed around
in the Golden Age...Toro was his sidekick.

I would expect that the Captain America movie would probably be a

It had been THOR given how they've seemed to have found a way to present
Asgard and Midgard to coexist--and create an interesting version of Asgard.
That's been bumped aside by X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. It has created an intriguing
60s period look and a serious theme that resonates from the issues that made
the 60s Marvel comics so popular with young adults.

The comic book continuity messes them up. If Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast,
Angel and Iceman were in their teens in the 1960s then they would have to be
in their 50s in the 2000s.
The movie continuity messes them up further still as they depicted Angel
never being part of the X-Men and only showing up in the 3rd movie.

Xavier's level of telepathy is uber-powerful and is constantly nerfed in the
comics and movies to give villains a fighting chance (much like Barry
Allen's level of superspeed).

Plus in the X-Menverse, Xavier (like Barbara Gordon) have been
wheelchair-bound despite having access to technology that could enable him
to walk with an exosuit. There are actual real life exosuits that are close
to mimicking the size and range of (walking) motion of Iron-Man's bulkier
suits.
However by editorial fiat to keep him off the field teams (and thus allowing
villains a fighting chance--as opposed to simply writing he's better at
strategy away from the field instead of tactically on the field), he remains
wheelchair-bound. Whenever he's been freed of the wheelchair, he's typically
been kicked out of the comic book series.

I'd say none of the above. Batman III will be good but it won't come out
for couple more years.
GL could be good but looks too light-hearted. Thor has a lame leading
actor. (No Donald Blake joke here.) Captain America played by former Human
Torch? X-Men First Class directed by the guy that bailed on the franchise
to begin with?
plausible prose man
Not reality, exactly, but likely the movie would suffer from having
two many out-right superheroes; especially if one of them is a man on
fire like that. You know, something like that, you have to spend a lot
of time introducing and explaining, and the whole origin thing is
usually the weakest part of a comic book movie.

There's only so much reality Captain America can really take,
especially as associated with WWII as he is.

It was not until Claremont, Cockrum and Byrne came on board that it
reached iconic status. Still, from looking at the shots of the film,
I certainly believe that while set in the 60's, or at least having a
very strong 60s influence, the film references more of the Byrne/
Claremont or Claremont/ Cockrum era than the earlier Kirby/ Lee books.
Stan and Jack had a vivid imagination, but X-men's early issues just
did not seem to work, in my eyes. IT seems like the thought of
someone being born with powers was the most Lee and Kirby could
contribute, they did not really execute the whole idea of racism,
hatred etc very well. When Byrne and Cockrum, among others, came on
board, they took far greater inspiration from the whole race riots,
and Malcolm X vs Martin Luther King.
Stan Lee and Kirby's execution of X-men was really dissappointing,
especially when looking at how well they executed the whole angst of
Spider-man/ Peter Parker.

Considering the time it takes to make a movie, possibly the buzz of the 60s
setting MAD MEN was an extra bonus, plus a surface skimming of X-Men history
would reveal its origins in the 1960s.
Extra bonus, you have JFK, the space race, the Cold War, James Bond,
hippies, Rock before it went mainstream, R&B before it was marginalized by
rap and of course, the some foursome musical act from across the Pond.

I think it'll be okay. In the preview, I didn't make that connection
at first. The actor is older now. He seems to be a talented actor,
though he's impressed me mainly for his humorous chops so far. There's
a bit in I think it was "Not Another Teen Movie" that must be about
ten years old by now in which he parodies Aerosmith song Janie's Got a
Gun, and he really throws himself into it. So mainly humorous that
I've seen thus far but talent like that transfers over, at least
potentially. The preview makes me think he can pull it off.
Sometimes it is just good to get the best actor, even if there's some
detail that's off. Of course I was wrong about this with Wolverine as
portrayed by Hugh Jackman. Although in the comics Wolverine is a short
character, and at one point early on I think his shortness was written
as contributing to his scrappiness as an expression of proving
himself, the movies went with Hugh Jackman who must be well over six
feet tall. I thought at the first X-Men movie "well, at least they got
a good actor" but in the later movies I really don't think Jackman did
a good job. I wish they would have found a good short Wolverine. Not
every hero has to be six-feet-plus.

PS: although in the case of Captain America, you *are* supposed to
have a character that is tall.

I agree with you: Captain America. The preview looked really good.
They seem to be trying to be faithful to the source material.
Thor, not as much. They are eliminating his alter ego?! The preview
didn't look that good IMHO. However the movie could possibly be good.
Not counting on many "yea, verilies," but I'll be happy if he roars "I
say thee nay!" at least once.
It'll be interesting to see how they illustrate Green Lantern's
powers. That type of effect hasn't been done that I'm aware of.

In Order:
Thor
Trailer looked great. Saw some people here bashing Chris Helmsworth.
Has he really been in enough stuff to say he's a bad actor? He was ok
in the Star Trek reboot.
Capt. America
Hardest of these movies to do right. Trailer looked awful/boring.
Afraid that WWII will include zero Nazis and that it will be a war
against Hydra. Don't mind Chris Evans as Cap.
GL
Would rather watch a Flash movie but, GL could be great. Don't mind
seeing a light-hearted superhero flick. Glad it doesn't involve Seth
Rogen or Jack Black.
X-Men 1st Class
Yawn: The mutant struggle. Anyone know what the storyline will be? Who
is the villain?

Yeah, but then you'd have to animate him in the Avengers movie and

It also seems that, costume-wise, he's maybe more modeled afer the

Not 'ever', only the ones I'm really aware of.
And of the movies that I'm aware of being made (or are 'about to be made')
'The Avengers' seems to be the most interesting one. To me at least.
Because, mostly, of the name connected to it: Joss Whedon.
In the list you gave, only 'The Dark Knight Rises', 'The Amazing Spiderman'
and 'Red Sonja' ring a bell in the sense that I heard that they were being
made. I may have heard of some of the others, but probably forgot about
them.
Are they really doing a reboot of the Fantastic Four movie franchise? Again?
>
>> The question was 'Which Superhero *film* are you looking forward to

I gave mine already.
But if you mean only the ones listed by the OP, then my choice would be:
Green Lantern.
Amazingly enough, being mostly a Marvelite I should have said 'X-Men: First
Class', but the way the earlier movies went....
Below that, and therefore not 'the one film' would be Thor.

I would *love* to see a well-made (and well-written) flick/series that
featured characters ala Buzzsaw Girl, Spiral, Demona (from Gargoyles) and
Jenny (from My Life as a Teenage Robot) 'living their lives' and wasn't
afraid to embrace its twisted silliness. ^_^
Part of the appeal of shows like Freakazoid, Toonsylvania, Ruby Gloom and
(Growing up) Creepie is that they 'explore new avenues' - Toonsylvania,
in particular, was a series that managed to blend elements of the horror
genre with unabashed cartoon silliness and, despite a few missed
opportunities, this worked in its favor. Even the latter two examples
with their cute character designs and clever writing are proving
themselves to be more than just 'kid stuff'. ^_^
To drink in the surrealistic beauty of the human imagination (preferably
with out Stripperella's cornball nonsense) would be dream come true.
Still, one viewer's dream would be another viewer's nightmare. 9_9
Feel free to mention if such a film/series has already been made.
And thank you for reading.

Joss had made some good stuff and a lot of dross.
He wants to do a Superhero film too much.
He wanted to Wonder Woman but didn't like the TV series or the
comics? What? He was just wanted to do a comic film and didn't care
which. His "superpowered chicks" rep got him a foot in the door for
WW and he went with that.
He wrote a spec script for Batman about a serial killer. A serial
killer? An episode of a TV series or a comic book, but a big screen
film? Really? He just doesn't get it.
He wrote what is considered the worse line in The X-Men.
He does write light hearted team dynamics well. So the light moments
in The Avengers will be good. The rest... time will tell.

Maybe.
The Dark Knight Rises
Hate the name, don't know the comic book story they're using well
enough to comment. I don't like that they're talking third and final.
Superman 1
Once again "dark" is being thrown around too much.
Iron Man 3
Interesting that they're also talking of it as the end of a trilogy
trying to tie the previous villains together.
The Amazing Spider-man
Didn't like 3 but didn't think it needed a reboot. I don't like that
we only ever get beginnings with these things. That's why I figured
Superman Returns continuing the old series was a good idea badly
executed.
Antman
Like the director but the "Old Antman/New Antman" thing doesn't make
much sense to me.
Black Cat
Hot chick in leather spin-off. They *always* work.
Fury
SLJ's been good in cameos. A SHIELD film... may work... dunno
Hellboy 3
Not enough info yet.
Fantastic 4 1
The reboot is a good idea, but too soon to consider one, IMHO.
Wolverine 2
I'm a little over Wolverine films.
Preacher
Never going to get the money to make it right. It will either need to
me toned down or made cheap.
Jumper 2
The end of Jumper just threw ideas at the screen that it didn't follow
through on, requiring a sequel... but doesn't mean I'm willing to
watch one. The director talking about the GF getting powers and
jumping to other planets doesn't excite me.
Xerses
Seems like a weird idea.
Samson
Think this is an original idea. Those are OK, I guess. See when we
have more information.
The Golden Age
This one interests me. Is this one based on the book Busiek mentions
as an inspiration for AstroCity?
Red Sonja
Eh.
Highlander
Remaking a classic. It will do well. I'll hate it on spec.

He has a small group of rabid fans. Not enough people to make Firefly
a success. Not enough people to make Serenity successful enough to
warrent a sequel. Not enough people to make Dollhouse a success.
I don't hate him. I think he's funny in person. I think he does
interesting dialogue. I just thing that he's George Lucas doing the
prequels. Too many fans (both in the community and that he works
with) convincing him that he can do no wrong and he's been convinced.

Too far ahead and they may never happen.

The mantra for comic book film reboots at the moment seems to be "It
worked for Incredible Hulk". Although not very well, I must say. And
Punisher is another counter-example.
But Superman and Fantastic Four are using it. Spider-man isn't, I
think, but it is rebooting too soon, IMHO.

True.
> You never stray from a first line of a post? Or build upon it?
> That is very limiting.
Not in a way that mocks the very point of the discussion.
The Dark Knight Rising
> Final for the current batch. Maybe.
> But when they use the word 'final' for things like these I like to take it

True, he seems to say only one for #!... still Sam said final for
Spider-man so they rebooted, which I'm not happy with. I can see that
happening here... like SM, the cast keeps saying "only with this
director"
Which makes sense in some ways, I guess.
Superman 1
> I never saw Superman as a dark hero. He is one of optimism.
Which is why I think that the word is being thrown around too much.
Iron Man 3
> Marketing gimmick perhaps?
I guess. Third films probably do a lot worse than 1 and 2, so the
recent (if you ignore Jedi) trick of "it's not a second sequel it's a
trilogy" thing makes some sense. Like the third issue guest-
appearence in comics.
Antman
> Will there be a Wasp?
I cannot and will not answer that question.
Black Cat
> I have zero issues with hot chicks! :-)
I have an issue where that's all the film is.
Fantastic 4 1
> Same could be said for Spiderman.
I think we did.
Wolverine 2
> One might petition an encyclopedia to use him as posterchild for 'overused'.

If you think you can get the signatures.

Realistic. There were at least 5 Superman films that were proposed
but not made between Superman IV and Superman Returns. All manner of
comic book films suggested... X-Men: First Class now contains story
that would have been in X-Men Origin: Magneto which is no longer
planned, etc.

I've never liked the quickening FX at the end. Even on the 80s. I'd
replace those.

M.O.R
All joking aside, I think the actor Peter Dinklage is a good match for
Puck. He's got the presence of an actor, and he can do the physcial
stuff too. Anyone who has seen him in roles such as Prince Caspian,
or Death at a Funeral (the non Chris Rock film, which is good. The
remake has MArtin Lawrence and co mugging for the camera) knows he can
play the role, and if you have seen him in the Station Agent, one can
see he has really strong acting ability. Certainly more so than many
of his more able bodied, over rated actors.
William George Ferguson
There are two conversations from Whedon's script in the final release. One
is an exchange between Cyclops and Wolverine, and the other an exchange
between Storm and Toad.
[the X-Men have discovered that a shapeshifter (Mystique) has been
impersonating them]
Cyclops: How do I know you're the real Logan?
Wolverine: You're a dick.
Cyclops: Right, Logan.
Storm: Do you know what happens to a toad that's hit by lightning?
Toad: What?
ZAP
Storm: The same as anything else hit by lightning.
The second is generally held in minimum high regard, primarily due to Halle
Berry's delivery of it.

I have a theory, it could be bunnies

Thank you. The first one I thought was humorous enough. The second
I'll have to agree was totally asinine Berry's delivery wasn't Academy

I am a fan. But never claimed I read or saw everything.
Never saw Toystory for instance. And I have yet to see 'The Dollhouse'.
What I did see?
- Buffy (movie and series)
- Angel (series)
- Firefly (series plus Serenity)
- Alien 4
- Doctor Horrible
Read: Couple of his X-men comics and some of the Buffy ones.

Ah... That's it??
Wait.... A line in an X-Men movie?
Joss wrote for that? Which one?
Saw the first a long time ago, but I'm unaware he had anything to do with
that.

Yup, good actor. Could he really handle the physicality of playing Puck?
I dunno.

He's got one credit for stunt work on Oz, so I'd imagine he could.
Plus anyone who saw his turn in Prince Caspian knows he can do the
swordwork, and stunt work that was required, with no problems.
I'd imagine he would have no problem playing the role. The only
question is, would he want to?

If not, I'll bet Warwick Davis would and could. Having just only now
recently seen him in Ray, I was personally astonished to find out that
Davis (at 40, just a few months younger than Dinklage) can actually
act, and he's been in various action-oriented movies since he was a
kid, so he could probably handle the physicality. I'll admit he
doesn't look quite as much like Puck as does Dinklage, who's already
shown he could rock the 'stache.

( number of great comics ) - ( number of great movie adaptations of
comics ) = your answer.

Who gives a fuck? Thor has been Blake since the beginning, and still
is, and the people making the film are some of the most moronic, least
competent hacks in the business, who have turned out purtrid shit after
putrid shit over and over and over.

Who killed Bruce Wayne's parents?
What did Batman do with the killer?
What country was Tony Stark in when his heart was first damaged?
Who was the first supervillain Iron Man fought?
Who is Peter Parker's first love?
How does Spider-Man shoot webs?
Yeah, movies adapted from superhero comics alter the details of the heroes,
sometimes significantly--and still can be commercially successful and even
critically acclaimed.
A bad adaptation can still be a good or even great movie.
Yeah, Thor was Donald Blake at the beginning, and currently is, but has
spent decades not being Blake, and people kept reading the comic and liking
the character. So TPTB of the movie about Thor, Odin, Jane, Loki, a
Destroyer, some Shield agent, Asgard and Midgard chose to NOT cram the
persona of Donald Blake into the 2-hour running time? It can still be a good
movie.
Doesn't mean it will be or won't be, just, why not wait until the movie is
released before getting so angry about it? All that anger only raises your
blood pressure and damages your health--and it could turn out you like or
even love the movie.
Besides, having established Asgard to the general public in this movie TPTB
could still make him Blake in a sequel.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Martin Klebba. He's on The Cape right now, and besides the acting chops, he's got the physical fighting down pat. He'd be perfect.
