Thor - surprisingly good! I really liked it, and I'm not a huge Thor fan.

X-Men - man, was this one a shocker. Early reports lead me to believe this was going to be a total stinker. The first few rumors supported this. Then it hit, and holy shite, it's an awesome movie! I really liked it, so much so that I'm thinking of seeing it again. I NEVER see a movie twice in a theatre any more.

I'm right there with you on those two.

Green Lantern- I think I'll enjoy it for what it is. I hope I will. I said it in another thread but if this one can at least make enough to warrant a sequel, we'll be in for a very solid movie there. GL comic fans know what I mean. Don't want to spoil anything.

Captain America- I really thought this one would blow Thor out the water. Then Thor ended up being good so now I'm really expecting a cool WWII/science fiction mix with this one. Can Chris Evans pull off the Capt America personality? That's whats gonna sell it or sink it.

That's a good question. I think it will all depend on him. Because he started as a teen movie guy, I didn't take him seriously as Johnny Storm. But he surprised me, he was actually very good, and totally fit the role.

With Cap, he's going to have to suppress the immature, fly by the seat of his pants, image, and go for a more dour, serious, resolute, quiet guy style. I always see Cap as embodying "walk softly and carry a big stick". We'll see if Evans can make the transformation. Hell, who would have thought Mr. Mom could be a bad arse Bruce Wayne?
