This post might be more for
comic book fans but it does involve movies so I’ll post here. I have some doubts about The Guardians of the
Galaxy film and the Captain America sequel Winter Soldier based on the trailers
and what I’ve read. Hate to be a comic
book purist but both these films look like crap.
1) The original Guardians of
the Galaxy were so much more original and bad ass and interesting. More about
them here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(1969_team) The New Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the worst
reboots in comic book history. Rocket
Racoon really???? Too bad they are the focus of this film and not Vance Astro,
Martinex, Charlie 27, etc. Only thing that interests me about the GoG movie is
if they discuss Gamora’s relationship with Thanos (adopted daughter).
2.) The problem with the
Captain America sequel is the Winter Soldier character itself. Bucky Barnes was Captain America’s sidekick
in the comic and a major part of CA mythology.
In the first Captain America film, Bucky was a minor character whose
presumed death was not that meaningful therefore I see the movie losing a lot
of emotional depth if it tries to recreate the comic book. Basically, the Winter Soldier has no extra meaning, just a run of the mill villain without Bucky's back history
Movies made by people who don’t
know comic books UGH!
