I'm getting so excited for this. All the casting announcements are great. With all the amazing choices they've made it's making me less upset about Chris Evans being cast as Cap. I'm beginning to believe they saw something in him that I have yet to see.

well, why do you NOT like him as an actor? frankly i've never seen him in a HORRIBLE movie, i mean cellular was bad but he was good in it. he rocked in the losers, and i liked him in the FF movies. everybody has this "i want it to be good but they cast yadda yadda" everytime we hear about a comic movie. first it was tobey in spider man, people STILL bitch about hugh jackman playing wolverine, and i've already heard people start in on seth rogan playing green hornet and all they've got is a teaser trailer. and to be honest bud, it's not really the actors fault, they just follow writing and direction. sometimes you get "superman I &II" other times you get "batman & robin/ X-3"....it's a crap shoot. i think everif he's TERRIBAD in it they have loaded the gun with so much star power we probably will disregard it. until we see it the second time!

The movie itself was ok but it was basically a "paint by numbers" action movie and it was ok. I disliked pretty much everything about the FF movies. I thought he played Johnny just a bit over the top and I wasn't impressed.

Hey maybe if you're interested, check him out in Sunshine and Street Kings. He had non-comedic serious roles in both those movies and I think he killed them both. He proved he's able to play more complex and intelligent characters with those performances if you ask me.

And personally, I think his comedic timing and cockiness for Johnny Storm was spot on, one of the handful of bright spots about those mediocre-at-best films IMO. Anyway, I understand where you're coming from, you'll probably just have to wait and see if he can win you over in the actual Cap film.

yeah i forgot about sunshine, street kings he was alright in but it was hard for me to wrap my brian around "ted goes on a killing spree." but yeah sunshine is totally a great movie, mrs. c never watched it but i must have seen it like 6 times because my bud eli let me borrow it on dvd. him and cillian murphy are pretty much the only 2 that carry that movie.

But..
He acts like the character enough for me to not care.
I like him as wolvie.

he'd never even be on camera.
