Had a good time seeing Capt America, in 2D, on vacation in Canada. Not overwrought, good Super Hero fun. Why Women in combat don't wear Helmets, Ala Aliens, is beyond me. Hair wasn't That Great to start with! Next weekend it's Rise of the Planet of the Apps, err, Apes.
That one doesn't appear to be funny...

Rise of the Apes, baby! Looking forward to it. It's gotta be a step up from Marky Mark and Tim Burton's vision - Enophile 10:18:17 08/02/11 (8)
Time for a "Planet of the Apes" HBO or Showtime series.
- In the previews I thought that "spark of malevolence" in their eyes . . - mr grits 15:51:17 08/03/11 (0)
  was chilling. Can't wait...I bet the first half is better than the action half.
- I liked the preview I saw at a theater, looked like - oldmkvi 11:47:14 08/02/11 (6)
  good serious Sci-Fi, and a subject we all know. God I hope they don't it screw-up!!! On the big screen, it looked good. TV commercials aren't as dynamic, or so I hope...
  - Looks good except... - mkuller 15:18:05 08/02/11 (5)
    ...for the apes who don't look much more realistic than they did in 1968.
    
    Main ones are played by actual small actors in motion capture suits like the ones used in Avatar, then CGIed.
    - Yawn. 2001 set the standard. For apes AND fx, though the amazing - tinear 06:54:43 08/03/11 (3)
      ship (and the smaller ones) was a large-scale model. Computer-generated fx suck. Great employment vehicle for the industry, unless you're an actor. It eats up all the budgets and has become the Hollywood industry.

        2001 set the standard for apes? The internal mechanism for the mouth was inovative for that time but that was it. Even the original Planet of the Apes makeups were better sculpted, painted and applied. Rick Baker has set the standard for apes for many years now. While Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes sucked a big cock as a movie the makeups were phenomenal. For true apes his work on Gorillas in the Mist is untouchable. Most people still think those were real gorillas

        In Tin-world there is an unarguable "best ape," "best painter," etc...and this "fact" is used to piss on others' enjoyment of the topic at hand.

      they looked like animals, not people in rubber masks. But we'll see!
I loved Captain America - mbnx01 09:56:15 08/02/11 (0)
A film with a great heart.
