May 11, 2012 6:58 am Couldn't agree more, with most of you.
I started out reading comics as a big fan of Millar, The Ultimates and Red Son especially.
But these past few years he is just redoing, movie style action sequences with characters, so often, drawn to look like actors.
Kick-Ass got really repetitive, and irritating. Wanted was just trying too hard to be violent and aggressive.
I think that Millar is much like the Tarantino of comics. I don't have a problem with insane violence and horrific images, but when the creator is clearly trying so hard, and is merely including these things, just to try and be shocking, that really bugs me. I've no patience for it.
July 31, 2011 6:18 pm Now this is what Indy 4 should've felt like!
Just saw it today, and I loved it! Easily 4/5 (Possibly 4.5/5), I can't really imagine a more fun time at the movies. I'm a big Chris Evans fan, mainly cause of Sunshine and Push, and he totally embodied Cap in this.
The character FX e.g. Skinny Steve and Red Skull were fantastic. Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving and Stanley Tucci really delivered as usual. Just like everyone in this.
The teaser at the end nearly made my jaw fall off, I'm pretty sure it un-hindged at least. Eeeep was all I could get out, though. Last time Whedon worked with Marvel he co-created my favourite comics, please let him do so with films as well.
July 29, 2011 8:22 am Awesome cast, I really hope this is as good as I want it to be.
The director of Iron Man. Writers of Star Trek/Fringe/Lost/Alias. Indy, Bond, Dr. Remy '13' Hadley, Guy Fleegman/Zaphod Beeblebrox, and Paul Dano. = Nerdgasm.
This looks so good, it will either blow my mind, or dissapoint miserably. But as of now, I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt. Can't Wait.
July 19, 2011 9:31 am Looks awesome! That P.O.V. will kill those with motion sickness.
There has recently been a new IMAX theatre opened like 90 mins on the bus from where I live, I think this, TDKR and Star Trek are definitely doing to be reasons to make the trip. Next year is so far away!
Guess I will be now. Love Rucka, I've been re-reading Gotham Central recently, and hopefully I'll finish it just before Vol. 1 of this comes out.

Ineptitude!
When I first saw the costume redesign (I still prefer the classic), but the art looks fantastic, I'm hoping the writing will match.
But, here's hoping anyway.

Can't Wait. I need not repeat the excitement of others.

They seem legit. Haven't seen any fakes on the site before.
