Re: The First Avenger: Captain America (2011, Johnston) - News, cast, rumors
After suffering through innumerable reviews 20 years ago that all touted the Burton Batman movies as being refreshingly free of the camp of the TV series, I came to realize most people that use the phrase have no real grasp of what it is.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Adam West Batman series and film... I just don't want a quasi camp & serious film mixed together.

Not sure about the embargo. The world premiere is Thursday July 21st. Though that does seem a bit unusual. I would've thought it would have already been screened and reviewed with a few reviews on RT to get the good word out. Hmm.

It's not a good sign when they hold reviews back until release day. Even the fanboy sites had lots of Thor reviews over a week in advance.

I personally know of at least one critic who has already seen it. They said it was "okay".

Jordan Raup of The Film Stage tweeted this
Captain America: TFA is the best franchise starter Marvel has made. Joe Johnston knocked it out of the park.

I'm really on the fence about this. I keep getting a "Fantastic Four" feeling about this movie - the trailers make it look good, and he's a good character so it's hard to imagine them fucking this up - but I can see the movie being filled with bad jokes, corny one-liners, and generally just being boring.
