The actually used the characters of the Howling Comandos only this time they were led by Bucky who is not a teenaged sidekick but the adult friend of Capt America. Instead they made Sgt Nick Fury out to be the Snakes in the Plane guy.<br /><br />That is not a ninny I would have picked.

But is it really any different from any recurring heroic character? Or any hero, come to think of it? Othello isn't brought down by a spear.<br /><br />It's interesting to note which ones work and which ones don't. The '70s Superman movies work (to the extent that they do) because of him struggling with his humanity and caring about others.<br /><br />Same with--sorta--Tim Burton's Batman. (Though "Batman Returns" has to be one of the rock bottom comic-book-hero movies ever.)<br /><br />It had already gotten hack by the third Spider-man movie, and ditched when Rattner did the third X-Men movie.<br /><br />But these moments are meant to create a vehicle for the action, or you end up with Singer's "Superman Returns" movie. And with the recent ones--Thor, Capt. America, Green Lantern--the action's no good either. It's just an attempt to overwhelm through CGI.<br /><br />Meh.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-53108467833923414502011-11-13T13:16:51.456-08:002011-11-13T13:16:51.456-08:00I recently purchased a book on kindle which was a ...I recently purchased a book on kindle which was a compiltion of essays about Captain America and his role in American society.

And Comics in general.
