Brónach 1,302 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thor would be a lot more popular over there if they had made the character look like the actual gods they're inspired on. I was pleasantly surprised by the route they took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 4,141 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Does Cap even fight Nazis in this movie? Is it now politically incorrect for the bad guys to have swastikas on their uniforms? Are they afraid of offending... Nazis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 4,141 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 And in Captain America comic books. Shouldn't young viewers have the opportunity to learn that Nazis were the bad guys? Or should pop culture just soften the view and phase that out? I cry pussy marketing-based film-making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I would actually avoid nazis if I wrote this film. I would make the bad guy suddenly dimiss the Nazis and the USA government as a bunch of poofs and go for something really disturbing that even the hero isn't expecting and that makes him doubt. I would look for something that challenges the character's thoughts as well as his physique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brónach 1,302 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I was not trying to dimiss the Nazis as villains. I was talking about how you can use villains to make the hero more interesting. If you have awesome villains I you don't make the audience care about the hero, half of the audience will just wait for the hero to die and then cheer.

Wycket 36 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 From what I gather, the Nazis are there, but they will be working with/a part of HYDRA. For those wanting more evil Nazis, it looks like they will be in the new season of Doctor Who, so there will be goose-stepping abounds this summer.

Matt C 455 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I heard that Silvestri recorded the score in London a few weeks ago.

Captain America Main TitlesSo hopefully we'll get a good main theme then I liked his new A-Team theme, even if I thought the film was a pile of crap.Stylistically, I'd prefer closer to Beowulf. I liked his use of synths, some really good themes/motifs, and the action was driven by melody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QMM 4 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Listening to it right now, the main theme didn't initially grab me but I'm really liking the action music. It's good old fashioned music and you can definitely hear vintage Silvestri in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 The selections from Captain America just played. Well, this should be pretty doggone good. For starters, lemme say that the trailers would benefit exponentially from the use of the main theme. I'm thinking the moment of him busting through the doors with his men, for starters. The action material is pretty solid--actually, to a degree, a blend between older Silvestri and newer. The brass writing tends more to the Mummy Returns type style, but there are little orchestrational touches here and there, including an early xylophone flourish that took me back to BTTF. Those concerned that this would be affected by the contemporary touches present in Thor and Green Lantern, or even G.I. Joe and A-Team...don't be. This orchestral Silvestri 100%. Can't wait for the 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
