I am seriously geeked for the movies coming out this summer. There are 5 comic book movies and three that have my geek superpowers all a flutter. In the next few months a new X-Men movie, Green Lantern, Thor, Captain America, and Transformers 3. I have already detailed my dork love for the Green Lantern with the countdown clock located on the right side of this page but combine that with Captain America and Thor and I may cause a public spectacle.
Here is the Thor movie trailer:
A Norse god cast out of Asgard for defying his father Oden. The God of Thunder cast down to "Midgard" (earth) and finds a way to protect the people with his massive hammer Mjolnir. Thor beats up the bad guys, throws around his hammer, gets the girl, and teams up with Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers to save the world. Can't wait. I want my own hammer but the wife is against this because he wants me to be a grown up on some level. I don't agree.
Next up Captain America:
The world is at war struggling against the evil Nazi army and the desires of Hitler to take over the world. The US wants to develop super soldiers but the test are very experimental. Steve Rogers is a scrawny kid looking to serve his country but he is does not pass the medical exams but do not fret he is picked up for the super solider project. Rogers takes the serum and is transformed into Captain America. The government is not ready to put Cap into battle because he is untested and all the research that went into the super solider serum cost a pill of 1930's cash so Cap is set to Europe as part of the USO Tour. Cap wants to fight on the front lines but instead he is given a goofy red, white and blue costume to inspire the troops. One thing leads to another and Captain America is kicking Nazi and (because they are really running the show) HYDRA butt.
The summer of comic book movies begins May 6th with Thor
