Another flick that I will never be viewing

The one film that never should be made:
Perhaps you could reinterpret the costume, but reinterpreting the character in any way other than what the character was at his comic book origin -- who was basically Bill Whittle with less muscle mass -- is to destroy the character of Steve Rogers/ Captain America utterly.
Period.
Which, of course, is the liberal's intention. As I knew that it would be if there was ever a movie ever to be made about the good Captain.
God-damned liberal idiots. "Reinterpret", my ass. Screw you, Marvel.
No.The director of "Captain America: The First Avenger," the 2011 summer blockbuster that will coincide with the character's 70th anniversary, says the screen version of the hero will be true to his roots -- up to a certain point.
"We're sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers," said Joe Johnston, whose past directing credits include "Jurassic Park III" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids." He's a guy that wants to serve his country, but he's not a flag-waver. We're reinterpreting, sort of, what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was."
...
Does that make him an odd fit to play the earnest and somewhat square superhero with the Betsy Ross fashion sensibility? Johnston answered that in his film -- which is set in World War II -- the character will fight the enemies of America but he won't be a stiff, slogan-spouting guy.
"He wants to serve his country, but he's not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver," Johnston said. "He's just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don't change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier; you have to stay who you are inside, that's really what's important more than your strength and everything. It'll be interesting and fun to put a different spin on the character and one that the fans are really going to appreciate."

What is wrong with making a movie that keeps the integrity of the characters as they were created? Can't Hollywood create something new instead of combing through old comics, TV shows and movies, trying to "update them"? It never works.
