Five Reasons "Captain America: The First Avenger" Will Soar at the Box Office. And Five it Won't.

So far, superhero movies have had a lackluster summer in 2011. Both The Green Lantern and X-Men: First Class have stumbled at the box office, despite plenty of publicity, not to mention bulging spandex. Marvel Studios hopes to buck that trend with Captain America: The First Avenger, the upcoming action film about patriotism, explosions and the impossibly handsome Chris Evans. Here’s the latest trailer:

So will this movie be a super hit? Or a super bomb? On the one hand, hunky Chris Evans gets to walk around shirtless and sweaty. On the other hand, he plays a hero whose primary weapon is… a shield. And how many superhero movies can we take anyway, especially since the formula is so … stale by this point. But Hollywood keeps churning them out.

Anyway, the new Captain America trailer certainly shows us a lot of fighting, things exploding, Evans pumped up abody nd submarine-punching, but is that enough? Let's take a look.

For all you nay-sayers out there, here are the top five reasons this film is going to fail:

Nazis again? Really?

5. The last time two times Chris Evans played characters with "special powers" were Push and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Both of them bombed. Not a good sign.

4. No one wants to see Evans’ head digitally added to Haley Joel Osment’s body. And how come his pants don't rip apart when he is "transformed" by the military scientists? Did he borrow them from the Hulk? Lame!

3. It takes place during World War II, and history is crazy-boring. Especially in summer. See: X-Men: First Class.

2. A character named Captain America probably doesn’t have a big fan base in some of the larger foreign markets, like Communist China or… pretty much every country not named America.

1. Nazi villains again? Yawn….

To be fair, the trailer also had some pretty cool moments, too. So here are the top five reasons why this film is going to rock at the box office:

Need we say more?

5. The main bad guy can pull off his face just to freak people out.

4. Tommy Lee Jones hasn’t been this awesome since he fought aliens with the Fresh Prince.

3. Everyone likes when Nazis get beaten at stuff.

2. The movie shows that any guy can have Chris Evans’ body with absolutely no effort. You just need to suck up to some government scientists who happen to have a Super Hunky Man Making Machine laying around.

1. Sorry, but Evans is way hotter than Ryan Reynolds or anyone in the X-Men movie. It's a fact!

So what do you think? Has this trailer piqued your interest in Captain America? Or do you feel that if you’ve seen one genetically-enhanced-super-soldier-fighting-face-ripping-Nazis movie, you’ve seen them all?
