Trailer Battle: CAPTAIN AMERICA: TWS Vs X-MEN: DOFP

We've had two very different trailers for two highly anticipated CBMs recently -- one showcasing the fun and action we've come to expect from a Marvel flick, the other taking a much more somber, character driven approach. But which did you prefer overall?

Today we had the very impressive trailer for Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days Of Future Past. This first real (official) glimpse at the movie was character focused, and gave us flashes of the enormous ensemble cast while providing a couple of strong emotional moments; helped along greatly by that haunting (if admittedly a bit overused) score. By contrast the trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier which debuted the other day teased some very exciting looking action set pieces while only briefly hinting at the story, all to the clanging strains of one of Marvel's standard, somewhat generic, pop/rock tracks. Both trailers are obviously -- and purposefully -- very different in tone, but their jobs are ultimately to get you excited for the movies..so which do you think was most successful at doing that? Vote below and then sound off in the usual place.





After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy — the Winter Soldier.




The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The beloved characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from X-Men: First Class, in an epic battle that must change the past -- to save our future.
