Kind of annoyed the GOTG 2 tv spots apparently give away the death of a character. Don’t know if it’s major or a minor one though.

Then stop watching the TV spots.

Well, excuse me for watching tv in bed, half groggy recovering from a migraine, and not having lighting fast super hero reflexes grabbing the remote. 😉

Must get faster!

So, I watched The Last Jedi teaser trailer only once. Then I immediately went back and watched THOR: RAGNAROK teaser trailer 5~6. I can’t stop watching it. My dream cosmic THOR movie which I’ve been waiting for since I was a kid in the 1980’s finally coming to life.

The New Spiderman movie will almost certainly be better than the last two terribad ones. I still can’t believe they had a bad guy who basically looked like he was wearing a bad rubber lizard suit from an old Godzilla movie.

Thor 2 was pretty stupid… and it does look like Ragnarok will be better.

I liked Civil War quite a bit - was happy to see that after the (IMO) overrated Avengers 2

It would be impressive if they made it any worse

Yeah, I wasn’t a big fan of that second trailer, but surely it can’t be worse than the “Amazing” predecessors.

Mind you, I’m not sure any Spider-Man movie is likely to best the first Raimi one, simply because that one has stuff like this. Sure, it’s goofy as hell, but it’s more creative than anything I’ve seen in a comic movie since, and actually feels like something that would be in a comic.

But I digress, I’m sure Homecoming will be fine. After that Ragnarok trailer, I’m suddenly far more interested in Thor, whose previous movies were incredibly dull. The Earth setting was holding them back, and I’m glad they’ve ditched Earth and Thor’s bland human friends.

I loved the first 2 Raimi movies, together with the first 2 X-Men movies I think they might be the best “superhero” movies ever made. The third one wasn’t as good as the previous 2, it had way too many subplots (thanks to Avi F**king Arad) and tonal problems, but it’s still enjoyable. I tried to watch The Amazing Spiderman 1, and I thought it’s a giant piece of dog excrements. I have seen maybe 10 minutes of the second one, I switched the channel during the first commercial break and never came back. And from the reviews I’ve seen I’ve done the correct decision.

I did really like the first Thor movie, but not as a superhero flick, but like a character-driven drama. It was all about interpersonal relationships between two brothers and their father, I really enjoyed the acting, directing, art direction etc. But I understand why some people say it’s boring. The second one however is one giant WTF - I tried to watch it twice but the only thing I remember from it was the “teleportation”. I am worried about the third one, it looks from the trailer it will suffer from the “too much shit going on at the same time” syndrome like Spiderman 3, or Avengers 2

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. What a fun ride. I like it even more than the first one (which was a bit of a letdown because of all the hype it got beforehand). 4 post credit scenes, btw.

Maybe they’re saving the fifth one for when it opens here in the States. I’ve heard they’ve done that in the past. The first GotG in particular kept a tight lid on the post-credits scene at the very end of the movie, even the critics didn’t see it at their screenings.

Then there’s the Schawarma scene at the end of Avengers, which wasn’t even shot until after the world premiere IIRC.

Thought there were 5 post-credit scenes.

Five too many. I loathe post-credit scenes.

^This.

Just got back from seeing GOTG 2. My recommendation? Whatever you rated the first one, this gets the same rating.

Not that I was planning on watching it anyway, but thanks for the warning regardless. 😉

I’m betting you’ll do one in a future edit someday. 😉

I’ll take that bet.

Very surprised to read this. I have heard from all of my trusted reviewers that this movie was quite underwhelming. Your review now makes me even more excited to check it out for myself! 😃

I agree with TK, it was well worth the trip to the theater to see. I hear the 3D is fantastic and considering how great the 2D looked I can only imagine. The movie gives backstory while moving forward from the last film and it does so very smoothly. Each character gets screen time for their defining moment of clarity and importance to the group.
