It wasn't novel even for a movie. I don't know why people keep forgetting Whedon wrote this fan favorite film. It's full of quips and bit that everyone loves.

Saw it in high school with a group, I think it was just a right time, right place kind of thing. "Uncle fucker" heh heh... The hardest I've ever laughed in a theater is during the Klaus Barbie museum / Hitler's car / WWII vet reunion segment of Rat Race. Holy poo poo Jon Lovitz is funny.

I've never seen any of the Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, or Captain America movies. I've only seen The Avengers with Rifftrax because that was only way I would watch it. The only Marvel movies I've seen in theaters were the GotG movies and Deadpool. 🙄

monster on a stick posted:It's a weird recommendation though. They're saying the movie is well-constructed but they stop short of saying it's great. It's like going to a restaurant and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the meal, but then you completely forget about the restaurant because it wasn't memorable either.

It's a good movie but just passes in comparison to It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World which it is brazenly ripping off.

I liked GOTG 2 alot maybe even better then one for the same reasons RLM did. it was more character focused and everyone had a arc and the humor was overall pretty good though it felt forced at times in the beginning. that said the only complaint they made that i didnt agree with was the whole "peter should have been seduced by ego longer and his friends help him". personaly i just liked When Peter learns Ego killed his mother his reaction was one of the most realistic and justified knee-jerk reactions I ever seen in a movie. least in a cape flick.

I just saw Fast and Furious 8 and it might genuinely be the dumbest movie I've seen in my life. Has some great scenes but overall it's mid-tier F&F, I'd rank it lower than 5,6 and 7

I know Doug Walker is useless, but he is on point when he says that the beginning and end scenes of Rat Race are garbage. Once everyone gets out of the casino it gets much better until making GBS threads the bed in the requisite early 2000s Smash Mouth appearance.

I do like how Mike used the painting of the Sistine Chapel as an example of artistry not being hampered by outside forces, since that was basically the opposite of what happened when Michelangelo was commissioned to paint it.

Yeah the best part of the movie is obviously everyone's journeys, I don't even remember what happens at the end besides the evil rich people getting owned in some way. I remember Whoopi Goldberg and the crazy squirrel lady though.

The Guardians movies are definitely a cut above the rest of the MCU, though they have similar flaws. GotG benefits from having a way cooler setting and universe, and better characters that feel fresh. I'm getting tired of IronMan, Captain America, etc. I dont care about Spider-Man. I'm getting bored of the Avengers stuff, the S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA stuff. GoTG has a huge, fun-looking universe to explore. I wish it were stand-alone. Thor: Ragnarok actually looks like fun because it looks like its going in a similar direction: exploring a crazy Jack Kirby universe of gods and aliens and cosmic epicness. That's WAY more fun than a bunch of superheroes who all have the same personality play-fighting in an empty airport, or yet another Spider-Man movie.

Yeah it's a bummer that the Thanos stuff is going to be an Avengers double feature with GotG cameos even though the only characters that have personal beefs with Thanos are in GotG. Then again, maybe it's for the best because the Thanos plot is kinda loving dumb and plodding and the movies will probably be half exposition dumps.

Thanos didn't pop up in Civil War, and there hasn't been an infinity stone macguffin in the last couple movies. I have not read the comics, but the infinity stones stuff is real dumb right? Like Thanos uses the gauntlet to kill 50% of everything to impress the goddess of Death, who he wants to get with?

Something like that Thanos being in love with Death is still in the movies, Avengers stinger was Thanos turning to the camera and grinning when told that fighting the Avengers would be "to court death" It's actually the only part of the movie I remember that well, because I was explaining to family that it was a comics thing

Like Thanos uses the gauntlet to kill 50% of everything to impress the goddess of Death, who he wants to get with? It's just weird, more than dumb. It's super interconnected and takes advantage of years of continuity while retconning other things. Thanos himself is an interesting comic book character, but he's very much a comic book character. Like for the Infinity Wars and gems to make sense means you need to have read like 10 years of cosmic books or a bunch of character bios on things like the physical embodiment of Reality and Time. Or how there's a giant three headed man who judges the universe. Not to mention the whole death thing. Or Adam Warlock. Cosmic comics are crazy. I don't pay attention to the Marvel movies except for what my hack fraud fake friends tell me, but I'll watch an Infinity Wars movie just to see how bad they gently caress it up.

Honest question: how loving stupid is it going to be watching Hawkeye, Black Widow, Falcon, etc. fighting Thanos when the full team now includes Time Traveling Astral Wizard, Norse Gods, Celestial, Gamora and Nebula, Hulk, and Unkillable Mr. Fantastic Tree Barbarian? Like 8 of the "good guys" can't be harmed short of atomic annihilation. And then there's loving bow and arrow guy, kitty claws, and gun lady. e: I can't imagine how dumb it will be if they introduce the Netflix characters who regularly get their asses beat by rent-a-goons.

They only really make sense in the Marvel spy movies. Then it's fine that the government is sending in company men to hang around all these characters who are transnational gods who may decide at any point that they don't really give a poo poo about what the government wants.

Maybe Hawkeye and Black Widow will die during the Thanos movie, idk how they're going to make a Thanos movie without people dying. Seeing all the deaths in GOTG2 makes me think they have the balls.
