6/5/10

Haven't cared for Baby Groot, lol. Humour-wise, Drax stole the show for me.

Anyway, I loved both Guardians movies and I trust Gunn will succeed with entertaining me again and again.

Iron Man 3's tone was off. It went from a previously "fun" franchise to a completely tongue in cheek tone. That didn't work at all for me.

It was horrible.

Also, Downey sucked in this one... same prob with his acting in IM 2, but to a much lesser extent, ofc.

^ It's what tone suits each specific movie. GOTG was always a completely fun tone from Day1.

GOTG was based around a really fun tongue in cheek tone, which was best for a film starring a raccoon and a walking tree.

Ant-Man suited a fun tone since it was about a superhero whose power is to shrink himself.

Dr. Strange had the odd joke. But was mostly more serious than the other 2. Any film can us the odd joke. It's something BvS was seriously lacking.

The Captain America films have all had a pretty serious tone (with the odd joke) which suited them.

Yes, I understand that. My point is that it doesn't work very well sometimes. Both GOTG movies nails it, though.

Don't see you praising Marvel too often.

Zack's not paying well enough these days? haermm

I like about 60% of MCU movies, stilt. Logan is my favorite Marvel movie, btw. Followed by GOTG Vol. 1

60%? Means a lot coming from a hardcore DC fan.

Logan was surprisingly good, yes. Too bad XMO and The Wolverine don't hold a candle to it.

Good? It was great. Phucking hater. 😛

Logan is probably in my top 5 of all time.

Baby Groot, after the Blue Sky bit, was kind of just "there" I thought.

The humour struck out a few times, but that was bound to happen with how ridiculously they pushed it even when they shouldn't have.

It was great, yes. I've seen it twice in the theater and I absolutely loved it... even though it had little to do with the original OML story.

Wish they did more with Pierce, but oh well. There are also those annoying inconsistencies like that stupid adamantium bullet (explosive round?), but whatever. Good thing Deadpool film happened, R-rating naturally works perfectly with the Wolverine material.

Just seen it. I really liked it. Surprised by all the negativity tbh.

I mean sure wasn't any where near as funny as the first (naturally funny comedies usually lose their mojo in the sequel by trying too hard and this was no exception). And the soundtrack wasn't as good, (but loved the choice for the send off at the end).

But still it was fun, advenorous and had a lot more heart this time. Also the couple of times the jokes did work they worked really well.

7.5/10.

Yeah, people are acting as if it was another IM2 or something.

Looking forward to vol. 3, 4 and GotG parts in the Infinity War 1, 2, of course.

^ I'd actually rank Iron Man 2 above this movie, to be honest. GOTG2 was a middle of the road MCU movie.

Songwriter Elliott Laurie has said that GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 2 has correctly pinpointed the meaning of his song "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)",

Yeah well after the Captain America sequels, I'd say this is probably the next best Marvel (MCU) sequel so far.

8 for me. Solid movie. I think id give anything with Kurt Russell an 8, so maybe I'm biased. 😛

Watch Deepwater Horizon. Really good.

Here's my review, if anyone cares. 🙂

Shut up, I should report you.

Made me speechless, too. Downey wasn't trying even half as hard as he did in IM1.

Everyone is entitled to his or hers own opinion, but still. IM2 had so many problems.

Still it was one the better Marvel movies yet people act like it was bad.

Some people are damn idiots....

I did miss Fox on the run from the trailers tho..
