Especially with a buzz... heh.. 🙂 😄

10/10

Nice.

Haven't rewatched it yet, but I see no reason why its rewatchability factor should be any lesser than that of Vol. 1 or Vol. 2 👆

GOTG used Space Hog in the movie, so 10/10

Saw it again last night, it holds up. Still fun and I like it better than Vol2. Though constant *****-face Gamora is slightly annoying.

Defo best Marvel Trilogy.

But imagine how much we would be complaining if she turned out to be a rehashed vol. 1 Gamora... 😂

You think Rob? I preferred Kapatain Amerikka!

Also do like that Trilogy a whole lot, but GotG is a bit better, imo.

Ironman (2008) still the best single film though. They got that perfect for a comicbook film.

I agree on Iron Man, sad the best Marvel movie is the first. I liked GoG 1 very much, I think though it is what caused the unfortunate move to comedy in Marvel, mind you. For me Winter Soldier is superior to GoG 1 and Civil War matches it. The first Avenger and GoG 2 are bad. I am not a fan of GoG3 but it is clearly a well made film, it just fills all the worst tick boxes for MCU cliche.

The First Avenger wasn't as good as TWS and TCW. That's the weak link in that trilogy.

Iron Man, not Ironman. You want Ironman, then participate in a triathlon 😛 But fuck yes, that movie was flawless 👆

Iron Man, Iron Man, does whatever an iron can!

While kinda sad, it's also not unusual for the first film of a series to be the pièce de résistance.

I agree with having a different dynamic between Quill and Gamora. Kept things fresh.

I kind of wonder if she hadn't died in Infinity War if she would have just been in a relationship with Quill? That might have been lame.

This film is so good.

Rocket's story is so heart-crushing and compelling. cry

They dropped the ball on the Iron Man films

i liked the first one, Even somewhat the 2nd movie (well i enjoyed some of it)...but that 3rd one...ugh

This is true, but usually series are single or same group protagonist and linear, I'm not sure this applies to expectations for often tenuous related stories like Shang Chi.

There's suppose to be a 2nd Shang-Chi movie coming, According to Simu Liu he says it keeps getting pushed back.

I agree 100%.

Enjoyed Stark much better in the team movies or even guest appearances rather than IM2 / IM3.

And yes, IM3 was easily the worst. Warren Ellis' Extremis comic book story arc was tailor-made for a movie adaptation and Shane Black managed to ruin it somehow.

i remember one of the writers, I think it was that Drew Pearce questioning the Pepper pots subplot from it. When adapting the story when talking about the film after its been out

just stfu and adapt the story, There's a reason why its considered one of the best Iron Man stories.

The way Ellis wrote Extremis... hell, even the way it was drawn... it *should* have been ridiculously easy to transfer to the big screen.

And it should have been significantly better than IM2. Alas, it turned out to be much worse.

In typical Hollywood fashion they think they can improve things.

I wonder if Favreau could have adapted it better

I'd say yes, but we'll never know.

I wonder if that's because of the political situation with China?

And yeah, Extremis was a storyboard tbh.
