GOTG 2

[PandaPancake]

The other thread got archived. It's my favorite Marvel movie but the general opinion is that it's second only to Civil War.

I'm going back on the fourth to see the double feature of 1+2

have you already seen it?

I'm so excited

I saw it and I'm really confused by it. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I think I like it? One thing that is really going to hurt it's popularity is that it isn't nearly as funny or charming as the original. The tone of it is a lot more dark and they cut down on a lot of the comedy. I foresee audiences being very split.

Saw it last night and enjoyed it but I don't think as much as the first one. It seemed a little bit more somber than the first but overall it was a good sequel with it's typical comedic moments and well placed music. Characters were all great also. Drax and Yondu seemed to stand out.

Y'all call that 'dark' and 'somber'? WTF

No wonder DC movies can't compete with critics. You guys want it bright and sunny all the time. Give me a break. Vol. 2 was still a lot of fun and it had a multiple hilarious scenes. The only thing I disliked about the sequel were the forced sappy scenes (ex. Gamora/Nebula, Yondu/Rocket/Starlord) and Sylvester's idiotic cameo.

Sappy is probably closer to the word I was looking for rather than somber. Just a little slow in parts maybe. I dunno how to describe it but didn't find it dark at all though (admittedly I don't watch most Marvel films). Just a bit of a different feel than the first but as I said, it was a very enjoyable sequel.

Snyder's movies don't do well with critics because they are shitty movies.

I don't know why you've made it your life's mission to defend disney movies on a football message board but it's quite sad. 

Said the person here to trash said movie. Good luck buddy.

Watchmen was not poo. In fact, the director's cut is considered a masterpiece.

300 was highly entertaining, not poo either.

Man of Steel was actually pretty damn decent.

So I beg to differ. Batman vs Superman wasn't even horrific. Just hyperbole.

Nevertheless, that's not the point of my point.

 

You said DC movies, so I was thinking mainly BvS and Suicide Squad which wasn't Snyder obviously. MofS was mostly meh. Emo Superman is lame imo.

Watchmen and 300 both got more positive ratings than negative fwiw

It does look like DC will correct course somewhat at least with Wonder Woman.

The general theory by DC fanboys that critics prop up Marvel and put down DC on purpose is just hilarious to me. Folks be in denial.

I think DC and Marvel both make equally terrible movies. If you replaced all of these iconic heroes with unknown characters, they would mostly fail or be considered mediocre action flicks at best.

None of these films, with the exception of GoTG, would stand on their own. Even the Nolan Batman flicks would have been good, not great with original or unknown characters.

They made two of this sh!t?

[Davidson Deac II]

I enjoyed it.  It was funnier than the last one.  As much a comedy as  an action adventure flick.  

[twylyght]

Good popcorn flick.  A lot of the messaging was the opposite of subtle, but it's that kind of series.

GotG2 was the best afterschool special i have ever seen.
