I cannot believe it : I actually watched Guardians of the Galaxy

Yup. Logan stands as a phenomenal movie...almost only incidentally has super heroes in it.

Yeah, Guardians Of The Galaxy was a real standout. They took a third tier superhero group that had no audience, and turned it into a real entertainment joy ride.

By the way, yesterday I saw The Flash.

A great story, Ezra Miller (no matter what you think of him) was phenomenal as two completely different versions of himself. And Michael Keaton really shined as a version of Batman.

It's weird. The only thing that stood out as a negative are some of the effects.

Most were great (meaning you couldn't tell they were CGI), but some were on par with the Superman mustache removal in Justice League. It was just distracting.

But the movie made me really really want to see Keaton as Batman again.


And I agree with Shane. Antman was a really well done movie too. And so were the two sequels. Just like Guardians.

Added later;

Mark mentioned Wonder Woman. Yup, I agree. An excellent movie. The second WW movie was a mess, framed by a great first and last scene.

I want to see that but can't see it streaming on any platform yet, only available for sale, so did someone buy the Blue-Ray or has it finally been released to stream?

It's a 3 hour long fight scene with very little dialogue. Whether this is good or bad depends on your perspective.

I still haven't seen number 4, I'm excited for it. We just got it on Plex!

I watched it streaming tonight, bit of a slog. Can't believe how everybody was such a lousy shot and missed him all the time. Any one of those car injuries or falling down the steps or out of the window would have killed him instantly. But hey, it was fun to watch and well orchestrated.

Ironic that Winston's Concierge was killed as they would have not needed to to have found a replacement, but we know now that will not need to happen anyway.

Barbie has not been released yet. It is scheduled to be released July 21. You would have seen the commercials if you watched the Baking Championship on Food Network last night. Considering all the cakes had to have a Barbie theme.

Is this the Balestra/Yoda Speak fusion we have all been waiting for?

I think the clue was in the name, "Man Of Steel", an all powerful superhero with god like powers and where bullets and shells just bounced off him. Wick was just a superlative human assassin with fast reflexes and martial art skills. He was not impregnable to the sort of harm that befell him in this movie. It had become increasingly so throughout the series to the point of farce. At least in the previous ones he got cuts on his face, Not this one though.

Even the baddies were getting up from devastating injuries. As for the dog getting up from being slammed violently against a moving car and growling, well, that takes the dog biscuit, lol. Then we have the blind man doing really well against all the adversaries.

There seemed to be some implication that Wick's suit had a lightweight fabric that was resistant to bullets because he kept shielding his face with the lapels. The baddies, at least the principle ones without the full metal gear, wearing suits, were being hit and metallic pings could sometimes be heard. Well that obviously explains it, lol.

They have increasingly stretched the credibility of fight scenes in movies over the years. This one took it to a whole new level.

Freudian slip.

Just finished watching vol. 2. It was enjoyable but less direction than the first one.,The plot in the first one was more developed,imho.

But still enjoyed the characters and especially baby Groot. .

Will watch vol 3 tonight

I watched the Trailor. That was enough for me. I take it you watched it with the grandchildren. No other excuse could ever be valid.

Btw kay king, did you watch Oppenheimer?

Yet to watch it myself, highly praised. Did not Bomb at the box office.
