thanks bro, let me just add that planet of the apes was a huge turd-fest too. A lot of these movies are complete shite. I don't have great expectations for the next comic movie coming out this weekend either....

Yes VS was kidding. Stoic is alive and well and none of that ever happened...

<<<< still stuck in the denial stage of grief.

Pfft... spoilers.

I suppose next you are gonna tell us that Kevin Spacey is Kaiser Soze, Darth is Luke's father, and Professor Plum did it in the Conservatory with the Lead Pipe.

Well, I hate to much hear so many hated this flick (haven't seen it yet....planned to catch it this coming weekend). The trailers looked interesting and Scarlett, well, she is truly a gem....anyway, what a shame.

I did (finally) end up catching Cruise's most recent movie (Edge of Tomorrow) and found it very entertaining. Yes, no doubt it was a sci-fi based Groundhog Day but it kept me interested to the very end (even if you had the finale figured out waaaay in advance).

GOTG will be EPIC!!! Also Avenger AOU. Batman vs. Superman will be complete and utter trash, minimally redeemable by Jessie Eisenburg as Lex Luthor. Gail Gadot as Wonder Woman and Assfleck as Batman is a shit sandwich. But Marvel adaptations will be on fire! I digress as to not sound like a nerd, or is it too late?

Enjoy the euphoria while it last.

In the next 10 minutes will come;
Denial: that didn't really just happen..I had a flashback or something..right???
Anger: Im gonna kick that Morgan Freeman's ass
Bargaining: ok Hollywood i did that for you, now you owe me!! right???
Depression: Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! If this ever got out...oh man game over..
Acceptance: You know what, you made it and that has to count for something.

Very creative review - thanks.

This monster lulled me into a false sense security with his presence then he and his compadres gleefully raped my brain.

Are you including the previews as part of the whole? If so then i kind of agree the first 15 minutes of previews as being ok.
Did she charge extra for the torture or was that includec as part of the package

Not trolling. I think you went to a movie with the wrong expectations. I also think some of your perspectives are wrong. The CGI was pretty good, in my opinion.

Not trolling, but I really disagree with this view. If you're capable of going to a movie with the understanding that it isn't a documentary, this one is ok. Not Oscar material, but entertaining for sure. Go see it and let us know your views.

At first glance based on your clock work avatar I would expect your opinion to be closer to mine...you sure your not trolling? You mention the good CGI; you have a Kubrick avatar and the "flash drive" was already mentioned. How would you rate the flash drive CGI against the Monolith of 68? Also no preconceived expectations at all on the movie, it was what was playing when we arrived.

Ahhhh I think I get it now; this is the Jarritos effect. You bought the new flavor and it was awful...now you have to trick your friends to share the experience.
Wink wink nudge nudge, I feel you. Yes everyone please go see the film. Be sure to write down where you were and what time so you can accurately relay the details to the grand babies.

Chill. I'm not out to 'win' a debate here. It's a movie. I liked it more than you did, that's all. Even though the science was wrong, which I knew going in, I was interested in the story they would tell. It was summer entertainment style, not deep thought style, and if you're ok with that, it was ok. Not like 'Contact' (a fav) or Trainspotting, but a hell of a lot better than any of the other summer fare right now.

Cheers,

Well said, Kong......Marvel Rawks.

And Afflack (while he has a hot wife) totally blows. He needs to give up the super hero character idea and stick with scripts that he can actually pull off.

Assfleck, classic! Wish Bryan Cranston was Luther.

Reviews looking mixed on GOTG. Even though I like Chris Pratt, might have to hold off on seeing it. Still waiting for next avengers flick. Robert Downey Jr and Tom Hiddleston absolutely made that flick.
