Totally unjustified, as was the hype for Wonder Woman around the same time. I'd put it somewhere in the middle in terms of the Marvel movies.

I came out of WW talking about how much I enjoyed it.. I later realised that I had just being enjoying seeing Gal Gadot on big screen :-*
Saying that it was better than a lot of the DC stuff.. which wouldn't be hard in fairness!

I actually didn't mind Man Of Steel TBH. I spent most of Batman v Superman just waiting for her to show up, jaysus. Watch Justice League again if you have the stomach for it, count how many lingering shots of her arse are in it.

Where would you put GotG 2?

Above anything Ant-Man related, below most other stuff, if you asked me, which you didn't.

I applaud your initiative.

I ask because, like you, I thought it was one of the worst films I've ever seen, yet it seems to be very highly ranked by fans of comic movies: it has a higher audience score on Rotten Tomatoes than Black Panther, which has a much higher critics rating. Now all I can conclude is that no one who doesn't simply hate the new wave of comic movies has any clue at all about what makes a good movie  :abbath:

I started to tune out of them around whatever one ended with the city floating off. Still ended up watching the rest to see how it ended but they all just blend into the same formula. From the last 10 or so Ragnarok and Infinity War are the only two to stand out

GOTG1 and 2 are both rubbish. As was wonder woman and black panther. Marvel stuff is just woeful.  Last superhero film i liked was probably Dark Knight.

GotG 1 was good. They took a totally different slant than the other Marvel movies. That bought some goodwill perhaps,  but by the second one, you've seen the characters enough and they become grating. Black Panther was visually amazing and the story was pretty good. It got huge hype with the black cast, set in Africa etc and is highly acclaimed as such. Taken on its own merits, it's pretty good popcorn but it's definitely over-rated. I'd agree with Trev above, Ragnarok was entertaining throughout and actually very funny. Superb choice casting Jeff Goldblum.

The Lego Batman was that characters finest hour.

Guardians 2 was awful. Captain Marvel dogshit. Black Panther horrendous. Ragnarok actually really tried and did well to bring some actual humour and joy back. Silly mixed with serious, light and escapist..well worth a watch. Dr Strange was alright, more of the same old. The Spiderman cartoon one was pretty cool where he's a little Dominican kid..good fun. As for DC Suicide Squad was woegeous. The most enjoyable movie I've watched based on comics/cartoons recently was the Bumblebee Transformers one.


Just watched Infinity War again tonight, hadn't seen it since it was out in the cinema. Think it still holds up much better than the slew of films before it, apart from Thor, but I completely forgot that they made a sequel to it when it would have been far better to finish story off with the IW ending

Absolutely, Endgame was a huge letdown after the way IW ended. Phase 3 or whatever it was should have ended there.

I enjoyed them all, few let downs like the thor movies but overall really good. A lot of people seem to dislike endgame but I quite liked it and have watch it and all of them on a number of occasions.

Low in the rankings, along with the Ant-Man ones, Thor 2, Black Panther, Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk. GOTG 1 was good fun though.

Really enjoyed GOTG 1
