    I can't remember the reception on SL. The 3rd act was basically Transformers.
    The only Marvel movies I've liked were Iron Man (2008) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
    Guardians of the Galaxy was okay. I liked the soundtrack. Haven't seen the Avengers: The Age of Ultron or Ant Man.

    My opinions are super controversial. Come at me, bro.

    I thought it was a decent movie but there were some issues (the cinematography being the biggest one).

    I didn't like it. I saw it in theatres with a group of friends but came out with zero fulfillment and can't say I can recall anything I enjoyed about the movie.

    Then again, I don't really f--- with any of the MCU movies.

    thought avengers was good but not amazing like everyone i know seems to think it is

    avengers age of ultron on the other hand was a f---ing stupid mess tho

    think gotg is overrated due the third act sucking major balls

    It starts with this white guy, and the opening sequences sort of establishes his backstory. He spouts one-liners, oozes charisma, and is more built than the average white guy. There are a bunch of dank memes that originate from him. Some are quite funny.

    There are also side-characters. There is one attractive female character that the lead falls for, and but she is pretty much a blank slate the lead bounces flirtations and jokes off.

    The lead hero has a good relationship with all of his comrades. Also all of them can be 'funny' when given the opportunity.

    There's also a villain. He sort of comes and goes whenever the narrative requires his presence. He kinda has a few scenes and lines that vaguely explains his backstory and motivation. But nothing more. And he eventually tries to k--- a bunch of people, including the lead hero. I'm using 'tries' loosely here as he is basically in the movie just to ultimately be a non-threatening punching bag for the hero.

    Also, the supervillain is played by a good actor.

    The third act has a lot of explosions, shooting and, generally, things getting destroyed. Other than being assaulted by the usual Hollywood spectacle, you don't feel the tension at all, and the main (good) characters are never in peril, but the stakes are through the roof.

    I hope the description is good enough. Any idea which MCU genre movie this is?

    sorry

    the fight scenes were wasted in the final act, and ronan never get's a real showdown with the gotg... and then that cringey f---ing dance off ending instead of a fight. Gay af

    When you call something gay, my whole point of view changes.

    I grew up on Batman: The Animated Series and the Burton movies. Comics have been around since the 30s.
    It's really not hard to see why. Geek culture is booming.
