Do you ever not troll Marvel threads? I mean you basically admitted to it in the DCEY thread recently.

There is literally no logic to what you just said.

Don't take the bait. Let him enjoy his sub-50% movies.

 

[Slayven]

I think you are reading way too much into what seems like a fun easter egg

Then why even have easter eggs/

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

Geez, this thread is all doom and gloom. The reviews seem great to me. It's sitting at 90+ on rotten tomatoes.

Ya . Nick Fury in the after credit of IRONMAN 1 was only a fun Easter egg . Look where that got us lol.

PLEASE USE THE SPOILER THREAD.

There shouldn't be any discussion of possible cameos in here guys, please.

Yup. Sorry Got too excited.

Comic book movies bring out the craziness in GAF. Review threads are particularly insane.

He can't help himself.

You should also mention Lebron James for some giggles too.

 

[Salty Rice]

Reviews sound good to me.

Its biggest flaw its not as good as the first movie what i not expected in the first place.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Anyway, movie sounds great. It was always going to be hard to live up to the first film because of the impact it had and that seems to be the main sticking point.

 

[Dalek]

90% on RT eh? I'm waiting for the tone of this thread to change from "I knew this would suck!" to "looks like the checks cleared"!

Wonder Woman review thread is one of my most anticipated event this year on GAF.

Reviews are solid of course, but not particularly inspiring.

Justice League is the one I'm looking forward to

 

[Blader]

If you ignore the utterly awful second act twist that basically ruins the MCU as a setting. God, that was so damn stupid.

Huh? Are you talking about HYDRA in SHIELD?

Feige never sends me the checks on time

I knew I should've shacked up with Soros

Soros is also a deadbeat, I haven't got a single cent for any rally or march I've been to.

 

[AndersK]

Wonder Woman review thread is one of my most anticipated event this year on GAF.

Nah. I don't see it. Justice League is where its at. BvS might be might a top 5 gaf thread in the boards lifetime. Wondy isn't enough of an event if you ask me.

 

[Dalek]

Justice League is the one I'm looking forward to

My most anticipated movie event of the year.

 

[valeo]

It's more Age of Ultron than IM2. I find IM2 to be plain boring. GOTG2 is still fun and fantastic to look at but a bit lacking in direction and cohesiveness of the first one.

Yep, it definitely has an Age of Ultron vibe to it.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I don't think any movie thread will ever compare to BvS', ever.


Unless like Infinity War sucks.

 

[dabig2]

Nah. I don't see it. Justice League is where its at. BvS might be might a top 5 gaf thread in the boards lifetime. Wondy isn't enough of an event if you ask me.

Not as much an event, really no expectations beyond hoping it's serviceable, nor does the director have the history and fame of the "visionary" Snyder.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Unless like Infinity War sucks.

I can't imagine that would hugely surprise people, given how absurdly jam-packed that film is going to be. Balancing all those characters appropriately at a narrative level is going to be one hell of a feat.

Maybe the Justice League thread if it ends up being as bad/good as BvS.

Lmfao. I think the Russos have more than proved themselves.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Nah, everyone's expecting Justice League to suck. The BvS thread was so big because we all thought this was gonna be the movie that WB finally gets right, only for it to be the complete opposite of that.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Lmfao. I think the Russos have more than proved themselves.

I mean that in a positive way. They are used to directing several characters and being able to give each one a narrative weight.

 

[SYNTAX182]

Oh, so a sequel succeeds at being a sequel. Sounds good to me.

 

[jon bones]

actually, this is sounding perfect

a little less 'fun', a little more focus on developing the characters

 

[FireBeaver]

90% on Rotten Tomatoes. So a slight drop in quality, but not as big as Avengers to Age of Ultron.

 

[Servbot24]

Comicbook.com: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a strong follow up to the spectacle that is its predecessor. The lack of focus in its second act doesn't stop Vol. 2 from being a worthy follow-up loaded with surprisingly delightful performances, moving character moments, and action sequences which can please even the biggest comic book fans' imaginations.

5 of out 5 stars.

"This movie has a lot of things in it. 5/5"

I've not seen the movie, this quote is just funny and sad at the same time.

I don't know which will be better, the WW one or the Justice League one,

It's pathetic.

 

[LosDaddie]

From the people in the FB Omnibus group I'm in that have already watched GotG 2, they said there's plenty of Marvel Cosmic mentions.

More universe-building was what I wanted most from this movie, and it seems as if that's the case. So I'm good.

There's a handful of faithful anti-MCU/DC-GAF posters in every thread. You just come to expect it.

Everyone else just wants good movies from MCU and DCEU.

 

[Blader]

Wonder Woman being bad would be unfortunate. Justice League being bad would be expected but still kinda funny.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

In terms of critical reception Marvel have been nailing it with Phase 3 so far.

 

[Kalentan]

The Justice League one could be even worse if just for one simple fact...

Thor Ragnarok. Seriously, that thread is going to be crazy if Thor Ragnarok hits it out of the park and then if Justice League does bad.

Honestly makes me wonder what the BvS thread would have been like had Civil War come out first.

Damn, Bronx.


So from the look of this. It seems like more of the same stuff from GoTG Vol.1?

Then that's great, that's all I wanted. Can't wait to see it next week.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I sadly had to look up who that was.

 

[BadAss2961]

I've read that post 6 times and still don't know what he's actually trying to argue.

Usually when something incredible releases, the direct sequel goes in with the kind of momentum that at least takes a brief period of reflection to realize how mediocre it was. Only if it's pretty fucking terrible, or the original wasn't really that great to begin with would you get that fart in the wind effect before you've even left the theater. I'm going with the latter since it's predictable that this will generally be more of the same stuff.

 

[Replicant]

Thor 2 finally met its match.

Nah. Thor 2 wishes it's GOTG2, aka an entertaining film that left some food for thoughts. There's story development here.

Hell, Thor 2 prob wishes it's IM3.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

If Thor: Ragnarok ends up being great and Justice League sucks, this is gonna be one of those times where what we thought was crazy talk 2 years ago is actually reality.

 

[guek]

90% on Rotten Tomatoes. So a slight drop in quality, but not as big as Avengers to Age of Ultron.

70 MC though, though a lot of reviews are yet to post. The first got a 76 for comparison. I'm hoping it settles at 73-75 but it could go down too.

No, that makes absolutely no sense.

But you also just said in the DCEU thread that Suicide Squad making as much money as Civil War on Blu-ray means that, clearly, more people liked Suicide Squad than Civil War.

So your logic is kind of all over the place in general.

 

[Alienfan]

90% on RT eh? I'm waiting for the tone of this thread to change from "I knew this would suck!" to "looks like the checks cleared"!

After seeing the general disappointment at my screening and the spoiler OT, I fully expect it to go the other way to be honest. We'll see I guess, but I'll be surprised if it remains at 90% and doesn't drop like most RT early scores do. I really hope most enjoy it, but I also hope Disney fix the tonal and pacing problems in the next film; I predict that's going to be the general sentiment post-release.
