Alien covenant - I read Scott wanted to tell the story of the engineers - fuck knows why they decided to do a bad cover of the shit bits in all of the previous films. 

 

The Dark Tower - might have worked as a pilot for a TV series. As a "major" film it failed badly.

Went to see the new Avengers film last night.  After the last Avengers and the last Captain America (not to mention Dr Strange, Black Panther and Spiderman) I wasn't really expecting too much but I was very pleased to find out that I really enjoyed it.  Right from the start there seemed to be a real threat that major characters would probably be killed off (even if you still imagine that there would be a fair chance they'd come back in some form in the future given that it's a Marvel film and you regularly see that happening in comics and lets face it, they are a cash cow for them) that made for much more interesting action scenes.  They also managed to bring the comedic elements from the last Thor film and the Guardian's films which I think is where Marvel films usually fail or succeed.

Haven't seen it yet, but as soon as I saw David "Spoiler" Kelly had posted about it, I quickly scrolled down.

Really looking forward to this.

I've not said anything about what happens in it, just what I felt could happen right from the the start of it.

Sure, but you've got form, so I figured better safe than sorry.

Don't believe Gemmils hype.  I'm amazed you've not seen it already tbh.  It was really only because there's fuck all else on at the moment that we went to see it.  My mate hadn't seen the second Avengers or Dr Strange so there was a few people he had no idea who they were.  He still managed to enjoy it though.

Dunno if I'd have it better than Guardians but I certainly enjoyed it more than most.

Action scenes were better imo and the film had more... heart?

Before I decide to watch this in 6 months time, do I have to have seen the other 1500 tie-in movies beforehand AND how much of the script is made up of "witty" one-liners and wise cracks? Anything more than 10% and it's a no from me.

Don’t need to have seen all of them at all. Having seen the last captain America will certainly help but since it’s turgid I’d advise against it. Same with the previous avengers.  You can probably get away without seeing dr strange, black panther, the second guardians, Spider-Man and the last Thor (although I thoroughly enjoyed Thor and guardians). 

Quite a bit of the one liners but there’s plenty of them that come from the guardians and Thor and as such are fine imo.

Agreed. I’ve had too much to drink to work the spoilers thing so I’ll not elaborate. 

 

I agree with Fish that Thanos is a good bad guy. Don’t think it had more heart than the first guardians. Second maybe.

I mean you could ask someone to summarise the last 18(?) films that lead up to this film, but watching them all is more fun and not at all geeky.
