What Is The Last Movie You Saw

[Hawg73]

Took my boys to see Guardians of the Galaxy 3 tonight. They are my favorite films from the MCU and this is a solid 3rd installment. Your only prerequisite is to have enjoyed the first two films and you won't be disappointed. Solid 7/10.

I went to see it at Gillette last weekend in Real3D. It was arguably the best MCU film since Endgame, but I agree was not quite to the level of GOTG 1 or 2. A 7 of 10 is fair. The soundtrack was disappointing to me, but I'll take it as a step in the right direction overall. I'm trying to hang in there after some tepid Marvel efforts, but I felt confident they couldn't fuck this one up.

I think the worst thing Marvel has done is to introduce the Multiverse and quantum realm which are needlessly complex and chaotic. Dead people are supposed to stay dead or
nothing means anything and Kevin Feige seems to think we'll keep swallowing whatever he serves up. It's getting to the point where I eyeroll every time I hear the phrase time
travel. It's not fun anymore, but that is why Guardians is so good. It's fun and the characters are comical.

Think of the scene from Guardians 1 where Quill puts his headphones on a curious Gamora and tries to seduce her with "Fooled Around and Fell in Love". It almost works, but
she catches on and rips them off her head and tells him, at knifepoint, "I am not some starry-eyed waif here to succumb to your pelvic sorcery". That's it there.

Let's hope he looks at the box office results from this one and realizes that it's the characters and sharp writing that drives the bus and not the CGI.

Really curious to see the 2020 Dark Tower pilot that was made, looks like based on the 4th book. Some interesting casting choices. Can't find it anywhere except as a record on IMDB.

Anyone know how to see it?

I’ve always felt that The Dark Tower would make for an amazing series of films if done correctly. Director Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep), has expressed interest in taking on the project. He said he already has the opening of the movie in his head. The sound of wind blowing, and appearing on a black screen the words “The man in black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed”.

GOTG has a better ensemble cast than the Avengers films. They are just plain FUN,

I agree on the quantum realm, it's basically a plot copout to ensure you have carte blanche to retell any and every story, leaving an absence of finality to everything we've watched up to this point and that will never sit well with me. My son predicted this and although he enjoyed it, tapped out on the MCU after the last Dr. Strange, as a result. Can't say I blame him.

I've always been intrigued with the "jump the shark" moment when a show starts to turn bad.

It's hard to say exactly when this happened with the MCU or if it has actually happened yet, so vast is the landscape. It might not be terminal just yet, but
there are so many characters brought back from death now that it's getting really hard to buy into anybody getting fully killed off, outside of off-field issues
like Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror. The final scene of Quantamania with hundreds of Kangs made me sick. Maybe we caught a break when he got
in trouble because Feige has a chance to move away from the whole mess and get back to something more comprehensible. Maybe.

Shit, if you can bring back Bucky Barnes and Phil Coulson, and all the rest of them, why not just bring back Tony Stark and T'Challah? How about Captain America and Peggy Carter? Bring everybody back.

Walking away from this is like quitting cigarettes. There is a part of your brain that just refuses to relent, but even though I got that done I'm not ready to quit the
MCU. I keep hoping that they go back to the original canon and stick to one timeline.

Cocaine Bear. And that's an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. 🤦‍♂️

Kudos for admitting that you went to see it, every time I saw the trailer I just couldn't believe that they actually made a movie out of it.

Well I didn't actually go to the theater. We were at the family cabin this weekend. There's no cable, internet or cell phone service for that matter so we went to the red box to rent a couple movies and my son requested that one. I was actually excited to watch it because I'm usually a sucker for a bad movie but this was bad even by my standards.

Ha! I went to the movies to see it on my birthday and loved it. #NoShameInMyGame
