Guardians in the galaxy are actually some of the better marvel filmsI've never been a fan of those comic films, but my youngest worked on Black Widow so I thought I ought to give it a go.. I really enjoyed BW, so watched the Avengers films in order. They were so/so but OK
So I have gone for Disney's 'in timeline order', and started watching them all. I'm not sure the timeline quite works but have quite enjoyed them so far. Just finished Iron Man 3 and thought it was the best of all 3 IM's
Captain America, Winter Soldier next which should be good. But then it's Guardians of the Galaxy stuff. I'll just miss those two out
Thor Ragnarok is my favourite so far. Definitely the funniest.
"I really wish I had my hammer."
"Hammer?"
"Quite unique. It was made from this special metal from the heart of a dying star. And when I spun it really, really fast it gave me the ability to fly."
"You rode a hammer?"
"No, I didn’t ride the hammer."
"The hammer rode you on your back?"
"No. I used to spin it really fast, and it would pull me off the..."
"Oh, my God. The hammer pulled you off?"
"The ground. It would pull me off the ground, up into the air, and I would fly. Every time I threw it, it would always come back to me."
"Sounds like you had a pretty special and intimate relationship with this hammer"
Went to see Thor Love and Thunder last week with my daughter and I thought I was watching a comedy film for the first half. Russel Crowe's appearance was amusing and I didn't even realise Christian Bale was in it until the credits came up!
I'm not really bothered by DC films but if I had to hold one superhero movie as the very best of that genre then it would be Dark knight, it manages to rachet up the tension and anticipation that no other movie of this genre has come close to, there is a scene in where the lorries and the security van are in a chase where they don't use music to enhance your emotions it is just raw chase footage which felt fresh and powerful
It's a good film, but one that causes problems as the basis of a franchise. I feel that DC have boxed themselves into a corner with their gritty tone.
MArvel do films that are eseentially comedies, and others with serious issues at their heart, such as Winter Solider, Black Panther and even Infinity War.
