Captain America overcame that pretty well I thought. It will depend on Captain Marvel's teaser. Shazam, though, is all Gomer Pyle.

I think Cap playing off of a WWII inspiration campaign is why it works. But connecting Gomer Pyle with the gods is gonna be tough!

About to watch "Friday" and "Next Friday" on USA. I love Day Day. He's so funny.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

If there's 2 comic book names that I don't think will transfer well to the big screen, it's gotta be "Shazam!" and "Captain Marvel". They've always both sounded cheesy/hokey.

I don't know about that, I don't think anyone expected GotG to be any good at all really.

I completely disagree. I'm not sure on what your basing your comments from other than your local connections, but once the trailer came out I think it caused quite a stir. Sort of like "Ghostbusters" when it premiered.

Offbeat doesn't equal suck.

I think he means before the trailer. There were plenty of questions about whether it would be successful or too much to introduce to the established Marvel world, from what I remember.

After the trailer, though, yeah, everyone was all in because it looked good.

Can't judge the movies mentioned until we see it in action.

Here's what they said in the movie.

Spoiler

His job said that they had Craig on some security camera stealing boxes. Fired him on the spot. They'd have to show him proof of that to me, before they could do that.

Yeah absolutely. Just like now I was skeptical of Asgard and Thor being introduced into the 'plausible' world of Iron Man, I thought Guardians was going to be damn near impossible to really pull off. I have the same skepticism for Doctor Strange and evolving from the 'its such high technology it's like magic to you' approach they took with Asgard.

They have yet to disappoint.

Watching both Hunger Games movies with coworkers today in a conference room (um, doing some work too!) in preperation for a 'date afternoon' wife wifey tomorrow.

Sadly, I was as disappointed with Thor as I thought I'd be. Asgard has no business being in that world IMO, and I haven't liked either film. I didn't even like Loki until after The Avengers, and I think that's only because I started to appreciate the actor (Hiddleston) in anything other than his films.

I enjoyed GotG, but it served its purpose as a summer popcorn flick, and I really have no more use for it.

Ender's Game. There were parts that I liked but this movie missed for me. I liked the ending game sequence but it felt a lot was missing.

I enjoyed Harrison Fords and the actor who played Ender's performance but the plot wasn't there for me.

My wife and I watched This is 40 last night. Enjoyed it. A lot of funny parts but a little long for a comedy I think.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

Sin City 2. Had my tv convert the 3D to 2D (didn't feel like wearing the glasses). Story isn't close to being as good as the first, but it sure is eye candy. Great PQ. I'm sure it must be awesome in 3D.

I think part of the problem is that the comic books had/have months and months to work through integrating the storylines. The movies have more time limitations and Marvel has seemingly had to rush through some of these in my opinion. I think this is what made Cap 1 primarily unlikeable to some; i.e., "here's the Red Skull.... and Bucky.... and now they're dead." I thought Thor 1 was a pretty good integration of the two worlds as well as depicting Asgard as "realistically" as possible, but they lost me with Thor 2 and the heavy reliance on the common Earth folk. I.M. 2 was also lost on many people, including me (I'm a Cheadle fan, but not in that role.... War Machine wasn't a necessary character and felt forced into the script) and I.M. 3 was a struggle for some, but the subsequent one-shot I think has some I.M. fans hopeful. So I think there is some level of disappointment depending on one's taste and depending on future integrations of characters with the expanse coming, we'll see how that's pulled off and if there will be enough space on the screen to handle giant melees. So far, that kind of action has been tough to pull off, it seems.
