  Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.

  Weak rhymes, 0/5.

  I have cut a caper with the dancing mad god

  I enjoy all the Marvel films they have coming out. I'm more into tv series/anime stuff than into movies, though...

  
  

  Movies are a large time commitment where I have to sit down and really pay attention to what is happening for me.

  I enjoyed the first, and I think second, films in the Iron Man franchise, but aside from that don't care.

  We can do anything if we do it together.

  I liked the first Iron Man film and I kinda want to see Guardians of the Galaxy just to see what I missed out on during my mental fog last year, but otherwise, I don't care.

  Also I missed the point of this thread, as I am currently sleep-deprived. Thus, piggybacking the spider.

  Guardians of the Galaxy was really entertaining. It had a lot of great jokes. Plus, Chris Pratt, who I already liked from Parks and Rec.

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  gotg is okay. i guess. it could be better.

  
  

  it's a solid 'ehh' from me

  The only ones I actually like, even after all this time, is Captain America, Winter Soldier, Thor, and maybe Guardians.

  
  

  All the other movies can eat my entire ass. Hmm, might enjoy that.

  I think the MCU is starting to hit that saturation point where you can like a few of the entries without having to be invested in the Whole Damned Universe. Like, I'm excited for Guardians Vol. 2 and the Ant-Man sequel, though I wouldn't necessarily mind seeing the rest they have in the pipe as well.
  
  Which isn't to say I think the series is perfect, or anything. Far from it. (I'm annoyed that they chose to adapt Civil War, for one, and the fact that they had the opportunity to do Spider-Man differently but were 'contractually obligated' to stick with the exact Peter Parker narrative we've seen twice now is gag-inducing).

  Uncle Ben as played by Martin Sheen is the true archvillain of the MCU

  I talked about that article with Section a bit elsewhere. I think Moviebob has something of a point, but he argues it in a stupid and needlessly inflammatory manner.

  I've never liked the auteur theory.

  I'll take it wherever I can get it, because the auteur theory is written deeply into our minds. We use it even when we don't think about it.

  I pretty much agree.
  
  That seems to be par-for-the-course with Moviebob, from what I've seen.

  His written work is generally much more inflammatory than his videos, as a rule
  
  Like most good critics he's also dead wrong a solid portion of the time, but he's a very interesting person to follow

  Vaguely related thing: Can we stop doing the "Critic X gave five stars to HATED THING but only 1.5 stars to LOVED THING how can we take them seriously"?

  
  Every critic worth their salt has loved a hated thing and hated a loved thing, not all of them are Armond White

  it's not quite the equivalent of giving like Illmatic the same score but it's in the same ballpark.
