Merged: The Movies Thread

[JPPT1974]

Went to see a double feature-

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty-9/10 Got to love Ben Stiller! Different role for him!
Grudge Match-8/10 Kevin Hart was a little annoying and funny at the same time.

have you seen ben stiller's movie called Goldberg? I am imagining he plays a role similar to that in mitty and i want to check it out. kinda awkward dark comedy


it took us about a week to get through the Benjamin Button movie and the first 30 mins or so were cool, unique idea but man that movie ultimately sucked.

Guardians of the Galaxy. Hands down the best movie of the year and the best movie Marvel has put out to date. It was simply incredible. You'll regret not seeing this. Even has pulled a 96% fresh rating off of RT.

Where would you rank it compared to other comic book movies? I've heard some people say it is better than the Dark Knight.

Better than any of the other comic book movies sans The Dark Knight perhaps. Comparing the two is really hard because one is so dramatic/intense while the other one is loose and fun with incredible characters. James Gunn absolutely knocked it out of the park with the casting and characters brought to life. The theater cheered afterwards because those guys were so entertaining.

I'll say this, a tree and a raccoon are my new favorite heros. Those guys fucking owned.

Another bonus treat is the sound track. I'll most likely be going back for a second viewing this weekend.

I agree, great movie. The characters were all really well cast and developed (even Vin Diesel was awesome as Groot; which is pretty amazing for a CGI character with literally one line) and the humor was probably the best part of the movie. Every time it got to a scene that would normally be cheesy or sappy, they threw in a joke or two. Effects were ridiculously good and it never seemed to lag.

Definitely worth seeing in the theater.
