That was my personal favorite too.
I need to see it again to get all the dialog I missed because of the audience reactions.

I liked it a lot better than I expected to based on the trailers. Most of Peter Quill being an unlikeable smartass was in them, so that character was a lot easier to sympathize with in the film as a whole.

Yeah, we missed the next minute or so of dialogue after Rocket revealed he was fucking with Quill about needing the leg because the whole audience was laughing so hard.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I spent most of the movie thinking "This is fun, but only on a surface level for me," but then I thought they nailed the ending and the found family thing.

I went with IMAX 3D, and I think that was a good call. More for the IMAX than the 3D.
Loved it. Very pleased.

Totally. And, during the prison fight and at The Collector's and roughly 1/3 of the whole dang movie. So much laughing and shouting.

Absolutely this, too. I expected to be rolling my eyes at the lead throughout, but ended up finding that character completely charming.
In future installments, I hope Gamora is given more dialog beyond rolling her eyes at pretty much everyone.
And, with all due respect to Amy Pond fans, I felt like Karen Gillan proved again that she can't really act her way out of a wet paper bag. She didn't have much to work with, of course, but still. On the other hand, her paint job was beautiful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
- Iron Man 1
- Incredible Hulk
- Iron Man 2
- Thor 1
- Captain America 1
- Avengers
- Iron Man 3
- Thor 2
- Captain America 2
- Guardians of the Galaxy
Which would you rate as your top 3? And which as the worst?
For me, it's 5, 1, 6, and the second Thor as the worst.

Which Incredible Hulk is that? Norton?
I still haven't seen Iron Man 3, so I'm DQed I think.

I think the Norton Hulk is considered continuity for this go round. I haven't seen it, but I voted anyway.
