Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh, okay. This is hard. Let's see, top three: 9,6,10. It's possible that recency of viewing affects my judgement more than it should, but I'll own that. Worst: Iron Man 2. That was pretty bad.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Iron Man 3 was atrocious. I have not seen Iron Man 2 so I am startled to hear that it is worse than IM3.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I liked Iron Man 3.

I haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet. Iron Man 2 made me question whether the franchise should really keep going. I recommend against watching it, le n.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At least they had RDJ in them. My complaints about Thor 2 have no off button.

I haven't seen Thor 2. From what I know about it, I think I will feel the way some people feel about IM2.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I didn't dislike Thor 2 as much as ita apparently does, but I think it was just too MUCH.

I think IM3 was worse than Thor 2 though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

My (current) rankings are:

Avengers
Guardians of the Galaxy
Captain America 2
Iron Man 1
Captain America 1
Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 3
Thor 1
Thor 2
Iron Man 2

I change my mind often on this, though.

The Norton Hulk film holds up surprisingly well, although it kind of falls apart in the third act, as a lot of the Marvel films do.

Thor 2 was okay by me.

Hey. New board.

Avengers
Captain America 2
Captain America 1
Iron Man 1
Iron Man 3
Thor 1
Iron man 2

The only one I found even remotely "bad" was Iron Man 2, though I found it rollicking fun enough. I enjoy RDJ in the role and like the Iron Man movies but they've never grabbed my investment as much as the others.

I haven't seen the others. I don't really want to see Hulk. I didn't really know Thor 2 was considered bad and will probably see it someday. I cannot see Guardians of the Galaxy soon enough, but life isn't really helping with that at the moment.
