'Potential'
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.
Avengers, Cap 1, and Cap 2 would be my top 3. Iron Man 2 was definitely the worst for me - all the others were at least enjoyable.
One complaint about GotG: Lee Pace as Ronan was an extremely poor match of actor and character. That role as written could have been played by one of Dave Bautista's pals from the WWE, and Pace did absolutely nothing to elevate the material.
I'm surprised to see the Thor 2 dislike. I really enjoyed it. I'd put Iron Man 2 at the bottom; it was kind of a mess.
My top three, in indeterminate order, would be Iron Man 1, Avengers and Captain America 2.
That sounds about right.
I have to totally agree with Matt, in re Lee Pace in that role.
I've enjoyed/been impressed with nearly every role I've ever seen him in, but this performance sort of threw me out of the story.
I did not see Hobbitts 2: Electric Boogaloo, so maybe my assessment would be different, but I just don't see him as a bad guy...much less a super-world-killing monster.
It's his voice. Just doesn't have that kind of gravitas. Even as a cartoony villain.
6, 9 and 1. But I haven't seen GotG yet.
IM2 was godawful.
The character in the after-credits scene? Voiced by Seth Green.
That's great.
Thor 2 was a cavalcade of idiocy that no one owned up to. It made me hiss and spit. And, as noted, it doesn't have an RDJ. Hemsworth showed zero charisma, did one cute thing.
I liked Lee Pace! It certainly feels like the season of Pace, what with Hobbits and Halt and Catch Fire and this. He was suitably angry and threatening for me.
I thought Thor 2 was a lot of fun. Not as good as the first one, but still enjoyable.
Then again, I like Iron Man 2 better than most folks (though it's not great like the original.) Haven't seen 3 yet.
The two Hulks are at the bottom of my list, though i'd still give the Norton Hulk a 3/5.
Thor 2 should have been subtitled "Thor and Loki re awesome together, and Frigga kicks ass."
I own Iron Man 2, and I fast forward through the birthday party. I love the particle accelerator parts. "We're back in hardware mode!"
I loved Iron Man 3 and The Incredible Hulk isn't bad, just mediocre in comparison to all the others.
He was suitably angry and threatening for me.
Me too.
