saw "The Vow" by Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. I kept crying the entire movie. lol. And it wasn't even that happy of an ending. :gwah
Ah the lovely McAdams I still gotta see The Notebook.

Yeah I have trouble to see this Thor as an enjoyable main character after the first movie and the Avengers (he is better as a secondary role). I have nearly no credit to give him after his arrogance issue gone.

Iron Man 3 seems to be the best of its franchise from what I read/heard so far. Maybe I'll give it some time despite my planning.
Tony Stark is definitely charming but I would have to say Captain America and the reoccurring Agent Coulson is entertaining as well.

So which do you consider as his best? Pulp Fiction? Just curious. I personally loved Reservoir Dogs.
I still haven't seen Reservoir Dogs is it better than Pulp Fiction?

Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction is great as well. I think Jackie Brown is vastly underrated among his films as well. Not sure whether I would say if Kill Bill was better than Django Unchained or not, but I'm leaning towards no.

I agree. I thought Thor was a really bad movie. Captain America was muchhhh better.
WRONGU! JUST WRONGU

I just don't see how you could think such a thing I believe Thor is heavily being misrepresented.

I never read Thor in the comics, nor did I really care about him. I just think the movie was a nice surprise.

Ryan Gosling, Director Nicolas Winding Refn, and Composer Cliff Martinez all reunite after making Drive together. Looks pretty promising.

Dude that movie was retarded. I saw it while DRUNK and still knew it was bad. The love interest was completely underdeveloped and stupid. plot was predictable, characters were weak. Loki was the only character I even had a mild interest in, and I still didn't really care for him. Captain America wasn't as good as Iron Man, but it was still good and much better than Thor. I have no idea how it made a 77% on rottentomatoes.

Due to some dispute Regal and AMC theaters will not be selling Iron Man 3 tickets for the time being so look elsewhere for the film :-_- and apparently there's a Ratchet and Clank movie to be released in two years anyone excited?

Yeah, but seeing it drunk doesn't mean anything. In fact, an endorsement or panning when drinking means less if you think about it. I liked the look of the movie most of all, it didn't look as cheesy and stupid as a Thor movie seemed in my head. I sort of expected it to be awful, even knowing that Marvel was putting a lot of time, effort, and money into making the Avengers build up as good as possible. Loki carried the movie for the most part. I thought it was good, not great; a B-.

How was Captain America's love interest any more developed? :huh I don't watch Marvel movies for romance necessarily. I was also slightly disappointed in the Red Skull. When I found out Hugo Weaving was playing him, it seemed like a perfect casting, but it lacked impact for me. I only saw each movie once, so maybe I'll have a different opinion if I revisit them. I didn't see Captain America in theaters, so I don't know.

I'm saying it would have been a tough choice for me between those two. I didn't say Captain America wasn't good, I'm a big fan of Joe Johnston's work. But neither can touch Iron Man, I agree there.

Well in my opinion Cpn America was just cooler to me despite Weavings performance whereas Thor was not and the silly humor did not match the style of the movie.

Oh and Cap was a 79% compared to Thor 77%. Pretty close, but neither were exceptional.

I don't care or know too much about either of the characters. I was more into the X-Men and Spiderman when I was into comics. No preferential bias going on here.

But they're comics. Most of them aren't really hardboiled and all have lighthearted moments. Even Nolan's Batman movies had a pinch of that...

Ah X-men now that's a series I wish had proper treatment lore wise but while the subject is at hand I just read that Bishop and Warpath will be in the next X-men. I must say this increasingly large cast is worrisome and exciting.

I know I just felt Thors humor was done wrong.

Proper treatment? Really? I thought the first two X-Men movies were pretty good....aside from Storm :XD

The newest reboot was pretty good as well, despite me not really caring about the mutants other than Xavier and Magneto

And yeah! The sequel looks like it might be pretty bonkers. Should be exciting. The new Wolverine movie looks like it might be decent as well.

Well to be honest I was mostly referring to Wolverine films some ages and characters don't add up it happened a little in First Class as well.

Ah yeah...like the woman who seemed like Emma Frost? :XD You have to accept that the movie universe is different I guess. The first Wolverine movie was a bit of a mess, thought there were some things about it I liked.

Well this one looks interesting but I wouldn't call it his origins.

I guess what makes these supposed separate X-men movie franchises' (Origins & First Class) universe a bit confusing was the existence of Hugh Jackman in both as Wolverine.:invalid

Well they said First Class is in a different universe since the guy who directed X3 killed off important characters.
