Enormously entertaining and emotionally engaging goes together and Marvel gets it right more times than not.

How often can you use the word superb and mean it? This movie really is superb.

"Plus, just like you couldn't have Thor call all his Asgardian buddies to help stop the invasion in Avengers, you can't have Stark call up a ton of drones to handle a problem in Avengers 2." That's why it'll be the toughest balancing act in history when you add The Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Ms. Marvel.

Start the same thread in Captain America The Winter Soldier!

Why does it have to be over the first to be enjoyed? You can like this a lot but still think the first is better. Yet, if you prefer more action, this movie delivers more in that regard.

Who here doesn't have a crush on Jaimie Alexander? I think we all do.

Even Marvel One-Shot short films are better than 80% of regular movies at the cinema. How is that possible?

[–] SloberDon 11 years ago

Make Mine Marvel.

[–] StarkTech 11 years ago

Marvel really is breaking new ground with every film in their pipeline. Think about it.

[–] ba_bam_bam 11 years ago

So many smart textures to this film.

[–] MovieMystro 11 years ago

I really liked the family dynamic of this film and how the great villains challenged it all.

[–] Logan8888 11 years ago

It's one messed up family but with a stolen son and a century of strife what's not to expect?

Stan Lee always said you have to think of the fans first. I'm glad Marvel is still doing that even though they are a billion dollar studio now.

[–] assman200 11 years ago

Stan Lee knew that the way to build Marvel was to make it seem like a private club that few knew about but was the coolest club on the planet. An insider mentality no matter how big it actually got.

[–] StarkTech 11 years ago

I'm so glad Stan will appear in Guardians of The Galaxy.

[–] IronBallsM 11 years ago

He said today he wants to appear in Batman v Superman. How cool would that be?

[–] sidfargas 11 years ago

None could say it better.

[–] assman200 10 years ago

What else is there to say except Sid knows what's up?

[–] scotts863 10 years ago

Could it be argued that this movie was the best comic book film of 2013?

[–] blackdoug 10 years ago

Jimmy Fallon said HEY HEY HEY when talking about this movie.

[–] UMWolvie2442 11 years ago

This was the more serious Guardians of the Galaxy.

[–] sacflyzone 11 years ago

The Guardians soundtrack is magic.

Can GOTG 2 match this sequel's brilliance?

[–] Allswell007 10 years ago

GOTG fell short and so will the sequel I would bet.

[–] sacflyzone 10 years ago

Just what I wanted.

Jane needed to be the one to find the infinity gem no matter what guise it took. It's linked to her now.

Is there a better all round villain than Hiddleston's Loki?

Nope.

[–] ba_bam_bam 9 years ago

What if Tony Stark is the villain in Civil War???????

[–] sacflyzone 9 years ago

Tony and Steve are both the antagonists and protagonists in the film. It's masterfully written and why all the critics love it.

[–] McGrit 9 years ago

That's what will happen in Ragnarok. We'll sympathize with both Thor and Banner and feel for each of them.

Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings delivered a lot of spectacle all by themselves if you know what I mean.
