Ha. Ragnarok was one of the few Marvel movies I'd want to see again. Much better than the first couple Thors, especially the second. That, Guardians 1, and the most recent Spiderman are probably my favorites. They're also the funniest, which is probably why. If there's not some humor I have a hard time engaging with them. I mean they're all fine, competently made action movies, and Black Panther is probably the best of the more straightforward ones.

I saw Avengers this past weekend and it was better than I expected, and funnier. They kept it surprisingly light in parts while making the higher stakes feel pretty real in the big moments. I'd say it also takes good advantage of your knowledge of the characters, assuming you've seen the other movies. Lots of payoff in the pairings and personality clashes - reminded me of Game of Thrones in that way.

I'm guessing most of the deaths are reversed in the next movie, and some of the big names who are still alive die permanently in the next movie

i'll see it once the crowds die down...i'm a comic book movie guy, so i'll def see it in the theaters

that being said, the last marvel move, thor ragnarok, was one of the most awful things i've seen. just garbage (made the DC movies look great), so hoping it's nothing like that one. thanos looks ridiculous in the trailers (much much worse than steppenwolf in justice league), and am hoping i don't notice the ridiculousness in the full length of the movie
I loved Ragnarok.

Will probably see Infinity war this weekend with Stinky.

Ragnarok is great. Infinity War is good. The thing they have in common is that finally someone let Thor be dumb and funny.

To the joy of many on GRB and most likely Mrs. Wart, I was killed.
Glad i have some good life insurance...I wonder how they would pay that out...

Hostiles - A dumb western that is about the hopeless pointlessness of violence but never seems to learn it's own lesson.
Yeah, it was dumb in that regard. I think it worth a watch though. I had low expectations since I saw it was On Demand so soon - and at least it met those. I tend to enjoy Christian Bale as well as Rosamund Pike performances.
