Guardians of the Galaxy.  That's twice now that Marvel has pleasantly suprised me with a movie that I wasn't expecting high things from. In fact, not only did I not have high expectations but I thought I would actually hate this film.  Now, I'm not convinced this film is as good as everyone else seems to be saying it is but damn that was a fun ride.

It has also occured to me that 3 of the best movies I've seen this year so far are comic book movies. Not only that but they aren't among the best simply by comparison with everything else I've seen being a bit shit; they were genuinely excellent films on their own merits.  This is a strange time in which we live.  Strange, but awesome.

Lemme guess, none of them were DC movies?
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

Yup (have any DC movies even come out this year?) all Marvel.  Well, more accurately 2 Marvel movies and one Fox movie with Marvel characters (Days of Future Past) .

I rewatched the Avengers and noticed something funny: in Natasha's first scene (the interrogation), she manages to disable an attacker by flipping her hair in his face. Yes, she's supposed to have hit him with the back of her head, but it's just funnier to think that she can defeat someone by whipping her hair back.

Actually, you're right. I was thinking Man of Steel, but that released last summer.

Marvel is pumping out more than one movie a year with strong female and minority characters and incorporating tons of minor characters, continuity nods, and basing movies on their more obscure properties. Meanwhile, DC struggles for a year or more to scrape up a single gritty grimdark adaptation of the exact same two superheroes they've made movies of for decades and rebooting after two or three films. They won't even give Wonder Woman here own film yet.

Guardians of the Galaxy. Loved it, but was severely disappointed at the lack of Zoe Saldana toplessness, even if only from the back. False advertising, I say!

Planning on seeing that tomorrow with the roomie, as well as enjoying the weather.  Oh yes, so looking forward to it.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

It's excellent, basically.  It's also interesting to me the fact that a bunch of CGI apes felt more like real people and provoked more genuine emotion and sympathy from me than any of the actual human beings in Transformers 4...hell, they did that better than the human characters in a lot of movies.

Be warned though this is a movie about characters and story, this is not an action movie (even though these is action towards the end).  If you're expecting a "monkey shooty shooty go bang bang" film you're gonna have a bad time, which I think was the case with the fucking twat who sat next to me, who was fidgeting and yawning and sighing with boredem like you'd expect from a fucking 4 year old not a grown man there with his girlfriend (as you might be able to tell this fuckwad really pissed me off).
