GotG was the most "fun" I have had at a movie in a long, long time.

maybe since Avengers.

maybe it is just meant to be fun, and not taken seriously enough to debate plot holes or why the bad guy is not scary enough?

- um, dude? - groiny Sep 2, 10:01 18
  - A month after release ...really? -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:17 12
    - yeah. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:17 11
      - Noted. What is the acceptable time table on things like that these days? - Capstern Sep 2, 10:20 10
        
        If you want to use common courtesy, forever. It doesn't hurt to use the spoiler subject. -- nm - Shaun Sep 2, 10:26
        
        The fact that I saw the movie the day before release was an astounding anomaly. Normally I have to wait for things to come out on Netflix Canada, so.. - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:23 4
        
        Hmmm so ok to say the dude escapes the prison in (spoiler) - Capstern Sep 2, 10:25 3
        
        Escape Plan isn't even worth talking about, let alone spoiling. LOL - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:27 2
        
        was trying to be funny....(spoiler) - Capstern Sep 2, 10:30 1
        
        no trying about it, that was funny. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:30
        
        I would say not everyone can get out to the theater to see something they want. - groiny Sep 2, 10:21 3
        
        Good to know. And honestly saw that one as pretty lame (spoilers) as quality goes - Capstern Sep 2, 10:24 2
        
        (spoils) - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:26 1
        
        (spolier) - Capstern Sep 2, 10:28
  - fixed. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:02 4
    - nice work. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:03 3
      - It's only a band-aid fix. He'll post again. -- nm - Qale Sep 2, 10:07 2
        
        girl, you so catty! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:08 1
        
        you spelled that last word wrong -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:17
It does sometimes seem like people watch movies just looking for things to tear apart -- nm - con_carne Sep 2, 09:59 1
- for sure, this is a part of it as well. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 10:01
Respectfully, the plot holes or weak villain are things that do detract from films - Will Hunting Sep 2, 09:51 2
- I do see what you're saying, perhaps moreso than groiny, but I definitely 100% got my money's worth out of GotG. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 09:54
- not once had I even thought about who was playing the villan in the movie. - groiny Sep 2, 09:53
Haven't seen it or Avengers. Just doesn't interest me -- nm - CQ Sep 2, 09:47
There are all kinds of people, with all kinds of opinions, here. I'm on your side on GotG, though. Super fun movie. - Beryllium Sep 2, 09:45
Thus the Michael Bay comparison... -- nm - David Sep 2, 09:45 11
- And sometimes people just like to escape and watch stuff blow up - especially at $4.25 for a matinee -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:02 1
  - Speak for yourself. -- nm - David Sep 2, 10:17
- I think that's an unfair comparison. The closest GotG-Bay comparison would be Armageddon, and GotG is lightyears better than that. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 09:48 6
  - You know that Bay directed Armageddon, right? -- nm - David Sep 2, 09:49 4
    - ... you know that I know that, right? and that's what I was comparing? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 09:51 2
      - I honestly wasn't sure. -- nm - David Sep 2, 09:51 1
        
        The film in Bay's directorial career that most closely resembles GotG in theme and substance is, in my opinion, Armageddon. And GotG is superior. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 09:52
    - that is kind of his point. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 09:50
  - (And I'm sure people know I like Armageddon) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 09:48
- well, he keeps getting jobs, so he must be doing something right too. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 2, 09:47 1
  - He's the master of commercial cinema. -- nm - David Sep 2, 09:48
