"Monsters University"

Didn't really have a story, unless "How Mike and Sully became friends" is a story. Didn't really have an antagonist. And the happy ending denoument was surprisingly rushed.

Better than "Cars 2", not as good as "Brave", and definitely not the return to form for Pixar.

They've really been hit and miss from the beginning, IMO.

Last night I watched The Avengers on netflix and I have no idea why. While watching it I wondered if anyone was excited for Iron Man 3 so I googled it and I found out it grossed over 1 billion dollars. Good lord, people, are your lives that boring?

I also noticed they are making new Captain America and Thor movies. I swear to God you suck at life if you are excited about that.

I'm so sick of all these super hero movies. It's time to move on.

I do like batman.

i didn't like captain america, but thor was awesome...and i'm excited about the second one.

and the avengers was pretty damn good as well.

There are definitely too many, though I thought Avengers was a lot of fun. Captain America and Thor individually were pretty lame.

and the people that hate superhero movies, are probably the types that enjoy the crap that Terrence Malick puts out there...i'd slit my wrists before watching a Terrence Malick movie.

i go to the movies to watch watch [expletive] get blown up and entertain me for a couple hours...not to enlighten/teach me crap. if i have to "think" about the plot of the movie, then it sucks, and i don't want to see it.

Conversely.

I like both.

I love super hero movies. I love classic movies. I love Film Noir. I love great comedies. I love a lot of different types of movies, including super hero movies. I hate bad movies. I thought Avengers was a very fun movie and was "good" for what it was. I don't confuse fun with theatrical. But there is good fun and bad fun. Man of Steel was bad fun.

Here's another one: GI Joe. I was the biggest GI Joe fan growing up. This movie was what I dreamed of as a kid. I was so excited to finally see my childhood fantasies played out on the big screen. What did I get? A horrible movie. It was unwatchable. And because of my love for the toy and cartoon and comic when I was a kid, I tried to watch it twice.

The Avengers is probably the best executed non Batman movie of the bunch and yet I didn't like it on any level. Those movies have become so repetitive and predictable that I can't enjoy them anymore.

This is pretty much the problem. There are diminishing returns at a certain point. You can only destroy a big city and save it so many times. Avengers only succeeds because of Whedon's dialogue, Robert Downey Jr, and the Hulk.

Though I don't think it's so different from the hundred or so Westerns released during the 50s and 60s on movies and TV. The bulk of those were forgettable and and you have about 10-20 that stand the test of time.

If it weren't for Terrance Malick, we'd never know what an autistic Pocahontas would look like. I'd just like to see that character as a villain in a comic book movie.

I love Del Toro, and have hopes for the movie, but the TV spots for Pacific Rim are very Bay.
