News Round Up 2017

Well - maybe, hopefully, the RottenTomatoes score (currently "only" 83% fresh) will go up over the weekend... I have hope!

I'm a little sad/disappointed that GotG Vol. 2 hasn't gotten better reviews. I *loved* the first one and I was really hoping for this one to be just as good, if not better. (I'm also frustrated that my DH called it and said it probably wouldn't be as good as the first one. )

I liked it a lot better than the first one. I'm already looking forward to seeing it again.

I thought it was better then the first one and Rocket and Groot were both much more detailed then in the first one. Great opening sequence too. Seen it 3 times in 6 days already

@Mackenzie Click-Mickelson - I know. It's an expectations game. I think the first one was such a surprise hit. Not many people knew anything about The Guardians, so expectations were low. And now, since it was such a huge success, the expectations for the sequel were probably really high.

I am not sure when we'll go see it...hopefully next week.

I agree. I remember being excited to see the first one because it was a Marvel movie but also because of the actors/actresses and the theme of the movie itself but I was really surprised at how much I liked it. I didn't expect to laugh as much as I did. It's true that expectations are higher now. I will say I wasn't super super excited to see Doctor Strange because of the theme of the movie but I was again surprised by how much I liked it. I'd say if you've got the chance to see Vol. 2 go for it. Sometimes we wait a bit longer after the inital release if we're on the fence about seeing a movie so we can get more of a feel from what others think about a given movie.

83% is very good to me at least. We know it could change and so could the users ratings and just like you I'm hoping it raises. In regards to the User Ratings it has 89% liked it....but to me the more important number is how many people it's counting.....that is currently 61,888 and I'd say that for a movie that just came out it gives a good pool of people to get an idea.

i would say typically they go down

I saw it last friday, and I really liked it. I think it was a bit too long and some plot points were kind of difficult to understand, but overall it was very enjoyable, very unique visually speaking, and with great humor. It clearly exploits what made the original a big hit: music, humor and Baby Groot.

Though I think the soundtrack was better last time.

 

[Brocktoon]

Saw GotG 2 as well, and thought it was great. But as others mentioned, for the general public it's just not going to hit them as unique or 'outside the box' as vol 1 was. The audience already knows what to expect from a humor / action point of view.

I suspect Deadpool 2 (not Disney produced) will run into some of the same issues

 

[Delano Fiedler]

I think some of you care too much about other people reviews of a movie. I enjoyed GotG 2, fun 2 hours.

Do we know if he signs autographs?

 

[CampbellzSoup]

I think that particular Star Lord looks a bit mistcasted

No need to be rude. It's great if you don't care at all about reviews of movies, it's great if others do care about reviews of movies. Neither is wrong but there's no need to put down others who don't have the same opinion as you do when looking at interest in a movie.

Haven't seen that yet.

I got the chills too and the music they were playing I thought worked really well with their theme. I foresee some music that gets stuck in my head in my future

I agree. That was a nice touch to give a bit of a background into the inner workings of the show.

Yeah, I was worried at first that this would be more projection than anything but the more I see the more I think I will like this show better than Wishes.

It looks like we finally have a preview of the whole theme song for Happily Ever After! I am now really looking forward to this show! If you would like to hear the song, as well as, see some testing for the show, click the link below:

I'm assuming a lot of the filming was filmed the other night.

I agree. I still like the classic (well ok classic to me) of fireworks and whatnot so I was concerned that Disney would just go full on projection or do too much projection and not enough balance with other stuff but nope they did not do what I was concerned about and now I'm super super excited to see it.
