Just showing that the reviews have not all been amazing.

Just showing that the reviews have not all been amazing.Belgium isn't relevant thoughOne of the critics is a judge at Cannes, so I'm gonna go ahead and give him so credit for that. I'm also more inclined to listen to reviewers that don't praise any popular blockbuster and are potentially biased towards Marvel because of the comics. I personally think that's a major problem. People who are massive fans of something are more inclined to look past the flaws and give it a good review because it's a flashy and good looking flick about the super heroes they love so much. "Who cares if it's predictable, convoluted and lacking in several departments? Despite the fact that it's a mediocre movie at best, we get to see Iron Man make witty jokes and use his new suit to fight the Hulk, and the Avengers fight Ultron in a final 30 minute long action sequence referencing the upcoming movie with this amazing bad guy in it! 9/10, would watch again."As someone who's never been much of a comic book fan, I'm more inclined to take a more objective reviewer's opinion than someone who grew up adoring the Avengers and will now be satsified with the movie as long as it shows enough action. I'm not going to talk shit about a movie I haven't seen and that could very well challenge my expectations, but I am gonna take a lot of reviews with a grain of salt.

I take my movies seriously,cunt.
Also, did you say you really liked Assassin's Creed 4 somewhere back in Gaming? Just started playing it yesterday since it's free with Gold.
Quote from: Lemön | Blowjob Master on April 23, 2015, 09:24:23 AMYes. It's one of my favourite games.As an Assassin's Creed game it's pretty weak (the assassin story isn't focused on very much), but as an overall game it's bloody brilliant.What do you like so much about it?

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Hawkeye being usually shit
Hawkeye stole the show.

huge step down for marvel. proving yet again that they cant write compelling story arcs or villains.at least it was pretty and kinda funny.
