I was thinking about seeing GOTGV2 this weekend. WBill Jr. wants to see it, he's a fan of most things Marvel.

So.... it's pretty Blah? Maybe see in at an IMAX and enjoy the spectacle? Or is it even worth a couple of hours of my time?

Also - FWIW if you like Space Operas - The Fifth Element is being re-released this weekend for its 20th (??) anniversary. I'll likely need to go see it in a theater again.

FWIW, I have the same test for movies that I do for fiction: If I forget I'm reading a book or watching a movie, then the book/movie works for me. I did that with GOTG. In the sequel, the acting and CGI was terrific. But I kept being annoyed while I watched V2, big time with the script, which I continually rewrote in my head. The editing, I kept thinking of all the bits that should have been whacked. And the direction. Grrrr.... Let's put it this way, while I'm glad I went, I won't buy the movie to watch again. FWIW :-)

I thought The 5th Element was underrated.

It’s sorta odd.

That's one of my top "Bad Movies that is SO MUCH FUN to watch!"... "Anyone else want to negotiate?"
