It was good to me, borderline overkill but still enjoyable, liked it just as much as the first.:thumbsup: Looked really expensive too, enjoyed the entire cast and the action but did I mention it looked really expensive tho' ?:puzzled:I liked the fact they had a p-funk song on the soundtrack wish the flick had more of that.:yes:

Yeah, everyone I knew who had an iPod it either died or lost their music multiple times and they bought another one. On top of that they had to convert their music to iTunes. Zune, no converting. Never lost a song

Funny note re: IPods. Got a 2nd gen IPod touch in July 2009. By late-Decmber it was a brick. Wouldn't power up/recharge or sync. Wouldn't turn on. Took it to one of their stores the 1st quarter of 2010 and got a refurbished one in a little over 10 minutes. It has worked great ever since. Got a 5th gen Touch in late-2013. Works great. Surprised the refurbished older one is still going 7.5 years later - just want to recycle it but it's a podcast-playing beast.

The man you always wanted to meet gave your mother brain cancer, and the guy that was to take you to him always warned that he would eat you. Real carolines on broadway humor.
Damn man....i get your point but that's a major fkn spoiler you're posting there

Saw this movie last night the best I can say is the movie was OK. IMO nothing thrilling, it was better than the original. But its loaded with action, an interesting plot, cut jokes, great special effects but the characters (to me) just aren't that interesting. I won't bother going to see the next.

Sorry Stan, this series just doesn't work for me.

Movie was great. Tied up a major loose end from the first one.
Had comedy in it - great. But it is a comedy? Hell naw.
There was feels in this.
Baby Groot was not relied on.
Ego is a bitch.
As for there being no tie in to Thanos? Really? There was one person who kept saying towards the end that "I'm going to find and kill Thanos".

To multiple people.

And there was no tie in to Thanos? Who we see in a fight next year?

Ok.

Stan Lee cameos confirmed.

I can't say it was better or worse than the first one. This was about character development. We grew with the gang this time.

I need a miniseries of the other group, (If you watched you know what I'm talking about)
When you think about it though...Yondu...(trying not to spoil)

Did anyone else catch the time difference?

What do you mean by time difference.

We see Peters parents in 1980. Then our first scene with the gang is 34 years later. 1980 + 34 = 2014. This does not equal the events of Avengers, Avengers 2, and the rest of the gang. Couple that with *ahem* talking about taking out Thanos...add four years...the movie comes out in 2018...

You forget the folk at Marvel are fucking geniuses and have taken into account the effect of time/space differential that occurs between events observed here on earth and the time difference experienced by those in a different area of space and thus time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

In the theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational mass or masses.

A clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at a different rate when compared to a second observer's clock. This effect arises neither from technical aspects of the clocks nor from the propagation time of signals, but from the nature of spacetime.

Clocks on the Space Shuttle run slightly slower than reference clocks on Earth, while clocks on GPS and Galileo satellites run slightly faster.[1] Such time dilation has been repeatedly demonstrated (see experimental confirmation below), for instance by small disparities in atomic clocks on Earth and in space, even though both clocks work perfectly (it is not a mechanical malfunction). The nature of spacetime is such that time measured along different trajectories is affected by differences in either gravity or velocity – each of which affects time in different ways.

Oh by the way I completely pulled the first part out my ass and used google to justify :lol:

@godofwine @Helico-pterFunk i got a gen 2 laying around. It works but battery is shit. Also got a gen 2 shuffle. That thing is a tank. Been washed, ran over, etc. still working strong.

Now wouldn't be a bad time to reintroduce something like a Zoon. Refresh as the media device for your car so it can play media via Bluetooth or analog via USB or aux.

Haven't seen the movie but still wanted to add to the thread. :D

I totally agree like he trying to find fault just cause :smh:

Wheels with-in wheels.

Frankly I love it and one aspect people seem to forget ...

ALL that Marvel has done and attempt to accomplish, has been done with the B and C/D list characters and groups. Yet they still have worked around the loss or Handicap of not having these players available and shifted the story to other (lesser) groups.

Yo someone told me that Miley Cyrus was in the movie tha FUCK.
Supposedly, she was a voice character of MainFrame with the Ravager leaders at the end of the movie.
Sly is fucking StarHawk, tha fuck and Ving Rhames cameos was cool.

This movie was fun to watch, it wasn't better then the first but overall it matched the
entertainment value of the first.

I like the music that was playing throughout the film.

Being a fan of the Infinity Gauntlet comic book series back in the 90's.
I felt like a kid when Ayesha mentioned the creation of HIM aka Adam Warlock.
Adam Warlock & The Infinity Watch, one of my favorite comic books as a kid.
YES! I hope they dont fuck it up, like they did with the introduction of the Silver Silver.

I cant wait until Black Panther and Infinity Wars.
:cheers:

I hated that shit. I mean they couldn't show one Kree warrior or no Captain Mar Vell? Fuck you Marvel. See what I did there?

They built 'em well. The 2nd gen has bounced off of concrete, wood, pavement and tile. Still going fine with some hairline cracks. Use it mostly for emails and podcasts. The 5th gen gets multitasked and used for everything. Had giftcards from contest wins for Toys-R-Us and price matched it with Best Buy when they were on sale post-Christmas 2013. The 2nd gen was a bday gift years ago.
