Can't wait for the IGN review.
I stand by that because making a movie like Guardians of the Galaxy is a feat of filmmaking: bigger team, bigger production, more ambitious and larger stakes. And I think Guardians succeeds at what it sets out to do. It's supposed to be an adventure story set in a fantasy land with charming characters and nothing more. Just the amount of effort it takes to animate that damn Raccoon and make him believeable is an accomplishment.
i bet they give it a needlessly specific 7.9/10, because that 0.1makes all the difference in the world
If it's positive, we can safely write off the movie.
I am, yeah. That and Mendelson's
Fair enough. Yeah, this seems to be a matter of differing perespectives on what constitutes as a better film, in this case - between people like me and you - it's a matter of the tools and the effort to garner them and creating something vs. the execution and the effort of how it elicits a response. And at times, I've even shared the former viewpoint (see my opinion on how Prometheus isn't totally shit). But as you said, this is a matter of discussion that's worth its own thread in itself.
Because they have professional film reviewers who work in a completely different office?
The first argument doesn't really work considering most superhero films will have tens of pages of discussion before they even start shooting.
Superhero films also have so much more exposure. Announcements for when they cast actors, hire directors/writers, when they start production etc. Then you have the big marketing blitz that begins with teasers of teasers, trailers and then promotional stuff plastered everywhere. Whole different beast compared to films screened at Cannes.
Probably thinks its very cool
