Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

I've got tickets to see Alien Covenant on Wednesday in 2D IMAX. Can't wait!

Saw it, and was pretty disappointing TBH. They skipped over some key things raised in Prometheus, purely to bring it in line with the "Alien prequel" direction.

Sorry. That's how I felt after seeing "Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2,"

I loved the first one so much - it just made me feel good every time I thought about it. The new one was darker and I thought trying too hard to inject humor where there was none. Bummer

PS just ordered the DVD for the first one. The only player I have is on my computer,
I watch on a small monitor. I don't care - I get to see it better and hear what they are saying. In a movie theatre I think I miss alot because of poorer vision & hearing.

I actually enjoyed GOTG2. Although, I still feel everything is pushing to the next Avangers and the proper introduction of Thanos

I loved GOTG2. I thought there were some really funny bits. Baby Groot was a laugh.

We saw GOTG2 yesterday. I really liked it, but I do think the first one was better. I agree with DD that some of the humor was forced, which resulted in awkward rather than funny.

Shame, Matt, that Alien Covenant was disappointing. I know a lot of people that haven't seen it yet and are really looking forward to it.

The film itself was OK, my wife enjoyed it, but she found Prometheus hard going. I'm a massive fan of the originals (have the collectors set Blu-Ray), and it was the skimming over certain aspects which really let it down for me.

Ah, so you went in with expectations. I've fallen victim to that myself...especially when I see a movie after reading the book.

Got tickets to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean film tomorrow night in Imax 3D

Looking forward to hearing what you think about it. Are you planning to see the new Wonder Woman movie? I believe it will open end of June.

I'm torn...lol I was wanting to see Prometheus before seeing Alien Covenant but maybe I don't need to. I think I'm like your wife...Prometheus didn't do it for me like the alien series. I can barely remember what went on so it mustn't have impressed me much I guess. Not sure if I'll see it in the theater or wait for it to come out. For me, nothing has ever come close to touching the second Aliens movie. (Omg...so good)

DH and I were discussing about your mentioning the darker feel to this Guardians yesterday. I think we're liking the idea of a little darkness in this one...lol. It still won't be here for another couple of weeks. Our theater upgraded to all new dvd and surround system equipment, but it still isn't as good as the city theaters. I want to FEEL the movie...lol.
