Doc Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Going to catch GotGV2 with the family and A:C with my bro. My family will also probably want to see PotC:DMTNT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I watched GOTG for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised; #2 will be on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 "Guardians Volume 2" was lots of fun. A great follow up to the first movie. Looking forward to more installments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I went to Guardians yesterday. I enjoyed it, but I think they went a little over the top with the humor. Did Drax have more than one line that wasn't a joke? On a side note, I'd love to know how much they payed Vin Diesel for these two movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not as much as he makes from his producing fees on the Fast and Furious franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 A lot. But not as much as he makes from his producing fees on the Fast and Furious franchise. I understand the producing part since he actually has to do something on those movies. This one has to be the cushiest voice acting gig of all time. I hope Cooper makes more from these movies than he does. It only seems fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 The Guardians movie was best movie I have seen in years. My wife was laughing which is very unusual for her in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read their deals (obviously) but from my understanding they're both paid primarily in back end points on GotG. I would doubt either got their standard quote for the VO work on the film (I think cooper's quote is 10-12m and I have no idea what VD's is but I'd guess it's around there).

dpberr Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 GotG #2 was very good. Probably the last movie I saw in a theater was the first one. I'd say that the Captain America and GotG are more entertaining than the other ones. I have no idea how they are going to cram the Guardians and the Avengers into one movie. It'll be like a 1970s disaster movie. I won't see Alien:Covenant because at its core, it boils down to just more dumb people visiting a strange planet they shouldn't without ever thinking "oh, there might be some hostile **** there, perhaps we should pack LOTS and LOTS of guns, just in case."

Yeah, they went a bit overboard with the comedy, but it was still very good, and there were some very funny scenes. Loved the set up for the next adventure.

unbillievable Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 The trailer ruined a few scenes in the GOTGv2 movie. I'm going to try to avoid watching trailers in the future. It was still good. I liked it better than the 1st one. They went overboard with the 80's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 "Avengers: Infinity War" will be cinematic insanity. More speculation than spoiler, but I'll play it safe: I never would have thought it about a year ago, but suddenly Nebula looks to have a big role in all of that.

I liked it better than the 1st one. They went overboard with the 80's music. You had to know they were going to. I know many people who loved the soundtrack from the first movie. It makes sense for them to be playing that music, because that's the music that Star-Lord is familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
