Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I saw "FURY" last night. Excellent performances by all, especially Brad Pitt. Shia LeDouche put on the performance of his life, he was outstanding. Highly recommend. Not overdone in any dimension, the special effects were well done.
Can you at least point them in a safe direction?Originally Posted by Ridge
If one didn't grow up reading comics, and has seen perhaps ONE of the comic based movies in the past ten years or so... where would one start to get caught up?
"There are no finger prints under water."
Sorry, didn't see this reply. In order of their events:
Captain America is okay. Introduces some otherworldly tech that has big ramifications in the storylines. Otherwise it's a WW2 comic book movie. (Introduces Howard Stark, Captain America and Bucky Barnes)
Iron Man was the movie that kick-started the Marvel films. I'd recommend that (Introduces Iron Man, SHIELD, Agent Coulson and Nick Fury).
Thor introduces important characters on both sides of the fight (Introduces Thor, Loki, Hawkeye).
The Incredible Hulk I haven't seen. (Introduces Hulk)
Iron Man 2 features a couple throwaway villains and big battle at Not Epcot Center. (Introduces Black Widow)
The Avengers combines them all together in a pretty epic battle in New York City and introduces Thanos, the ultimate evil in the Marvel universe.
Iron Man 3 takes place after The Avengers and is basically some action and Tony Stark dealing with PTSD from the events in NYC.
Captain America 2 is really good. Political thriller wrapped in an action movie. Basically talks about NSA surveillance. And Cap calls the government a bunch of Nazis. (Introduces Falcon and The Winter Soldier)
Thor 2 introduces another piece of tech like the one in Captain America.
Guardians of the Galaxy takes place in the same universe, but far away from Earth. Third piece of tech revealed and explains that Thanos is after all 5 pieces. (Introduces Star Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora and Drax the Destroyer)
So, I recommend Iron Man 1, Thor 1, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Good write up, thanks!

Sure thing!
Saw John Wick tonight. Surprisingly good movie. Felt to me like Collateral, but more personal, and with some interesting humor. I think it's Keanu's first good movie since the original Matrix.

lol that was hilarious
Just revived an old thread in GD about this before checking here. Search showed that one first. Anyway, awesome movie. Well done.
Just saw Interstellar last night... HOLY CRAP! That was one crazy, intense, very well made movie. Of course, I didn't know anything about the movie except for what I saw in commercials on TV, so when it ended and it showed "Directed by Christopher Nolan" it hit me... DUH! That explained a lot. Great movie, Matthew McConaughey was flat out amazing in it. Well worth paying the cost of the ticket to see it in the theater. We even went as far as seeing it at the Regal cinema at Monaco and Hampden on the RPX big screen for an even more immersive and bigger experience.

St. Vincent with Bill Murray-surprisingly good.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
Saw Interstellar tonight. Matinee, so $10. Great movie. If you're a space nerd like I am, wear some loose fitting pants. Turns into 2001: A Space Odyssey towards the end, but still cool. Happy ending is depressing, in my opinion. Best character is the robot that threatens to throw the humans out the airlock just before launch.
