Guardians of the Galaxy - 9/10
This movie is a fun 1980s type film like Back to the Future updated to today with all the modern effects. I just love the characters and adventure with the tone and pacing that never lose me. I even like the villain as a juxtaposition of serious contrast the misfits of the Guardians. Proof that the characters don't have to be big or known to make successful adaptation.
Avengers 2 - 6/10
This really felt like a director fighting a studio with the odd pacing and editing at times. That said, the biggest flaw I saw was Ultron. He felt built up as the true threat the Avengers would struggle with, and in the end he was tepid and unengaging from his voice and dialog I never felt fear or concern. A misstep that I think Marvel consider with more recent offerings.
