Just got back from taking my sons to see this (also the third day on the trot I've been to the cinema) and we all absolutely loved it.
I wasn't that bothered about seeing it, until my eldest son came back from Scout camp telling me how good it was, so I decided to check it out for myself, and he even said he enjoyed it more the second time around.
Definite addition to the collection in the future, awesome film

I AM GROOT!

Glad you liked it Rik! I think it's probably Marvels most enjoyable film.

Yeah, gotta agree with you there, it had my 6 year old in stitches

Yet another comic book franchise looms.

I can't wait for the superhero bubble to burst, which it will sooner rather than later.

I dunno, they're already making plans for films up to 2020, and if they keep entertaining my kids (and me ), then I'm happy to watch them

Don't you miss proper films though.?

The likes of Speed, A Time to Kill*, True Lies, Twister etc.

Good action packed thrillers* without super powered hero types, that adults can enjoy.

*I know this isn't action packed but it's gripping viewing.

It's interesting to note that all the established superhero franchises have under performed in the States.

Spiderman performed the worst out of all five films, Captain America didn't come close to Iron Man's figures as two examples.

I'm not talking major misfires just not as good as hoped.

Yeah definitely, saw a trailer for a Twister type film today-Into the Storm, looks pretty good and the new Liam Neeson film out next month looks promising, something about Tombstone, can't remember the title right now

Must admit i don't think sequels help either. Take Pirates of the Caribbean and The Matrix. Two fantastic movies both of which are devalued in people's estimations by a glut of piss poor sequels.

I hated the first Pirates of the Caribbean film and the first sequel (I haven't seen the others), but thought the Matrix sequels (particularly Reloaded) were good and added to the philosophy of the first, which arguably can be watched as a stand-alone film.
