Los Ingobernables de Sala de Cine
Just got to see it and below are my non-spoiler thoughts on the movie.
First and foremost, it's way better than the first movie, mostly because this movie isn't fukking strolling along for nearly half its length like the first one. With that said, you can tell Alan Taylor is a tv director because even with its large scale battles, it feels so limited. The big battles never pulled me in and always just seemed like a bunch of extras running into each other. LotR this is not. The one-on-one battles were a lot better though and the movie did a better job at making the stakes higher due to the losses Thor led.
My biggest problem with the movie were its attempts at humor, especially the fact they attempted it every goddamn minute with a continuous stream of increasingly corny jokes. Like it got to a point they wouldn't even let the dramatic moments breathe because here's another wisecrack to kill all the suspense. Basically ask yourself how you felt about Kat Denning's role in the first movie, and you'll know how half the movie will make you feel.
Still, as I've said, at least it kept going at a steady pace unlike the first one so even through the weaker moments it never gets a chance to get on your nerves.
Also, if the end credits scene is any indication of how Guardians Of The Galaxy is going to be, I'm lowering my anticipation of that movie severely. I thought it looked awful and while I hope that's only because the clip was rushed to be included here, it was a bad start for one of Marvel's biggest challenges yet.

. You can tell Avengers helped open up the budget for this movie too.
