Guardians is confirmed to introduce the 3rd Infinity/Space Stone. I really wouldn't be surprised if The Winter Soldier mentioned them or featured one in some capacity. Iy.

I'ma go with "no".
What's an Armond White?
Never heard of it. Whatever it is.
Iron man 3 was pretty crap. Didn't bother with Cap, Thor or any hulk movies post the Ang Lee one (which I only saw for Jennifer Connelly).
Iron man was OK. It explained backstory. It gave perspective.
The not reading comics reference was to illustrate that I have zero knowledge of the backstory and how/why the characters are supposed to fit together - so I must rely on the movie's story to get the gist of it. And the stories WEREN'T that good (cliche'd or they just didn't make any sense.)
Whatevs. I'm done justifying why I disliked stuff that you fanboys eat up. Perhaps it's also because I'm forty-freaking-five and have zero else in common with most gamers these days bar the small niche hobby we share.

Hmm... not sure I'd bother reading reviews written by someone who thinks that A.I. is the "greatest film of all time".
Is "Armond" even a real name? I know Americans like making names up, but "Armond"?!

I have friends' parents who are older than you and love the Marvel movies. Hell, my mom loves them, and she's 54. She didn't read the comics, but she grew up watching Adam West's Batman and the classic Wonder Woman and Flash shows. "Iron man was OK"?? Dem's fighting words in this neck of the woods. Robert Downey Jr. redefined the character so much that Marvel rebuilt the Iron Man personality around him. Until Avengers, it was the most well loved Marvel movie to date. Man, old timer, chug a Zima and get back to the theater.

You don't read them for the review, but for the hilarity.
On Transformers 2
Bay is an ideal director to realize this peculiar genre which remakes the surfeit of adolescent commercial media as a means of multimedia gratification. These cars, trucks, motorcycles and planes metamorphose fast but their transfiguration is like the mechanical toy descriptions in E.T.A. Hoffman–fantastic and uncanny. Bay’s post-nuclear version of Hoffman’s The Nutcracker stirs emotion from our pop culture, industrial experience then connects to ancient spiritual myths (like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). It’s too much the production of industrialization to be considered magic yet Bay’s sheer fascination with seeing is impressively communicated.

Fair points. The only comic I've read was a Gozilla comic taking out Vegas. My experience is movies and the X Men TV show and Adam West Batman from ancient times, so I don't understand this or that, and can't get around guys with pointy sticks fighting aliens with ray guns.
I liked TDK and the Heath Ledger's Manson character, but he was playing Manson, not a Joker guy.

This is the truth of it. Although with my white hair, you would probably think me older. Especially if I let it grow and it goes all Warhol on me.
I just don't 'get' superhero comics. I really don't like 'camp' (lost in space's Dr Smith as played by Jonathan Harris, or the Adam West batman series) for example. I didn't watch them.
I was also unaware that there was an Xmen tv series? Was it animated? Then it was on at a time when I was either on my way to work, on my way home, or whilst I was asleep - or it was on cable which I didn't have.  I saw the first movie. It had promise. Never saw the others. Saw the wolverine origins movie and then wished I hadn't.
As for me calling Iron man an "ok" movie - that's actually a good rating from me. Equates to about a 6-7/10. I quite like RDJ as an actor and as a person (met him once.). I liked that he put so much of himself into the role and allowed it to pisstake his life.
"Not very good" is my 2/10 and "fellates dead goats" is my "do not even rent this".
Oh, and I hated AI. It had promise, it had good 'bones' as they say - but it was given to people prone to excessive schmalz.
But hey, I liked "Up". Maybe it's because I identified with the old guy (I've been told I do resemble him).

There was an attempt at an earlier show in 1989. Only a single episode exists: the pilot X-Men: Pryde of the X-men. I used to have it on VHS, actually. Wolverine was an Aussie, because Aussies were popular at the time(Crocodile Dundee, Mad Max) and it was planned in the comics, apparently, that it was going to be revealed that Wolverine was an expatriated Aussie(obviously, this didn't happen).

Batman was seriously number 1, X-men a reasonably close (okay, nothing is really "reasonably close" to Batman) second, Spider-Man was also really good. The rest of the 90's stuff was just okay. Earth's Mightiest Heroes definitely overtook 90's X-men, mostly because Storm ruined the show ("Power of lightning, piss off TTW85 every time I talk!"). Jubilee hurt it a lot too-why, oh WHY couldn't they have kept Shadowcat instead? EMH also brought in the GotG, and I'm hoping it's a reasonable jumping off point, as I haven't read any of the comics.

I would recommend Godzilla Color Special. It's a single comic, with a very neat story (Godzilla fights a demon imprisoned in a statue that grows larger every time it is destroyed) and has terrific art by Art Adams, one of my favorite comic artists of all time. Also, it's a one-shot comic ans is readily available for $2 or less.

Batman Beyond was really good, as well as the whole of the Justice League series. Spider-Man was alright until the end where it started to get really weird, even for a comic book. Although that brand of really weird is starting to become the norm...

The sad thing is, the Spidey cartoon was a dumbed down version of what was happening in the comics. I couldn't follow the comics then, there was too much crap. The show helped a lot.
