We just saw Guardians last week and loved it. Hope to see Pirates next month. I have been taking advantage of the AT&T bring a friend Tuesdays to make it more affordable. Either DH or DS goes with. The Mummy looks cool too. I missed John Wick 2 at the theater but have to have the Bluray anyway. We only do big action movies at the theater, not chick flicks or other ones that aren't worth paying for the big screen.

DH and I go to the movies a lot! We saw Guardians of the Galaxy and loved it. I want to see Bay Watch this weekend (two hunky shirtless men? Yes please! ) and Pirates of the Caribbean.

I can't wait for Wonder Woman to come out. I'm hoping to convince my mom to see it.

We saw Guardians of the Galaxy. I want to see the new Despicable Me too.

Just saw Pirates with DS. I liked it as well as the others and better than On Stranger Tides. Always love Johnny Depp.

We watched Despicable Me 3 yesterday and followed it up with a round of mini golf (date night ). The movie was adorable and funny. I definitely recommend it with or without kids.

I missed out on seeing Pirates of the Caribbean. The movies are being shuffled out of our local theaters so quickly now. I guess I'll have to catch that one when it comes out on DVD. At least I still got to see Wonder Woman. That was a kick a** movie!

Sorry you missed Pirates. I really did not enjoy the last few in the franchise, but this one was very good. I look forward to Minions!

Saw Wonder Woman. Not bad. Loved all the strong women in it.

It wasn't perfect, but overall, there were only a few things I didn't like. I am especially sensitive to women not really looking like they can fight it irks me to no end. But the action scenes were spot on (OK the ones I saw at least - I did *briefly* fall asleep. but that was not the movie's fault, I was just exhausted.) There was one part when WW was running and dodging bullets that she looked a little weak how she was doing it. But otherwise, the women were solid.

I did find it a bit slow at times, maybe especially in the beginning when they were explaining/giving the backstories.

Robin Wright (Claire from HoC) was amazing. I kept fearing I would just see Claire come through - but nope - it was if I had never seen her play Claire before. I really love this actress.

And Wonder Woman herself. Wow. Gorgeous. Charming. Sexy. And likable. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of her.

So I wouldn't rave about it like a lot of the reviews did - but it was like a 7 maybe even an 8. And that's a lot for me to say about a Super Hero movie, since more and more I am tiring of them. It was waaaaaaay better than a lot of the Xmen.

ETA I am so looking forward to seeing the Minions! I wouldn't go to the movie theater to see it, but can't wait to watch it at home. They are so cute and funny.
