wanna feel old?
40th Anniversary of this movie
Still a great movie, watched it again recently
Another sci fi film that came out the same year was pretty useful tooTo this day I've still never seen it
I'm in the group that would say you haven't missed much.

@catogrande I watched it at the time but have never seen it since and wouldn't bother again. Very Spielberg - and that's not a good thing

Loved it as a kid, loved it the last time I watched it - about 2 years ago.

For it's time and audience it was good.
I've never watched ET and I never will, barring eyes peeled open torture in some shithole with a VCR and pirated tape on a 18" CRT...
And then only maybe.

Love how they are marketing the sequel, did the same thing with the first one.
May your pants be dry and your dreams wet..

Justice League movie was good, lighter in tone so should appeal more for the Marvel crowd. Especially with the Wheddon quips/humour in there.
Nice musical nods to past films in there too.
Apparently, the execs asked for it to be two hours, and my main complaint would be that shows. Needed more time to build the story up, and the down side of the Marvel jokey approach is everyone is having fun at the end of the world.
Truely great to see the comics so faithfully put up screen now, some of the effects we take for granted are just amazing. And they finally got Superman right - he smiles!

Ragnarok
Pretty bloody good. I felt at a couple of points the one-liners and funnies got a teensy bit try-hard (as @Kirwan said: its the end of the fucking world!) , but it was refreshing to see that kind of film not taking itself overly seriously.
Some great visuals, good fight scenes, and I must say Cate Blanchett in skintight black is fucking hot.
Taika Waititi keeps kicking goals.
5 out of 5 Dougs.

Huh? Didn't he die in the last one!?
Nobody stays dead in these movies. I thought about putting that in a spoiler, but I figured everybody knew that was happening.
Also, forgot to mention there are two after credit scenes, if you are into those.

Gutted Blanchett died as she was smoking hot in that film. The Valkyrie getting her own film would placate me somewhat.

It’s too late you already read my post.
Also in the film Tom Hiddleston looks like he is transitioning.

Fair enough. Nothing's been spoiled if it makes you feel better, there are several surprises in there and the plot is the last reason to see this film.
Liked purely for this statement.

@bovidae any excuse to drop a little bit of Get Smart
My old boss was forbidden to watch get smart as a child and didn’t find out for years why. Don Adams got invalided to Wellington with malaria he caught in Guadalcanal with the marines during the war and went out with his mum a few times while his dad was in North Africa with the eighth army. Kind of understandable I guess , it was before they were married though.
