  4. 2007 Teenange Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie: The movie was entertaining and fun to watch. The CGI, animation, and models were good for all of the characters. The movie was as fun and entertaining as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon on Nick.
  5. so that means Avengers: Age of Ultron will take place in 2015 :)
  6. Updated Ranks of Movies: 1. Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 3. The Avengers 4. Thor 5. Captain America 6. Iron Man 1 7. Iron Man 2 8. Iron Man 3 9. Thor: The Dark World
  7. well we got all of the Guardians of the Galaxy, except for Rocket Raccoon with the sets.
  8. I haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy yet.
  9. Ranks of Movies: 1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 2. The Avengers 3. Thor 4. Captain America 5. Iron Man 1 6. Iron Man 2 7. Iron Man 3 8. Thor: The Dark World
  10. Do you guys think Lego and Marvel will give us more Guardians of the Galaxy sets next year, or will it just be Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ultimate Spider-Man/Comic Book Spider-Man Sets?
  11. How annoying were the theater crowds when you saw Guardians of the Galaxy?
  12. Should be easy for this weekend for the Guardians to take the Box-Office, since they are going up against suckish movies like teenager dramas and other boring movies that makes humans go asleep. Should be easy for next week as well to take down Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, since it's is basically Transformers with the transformers replaced by ninja turtles.
  13. Finally watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier by a pretty good-quality stream online. The movie was very good. The story was a bit better than Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Agents of Shield.

  21. This is the new theme song for Lego and Lego-building:
  22. I don't know how well The Lego Movie will do as a franchise, because parents and kids will probably get tired of Lego's and stop buying them. By the time, a new Lego Movie comes out, ticket prices for the movie theater will probably be like 30-60 dollars per person.
