I wanna read the books before I watch the films, but that could be a while Have you read the books? I'm curious as to how they compare.

Yes I read the books when they were released. The adaptation is a bit like Lotr versus the Lotr movies, entertaining, well made but it does loose rather a lot of the political subtext and the criticism of our society. The movies are still good though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sylvester Stallone describes PG-13 Expendables 3 as “horrible miscalculation” http://www.gamesradar.com/sylvester-sta ... lculation/Er, no. The real problem was characters you couldn't give a crap about. As usual with this series. Made even worse in 3 by the fact that 'the kids' were so underwritten they could have been a British bank...

Kevin Bacon will get his survival on in Greg McLean’s Jungle http://www.gamesradar.com/kevin-bacon-w ... ns-jungle/... James Gunn says Nova will not appear in Guardians 2 http://www.gamesradar.com/james-gunn-sa ... ardians-2/I wonder how much rope he's given and if it's relative to Guardians supposedly being the real 'cosmic' jump-off point.

Avengers: Age Of Ultron reshoots set to add more action (contains something of a spoiler Iron Man pic) http://www.gamesradar.com/avengers-age- ... re-action/Hmm, I do recall thinking the trailer looked a bit dull. And I've just been reading Mark Kermode's latest book where he talks about such shots basically being code for 'Sh1t! Redo! Redo!'
