"I watch this with my family a lot. All of the Marx Brothers movies have been very popular in the Columbus household for the last 20 years or so. I was a bit of a dictator making my kids watch these movies. They grew up with them because kids are really reluctant to watch black-and-white films. Our family loved the Marx Brothers films, and for some reason the one that we always went back to, and the one that we were obsessed with, was Horse Feathers. It’s 1932, so that’s going back a long way. Yet at the same time I would show that movie to my kids who were seven and five and three, and they were mesmerized. I learned a lot about comedy and breaking the rules in that movie — in terms of comedy — which extended to seeing movies like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein and Annie Hall to a certain extent. The Marx Brothers started it all, and it’s smart comedy. The funny thing about the movie is, there are scenes that, still for me and my family, are falling down funny. So they can watch that movie and take away from it — maybe laugh a little harder than they do at some of the more modern comedies. That movie — and there’s like five or six Marx Brothers movies — is just a wonderful sort of family experience and that’s why it’s on the list."

James Bond Replacement?
Great castings! There were plenty action and some parts do pull at your heartstrings (I'm looking at you Mr. Pickles and you too Harry!). The new take on a spy movie was great. The jokes didn't fall flat. "Manners Maketh Man". Now go and watch it!

I put this film on but it didn't really grip me so I ended up doing other things as it played in the background. There were a few laughs and it seemed a decent enough film but there wasn't that much going on that I felt compelled to watch it.

Fantastic film
Love sci-fi films that make you think and question the world around you, this and it's sequels which are equally good do that. I have the box set and could watch them over and over.

CGI
Marvels consistency isn't affected by this movie
Marvel movies are becoming a bit formulaic at this point, but this one manages to do some new things and is an enjoyable watch. The cast all work well in their respective roles, the CGI is incredible and the script is decent.

Good Movie, Bad Name
This was a better idea on paper than it is a movie, but it's an interesting experiment to see play out. If you are browsing Netflix and have nothing else to watch, this will fill a couple of hours.

Good cast
Trouble in paradise
A very good thriller, with some twists and suspense. The only real problem is there are some big plot holes in the story that really don't add up by the end of film. That aside it's a well made film and enjoyable to watch.
