I might have to keep an eye on this as I haven't watched any movies this year. I've heard a lot of good things about the Marvel movies, of course, so I'll have to check those out.
The important part is to disregard what critics say as they tend to think they know what's best for the viewers.
Seriously, I can't believe critics are all praising Boyhood, it's just unnecessary long (2h40m), uninteresting, boring, mediocre script and the acting really isn't something to glare at either.
