The only poetic Marvel movie

This is one of the most beautiful action films ever made. One of the only science fiction films in which cosmic beings hold hands, make love, debate the ethical merits of life itself. There are moments of sheer beauty here which are absent from nearly all other modern blockbusters.
It seems like a lot of people are upset that this is not another cookie cutter collection of fight scenes where cities get smashed up (and just as many seem to simply be mad that they had to see gay characters). Personally I applaud Marvel for taking this chance on an arthouse director who actually brought a unique vision. Don't get me wrong, it's not Tarkovsky, but it's as close as any of these movies are likely to get to that kind of contemplative sci-fi.
