Guardians of the Galaxy- Starring Rocket Raccoon and friends! - General

Was a really great movie, but I don't understand how people are saying it was better than The Avengers.

I seen it yesterday, forgot to post here. I really enjoyed it a lot.. The only nitpick I have is that I felt they didn't portray time passing very well, sometimes it felt like the events were just happening right after each other with no break/time passage in between.

Persuaded my mom and dad to see it later today. Just after watching Winter Soldier. I'm on a Marvel Hype right now. :v:

this was a fun movie that was worth my two years of hype will see it again 3/10 it was ok

Was so great Its nice seeing a "serious" action movie with funny writing/character interaction in it for once. I feel like that fell out of vogue in the past few years [editline]3rd August 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;45579527]Was a really great movie, but I don't understand how people are saying it was better than The Avengers.[/QUOTE] Its kind of on par IMO I think its better in the sense that the protagonists are way more interesting than "these generic superheros you all know already" [editline]3rd August 2014[/editline] Also I want starlord's mask Straight up bobafett levels of cool for his outfit

Just got out of the theater watching it. Anyway was a really fucking good movie, I was surprised how many people were laughing at the movie, Marvel movies always had comedic moments but you wouldn't hear lots of audible laughter here so that was pretty cool, although lots of jokes went over peoples head(insert reflex joke here) such as Drax's lines and the Footloose reference.

Watched this last night, it was absolutely fantastic.. though the after credit scenes... the hell hahaha.

I think I went in too hyped up. It was still good but it didn't really blow me away. Will watch it again though.

Yay good news [img]http://i.imgur.com/5Ia8ZD0.png[/img]

I'm pissed, neither my local Toys R Us nor my local Target has any of the GotG Marvel Legends figures. I want a Star Lord, dammit. They've got creepy lips Ninja Turtles and NECA's pink-faced Spy, but nothing from one of the most heavily promoted movies of the year.

Writer/Director James Gunn has written up a thanks to all the fans in response to the film doing ridiculously well at the box office: [quote]Thanks to all of you who saw (and are seeing) Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend, from the bottom of my heart. The Guardians are a group of oddballs, outcasts, and geeks. The movie is for anyone who ever felt cast aside, left out, or different. It's for all of us who don't belong. This movie belongs to you. And, today, I think we're doing okay. I am of course happy with all the film has accomplished box-office-wise. But what touches me the most is that the film I told the folks at Marvel I wanted to make two years ago is the film that you're seeing in theaters today - it's that so many of you seem to be directly EXPERIENCING the film I INTENDED. The cast, the producers, the crew, and I felt like we were making something special while we were making it. But it is very rare that a director's INTENTIONS in creating a film, or a scene, or a character, or a line of dialogue are, seemingly, specifically what is experienced by an audience (not to mention critics!), and that seems to be what has happened here. You have allowed a talking raccoon - for a moment, a minute, or a day - to make you a little more human. And for that, I am profoundly grateful. If I relied on myself to implement these intentions, the film would be a shambling mess. But instead, I had a wonderful cast, genius producers, an incredibly brave studio, sublimely talented visual effects artists, great editors, and the best damn crew of mostly-British bastards to actually implement these intentions for me. Where I had a good idea they would, through alchemy, transform it into a great one. Many of you involved are friends of mine on Facebook. Many of you will read this somewhere else. I love you all. You may remember me posting here a couple weeks ago how sad I was to be finishing up the film, that I was having trouble letting go of Rocket, and that I was going to miss him. But seeing him (and Groot, and the rest of the team) embraced by the world like they have been, to be UNDERSTOOD, makes it a wonderful letting go. It's like giving a foster pet up for adoption to the most wonderful parents in the world. And, of course, I'm not really saying goodbye as, while many of you have been enjoying the film, I've spent this weekend hard at work on the sequel. I couldn't help myself! The results are nice but it's really the creative process I love and that keeps me going. I'm on fire with this thing! The Guardians have so many hardships and heartaches and triumphs ahead of them, and I can't wait to share them with all of you. Onto week two... Love, James[/quote]

I haven't even seen the movie yet (it releases in two weeks here) but I'm already hyped for the sequel.

saw this last night [sp]dancing baby groot is the greatest thing of all time[/sp]

Oh god. Ok, fine I'll read and see what he has to say... "The answer is simple- Water everything down to a family and consumer friendly package. Who cares about those trivial things like interesting characters and a compelling story? They’ve got to make their money back, darn it!" Huh, now why would he say that? I thought the characters were very- "I’m not exactly a big expert when it comes to the GotG comics, but I have been reading the current series since it started last year." Oh, that's why.

I just got home from the theater and i gotta tell you something i haven't been in a movie theater in a couple years. I think the last movie i saw in a theater was eragon ( i know i know ) but after a couple years me and my mom decided to say screw it and we went to go watch Gotg in the theater. And i gotta tell you it was breathtaking being in a movie theater again and the quality from the last time i was in a theater was day and night to me. Anyways got off track there, Me and my mom really loved gotg and i think it was a great pick of a movie to break the theater hiatus for me and her.

I'm trying to avoid spoilers as much as I can, but there is one thing, one deciding factor that will determine whether or not I see this movie, and I just have to know in advance. Does groot say anything other than "I am groot" in the movie? Because one of my friends who's a marvel buff (who hasn't seen the movie yet either) claims that that's all he can say in the comics, and for some reason that doesn't sound right to me.
