As a devoted DC fan....I FUCKING LOVED THIS MOVIE
THEY KILLED IT! |
This is hands-down my favorite movie of the year. I really don't see anything topping it.
|
|
Well to be fair between the cartoons and TV I'm betting Howard would still love to have a tenth of her fame.
|
|
Yeah Batista was actually surprisingly really good in this film. :y:
|
|
Yeah that was really, really good. Definitely the most straight up "fun" movie Marvel have done so far.
And to think I was worried it would be a crappy disappointing flop. |
|
I was annoyed that they cast Batista but he was awesome. They gave him good lines and he delivered them well.
|
Can we freely discuss this movie now? Or do we still need to use spoiler tags?
|
Yeah, let it all out.
|
Most humorous part of the movie was Rocket asking for the dude's leg because he thought it would be funny... and then trying to do it again later on with another dude's eye.
|
Wait til he meets the Winter Soldier.
|
I loved when Groot skewered 5 guys, hulk smashed them into 10 others, bautista was cuming in his pants, quill was like WTF? and groot turned around and smiled like a kid haha
|
Rocket: [about Drax] Metaphors go over his head.
Drax the Destroyer: NOTHING goes over my head!... My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it. |
Yeah Batista was gold. Pretty much everyone was great.
If anything, I'd say the villains were a bit one-dimensional, but it would have been way too hard to flesh them out and the gaurdians and still tell a good story within two hours, so it's forgivable. And they made up for it, by being completely believable as world wrecking badasses. |
Fucking Thanos, man.
|
Just got back from it. Loved it. The most "fun" superhero flick ever made and really just visually stunning (the production design, costumes, make-up and special fx were all off the charts).
Ronan was a great villain, came across as a legit force, and Nebula was very impressive as well. Thanos intro was perfect. Film was perfectly cast (including Batista). Soundtrack was amazing. So much fun. |
The Dance-Off bit when Quill is distracting Ronan is perfect by the way. Even Ronan's reaction is just incredible.
|
I think the way all the action in the middle is bookended by the dance off at the end, and the dancing in the caves and using the little alien as a microphone at the start is absolutely perfect.
Also regardless of how old the joke is, I liked the "no raccoons or tree creatures were harmed in the making of this film" bit in the credits. |

THAT'S how much the movie kept me on my toes. |
Loved that Cosmo cameo.
|
Seriously, really hope Cosmo gets more than a cameo in the sequel.
Great that they acknowledged the Rocket rivalry. |

SPOILER: show |
Don't see why they'd make that so hard to spot. He's fairly important, moreso than being an extra hidden easter egg.
|
Yessss. Baby Groot replica
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1986206...pot-i-am-groot Kinda want to wait for an inevitable dancing toy though. They have to make one, right? |
|
Yeah that's totally gonna be a thing.

So which gem was the orb?
Obviously the Tesseract was the Space Gem. Loki had the Mind Gem on his staff in Avengers. The Aether was the Power Gem. Is the Orb the Soul Gem? |
I saw this today. I, too, made a "Jackson Pollock". Just in my pants.
I was a little bit of a different beast here, because I had no clue coming in about Guardians, so I had no preconceived notions about what may get messed up except that they cast Bats... was worried from Wrong Side of Town and Riddick (you know... speaking roles. Man With The Iron Fists was okay, but he really didn't say shit in it) that he'd stink. Glad I was proven wrong. It also (sort of) explained the corpse in Agents and kept hope alive that Sky is what I think she is. |

http://cf.badassdigest.com/_uploads/...inity_Gems.jpg They've been really vague, as far as what the power of each one is so far. Who freaking knows at this point? |
James Gunn's stated that the orb was the Power stone while some Marvel Studios guy said that the Tesseract is the Space stone.
|
Why are they bothering to give each one a distinct color if they aren't going to go by what they are in the comics.
Not a huge deal mind you, I just don't see the point in rearranging the colors. Seems like a change for change's sake. |
They're probably not giving them distinct powers like "space" and "mind" etc because it's too vague in terms of people following all the movies and knowing which is which. Damn, I only saw Thor: The Dark World when it was in theaters, and to be honest I've already forgotten most of what happened in that movie, so most fans and especially casual movie-goers aren't going to remember that "so-and-so had the so-and-so gem in this movie". Probably much easier just to consider them all "fucking powerful artifacts", and then if they really want to go into detail, do it in a film where, for example, Thanos has all seven of them and can give a brief exposition(?) of them all at once.

Saw the movie yesterday. Second best Marvel movie. Right, like so close it can feel it's breath on the back of it's neck, behind Avengers. Just great all around fun from a cast of characters that there isn't too much backstory that people know. So they can fudge a few things. But god damn it was a fun ride.
And yeah, the Orb was Power. So far we've had Space(Tesserect), Mind(Loki's Staff), Reality(Aether), and now Power(Orb). All we're missing is Time and Soul and then Avengers 3 hits and it all comes together. ALSO! In a blink and you'll miss it moment we did kinda get a hint at Soul. SPOILER: show I can't wait to see what they do next. |
Not really important to much of anything, but I wonder if "12%" is going to be some dialogue quirk thing in the movieverse. Starlord had 12% of a plan, Stark/Potts had 12% of the credit/a moment... wouldn't be surprised if it were inoccusously thrown in other movies/Agents going foward "just because".

Anyway, I knew nothing about GotG, but I thought this film was fantastic and I wasn't confused at all by anything in the film. I personally found the movie to be very easy to follow and to understand, and I also didn't feel like I was watching a movie based on a comic. I would actually go to the cinema to see the film again, though in 2D, as my friend booked to watch the 3D version for some reason. Also, I enjoyed the film so much, that I may actually buy it on DVD when it's released, and I'm not a guy that really buys movies on DVD. If I do, it's movies that I thoroughly enjoyed and that I know I will never grow tired of watching. |

just got back from this. awesome movie. had no idea about the characters going into it, but it was pretty easy to follow. they did a good job of laying everything out. definitely looking forward to more.

There was not "point" to the scene". Neither was more important. They got to show 2 things, one of hardcores, one for the "general" masses. Warlock will be huge when he shows up, and he will be introduced in a way that wont be related to that scene at all |
I loved it, but I expected to. Was a little unsure about the missus, but she loved it too!!
Also, bonus points for Brendan Brady being in it! |
Whoever set the vision for the MCU, hat's off to them!
Caught the movie yesterday. Had a lot on my mind, and the movie totally helped calm me down, relax, and care about it. Been spinning the 'Awesome Mix Vol. 1' since the drive back home from the theater. Missed the second end credits spoiler. Will watch this again, soon. |
Wait what was the 2nd end credit spoiler?
|
that gertner's gay.
|
Howard the Duck and Cosmo the dog fucking with the collector, with Adam Warlocks empty cocoon in the background. Not really a spoiler...more of a confirmation that at some point Adam Warlock will show up...
|
Right. But that was the only credit scene. Why are people calling that the 2nd one?
|
I dunno, guess some people consider the Groot/Drax thing to be a mid/post credits thing.
|
Oh. I guess that makes sense?
|
I guess. I'm only assuming anyway.
|
It happened during the credits, so yeah, credits scene
|
My bad. Meant 'scene', typed 'spoiler'.
|
Gotta say I like these dudes way more than the AVENGERS because they aren't the elite A-squad come to save the day they are a bunch of losers doing the best they can in a bad situation.
|
Just saw this movie yesterday and I loved it. Was hesitant with having Bautista in the movie but the way they did his lines, it turned out perfect. Only problem I had with the movie was every time Michael Rooker was on screen and talked just kept picturing his walking dead charater
|
Yeah, he didn't exactly play Yondu. He played a blue Micheal Rooker. He was still entertaining though, so I guess that's all that really matters.
|
Up to 586 million - the biggest Marvel 1st movie yet. This franchise is going to be huge.
Edit: This surpassed Iron Man 1 which is why I post this. |
Huh. So it beat Iron Man by a million.
Nice. |
1 million and growing.
|
it will go over 600 worldwide next week.
|
To be fair I didn't think it would get that much money. It didn't look that great after the first week, but it seems like people keep going to see it, even well after the premiere. That is good.
|
Yeah its been steady, seems like alot of word of mouth and multiple viewings
|
It's no Amazing Spiderman 2, but I loved it.
