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 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?

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.

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. |

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. |

Seriously, really hope Cosmo gets more than a cameo in the sequel.
Great that they acknowledged the Rocket rivalry. |

Don't see why they'd make that so hard to spot. He's fairly important, moreso than being an extra hidden easter egg.

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. |

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. |
