Guardians of the Galaxy (May 2014) - Announced; Will tie in w/ The Avengers II (2015)

[Jordan-esque]

http://latino-review.com/2012/06/28/exclusive-marvels-2014-movie-revealed/


What would it look like if Star Wars turned into comic book superheroes?

Marvel’s plan has been 2 superhero movies in their Unified Film Universe each year. Next year will bring us the new entries into the ‘Thor’ and ‘Iron Man’ and 2014 will bring us ‘Captain America 2′ and…

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.

http://latino-review.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/guardians-626x400.jpg

The Marvel comics universe is called 616. Long story, just accept it. The Guardians of the Galaxy are a team of superheroes from the future of Universe 691. There, an evil alien race called the Badoom is trying to take over the universe. And then the Badoom create the Korvac, and… don’t worry, we have until 2014 to slowly educate ourselves on Guardians of the Galaxy.

The important thing is, at some point, the Guardians will jet back to the 20th century (yes, 20th. Probably the 21st in the movie universe) to meet with the Avengers.

The script has already been written and was said to be "incredible" encompassing the Avengers and Marvel's space universe.

More...


It will be announced as Marvel’s second 2014 movie at Comic Con.
Thanos is in it.
It will “lead up to” The Avengers 2 in 2015.

So let’s parse some of that.

One: The end credits scene at the end of The Avengers was both a teaser for ‘Avengers 2′ AND ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

Two: The Guardians being added to the Unified Universe means the theorhetical chronological order of Marvel Unified Movie Universe Phase 2 is: ‘Iron Man 3′ ‘Thor 2′ ‘Captain America 2′ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’ Hulk gets the shaft.

Three: If I were to point you in the direction of a comic to read to theorize what Guardians of the Galaxy would be about, I’d suggest you go buy The Thanos Imperative. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thanos_Imperative)

Four: Nova. Expect Nova. There’s got to be a reason that Nova keeps showing up in stuff like Disney’s Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel’s AvX. He’s not a Guardian per se, but he’s the most recognizable Marvel space character to the all-important “we’re young and buy toys” demographic.

UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/guardians-galaxy-movie-marvel-studios-avengers-343228) confirms the above report, also citing the strength of Nicole Perlman's GOTG script as a big reason why it's moving forward ahead of other Marvel movies in development: "She also has written two drafts of Guardians that are highly regarded. Adding to the heat surrounding Guardians is the fact that Marvel is currently on the hunt for a director. Those in the know say the project is in line with Avengers in tone in the sense there is plenty of comedic elements on display."

Release date has been set at May 16, 2014.

[Jailblazers7]

Def want to see this.

[EricGordon23]

Beast can't wait for all those movies. Hopefully xap america 2 is better

[Sarcastic]

Definitely has some potential.

[ZeN]

Nova!!!

It better be Richard tho -.-

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

So Silver Surfer is going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy? Wasn't he in some other comic flick a few years ago?

[Loneshot]

I know nothing of Marvel's cosmic/space stuff so i have no expectations. I keep hearing people rave about Nova but i know nothing of him.

Anyone want to recommend some arcs/series/stories that would lead to me getting hyped for this movie?

yeah, the shitty fantastic 4 two, hopefully he'll have a better showing this time around

[D-Wade316]

Nice. And bring back F4, Marvel.

[Jackass18]

How are they going to pull that off? That's a lot of heroes.

They need to do a reboot of the FF.

they don't own the rights to the ff, spiderman, x-men, daredevil, or ghost rider.

that's why those movies haven't been in the same shared universe as thor, capt. america, iron man, hulk, and avengers.

[cteach111]

has potential, but that's a lot of characters to squeeze in for Avengers 2.

[kNIOKAS]

can this super hereos shit stop... played to death =\

[Noah Rose]

can this super hereos shit stop... played to death =\
Then simply don't watch it.

Two movies a year is good, I want more so bring it hollywood!

this was also posted by black joker in the comic book thread.

i'm watching this, whether it sucks or not :D

and i just realized thanos looks like a skrull lol

"The important thing is, at some point, the Guardians will jet back to the 20th century (yes, 20th. Probably the 21st in the movie universe) to meet with the Avengers."

The Guardians + The Avengers + Thanos + whoever else, that's a lot of characters to pull off. Granted, The Avengers are established heroes (unless they add more members), but The Guardians has a number of characters itself.

[raiderfan19]

Surfer won't be in this. They don't own his rights, he's not a guardian and I'm not sure that thanos imperative is the best thing to read to get you set up for the guardians.

We might get Adam warlock if we are lucky though

Marvel only likes to promote one movie at a time, you'll probably get the first full length trailer with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Why does Marvel insist on implementing cheesy humor into every film they make? Is it too much to just go with badass story characters and using drama, high stakes and urgency? The humor is usually pretty lame and throughout every movie.

Admittedly, I don't know much about this comic, is it consistently written kinda tongue n cheek?

The tone from this teaser does not have me wanting to spend money to see it

jk. but yes, the trailer captures the tone of the comic perfectly. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/19g53b9e83n4qpng/original.png



think of this movie as star wars crossed with the 5th element crossed with farscape.

they are basically a band of galactic misfits. they don't always get along with one another, and they all have their own side agendas. they screw up alot, but they also happen to save the universe a few times.


a few of the characters have strong ties to Thanos, who is going to be the eventual big bad in one of the future avengers movies (he was teased at the end of the first one)

That's the Marvel style, and going by their box office history as of the past decade, it works. Marvel's always been the cheesy comic company, right from the start.

Because a bunch of guys running around in tights and capes isn't terribly serious, and treating it that way, like with Batman, can end up being even campier and more ridiculous than if you started with some levity. Plus, it's the nature of the source material from what I understand.

Then again, maybe I could go for some drama, high stakes and urgency from a raccoon.

I agree a bit. I don't know if it's just me but the past few Marvel movies have been very generic. It makes money yeah but the movies have been very mediocre

they are alot more "fun" then the nolan movies.

the batman movies are better films, but just not as enjoyable to me. the new captain america movie should be pretty serious though.

Agreed regarding Iron Man and the first time I saw Avengers. But the last two flicks just felt like generic action movies with one-liners thrown around

[ItsMillerTime]

Marvel > DC in terms of blockbuster movies

[ROCSteady]

Doesn't have to Nolan Batman serious or anything, it just seems the formula of packing in contrived laugh dialogue like sardines into every Marvel movie, regardless of characterization has run it's course for me.

Then, when you have a property that has built itself on humor or not being overly serious, the average viewer not familiar with the comics (me) just think, same ol, same ol.

Maybe my stale reaction to this first look is a product of all the overstuffed 'funnies' in previous joints made by Marvel. Humor is never a bad thing but forced humor is.

Plus, my initial feeling is that the main human guy, Starlord (?) seems annoying as fck.

[rezznor]

Know **** all about comic books. Are they like the Avengers of the future?
Of outerspace, but goofier

[TheReal Kendall]

Don't know much about the comic but I'll get it a try.

Not sure how I feel about the talking rat though

[ROCSteady]

Never seen it. Maybe it'll surprise me. I just have a feeling this movie will be a financial disappointment compared to what they like to bottomline at becuz the title isn't recognizable for most.

Then again, the talking raccoon with advanced assault rifle will get a younger crowd's attention an coerce their parents to take them so who knows?

I'm def throwing cash down for the new X Men story.

Rocket's a raccoon.

This trailer captures the feel of the latest incarnation of the Guardians of the Galaxy perfectly. Marvel/Disney is doing an amazin job of attaching passionate people to their films (James Gunn for this). There's no doubt in my mind that this is going to capture a perfect blend of fun action/adventure and space opera.

I'm not sure I like Batista as Drax nor the look, but we'll see how he does. My only other problem is that I'm not really familiar with this version of the team. I only know of the old GOTG team. Looking up the newer version, I see that Adam Warlock is a part, but not in the movie. 'Tis a shame, he was one of my fav characters back in the day. They have to throw him in one of these movies if they're doing the Infinity Gems thing.

I'm not the biggest comic book fan, but I follow DC and Marvel closely enough to atleast be familiar with the vast majority of their characters. Never heard of these dudes? :biggums:

You should check out the Guardians series that Abnett and Lanning wrote a few years back, it's what giving this film most of its backbone. It's a little crossover heavy at times but definitely worth the read.

Started reading the new Marvel Now series. Three issues in and it's pretty entertaining so far. Every character except for Iron Man(and Rocket to much less of a degree...dat novelty) is completely new to me.

It craps out around issue 8 or 9.

Next month Wolverine and Venom join the group.....thanks for shitting on that series Marvel.

Short of walking my a$$ to wikipedia and reading all about these mofos, can one of you ISH bruh's break these Guardians dudes down from me.

Who are they, aliens, gods, roided up MLB players?

Why is the Raccoon shooting machine guns if he is an Alien, doesn't he have better weapons? Is he really a Raccoon or some advanced being that just looks like an earthly rodent?

Lamest question of all, are the dudes good or bad and who is their #1 enemy (preferably who is the enemy #1 in the movie?)

Thanks bruhs!

No real quick answers.....they're all alien or part alien.

The racoon has lots of different guns.

The main bad guy is a alien (ronan the accuser)who probably works for thanos.

To explain the whole works would take an essay long post

[Solidape]

Shannonelements and Clyde....Thanks Bruhs, really appreciate your breakdown!

[rezznor]

the raccoon comes from a planet full of anthromorphic creatures. he was created in the 70s along with howard the duck and was basically just a gag character. recently, some writers started bringing him back and made him a bad ass. he's basically a cybernetic alien that that happens to look like an earth raccoon, which really pisses him off when someone calls him that. he has anger issues and is best buds with groot. i believe he is also an inventor, weapons expert, and pilot.

[magic chiongson]

drax has a more interesting relationship with thanos than gamora :rockon:

also, nova gets to bang gamora while drax' daughter is banged by the lesbian version of quasar, with both chicks being members of the guardians at some point

josh brolin is thanos


Ever since his big, purple mug popped up at the end of The Avengers, we've been speculating about who will play Marvel's ultimate big bad, Thanos. And now we know. Josh Brolin has been cast as the Mad Titan.

Latino Review broke the news that Brolin has been officially cast in the role of Thanos (and the trades are backing up their story). According to Marvel movie head Kevin Feige, the role had been cast for awhile, but it seems they weren't ready to announce it until just now. The Infinity Gauntlet plot line has been teased out in the Marvel movies for a very long time now, revealing one gem after the other in each film. Now we know, for certain, that Thanos will be appearing in GOTG. However, he is not the main antagonist in this film. That role is filled by Ronan the Accuser, played by Lee Pace. We can only assume that Thanos will be manipulating things from behind the shadows—but will play a much larger part than he did in the Avengers film, obviously. Plus, if you believe certain whispers, Brolin could appear in Avengers 3 as the main villain.

We have to admit, we thought Thanos was going to be Benicio Del Toro. And before that, we suspected Vin Diesel would be voicing the role, but it turned out that he was cast as Guardians of the Galaxy team member Groot. But Brolin works; he's definitely got the intimidating pipes to play this villain.

People are gonna lose their shit when Adam Warlock shows up post credit scene

[Myth]

I was in a theater filled mostly with 20 year olds. They didn't seem to get the post-credit scene. I heard 1 kid explaining it to about 5 others in his group.

[Timmy D for MVP]

Damn. I have to ruminate on it. I'm gonna write up my spoil filled review tomorrow. But damn. I'd go see it again tomorrow if I was rich.

it was pretty cool for everyone in the theater to stay for the post credits scene

I didn't get it either, I thought it was just marvel trolling us. Is this stupid character supposed to be important or something?

[Shade8780]

Can't wait to see this. Might see it tomorrow since apparently there'll be a thunderstorm.

Probably won't understand the after-credits scene that you guys are talking about since I don't read the comics though.

post credits scene has nothing to do with the comics. if you are in your mid 30's and above or know some cult icons from the 80s you might get it :rockon:

[ballinhun8]

I liked the movie very much. Was surprised at how comedic they went for. But the story was good. Less fight scenes than other Marvel movies though.


Post credit scene was funny. I had read about him making a cameo earlier in the week and there he was. The movie really didn't tie to Avengers 2 like some thought. Just a connection to Thanos.



And now no other Marvel movie til Avengers 2. I have to think that Agents of Shield will be bigger this upcoming season and will have more responsibility to be a lead in to Avengers 2.

In white: Howard the Duck is Marvel owned and he had his own movie in the 80s. The movie is widely panned, but is also considered a cult classic. Many people in their late 20s and in their 30s grew up with the movie and love it mostly for nostalgia purposes, including myself.

I don't get the over fascination with Marvel Studio films. Particularly Guardians of the Galaxy. It looks uninteresting to me. And I saw an advanced sneak peak of it in IMAX, and still wasn't impressed.

[rezznor]

Couldnt find anything about him being post credits. Are you sure it is him? It does makes sense though, seeing as he is one of the only people who could defeat thanos.
i was just trolling i have no idea who's in the after post scene :D

[Nick Young]

I just saw this movie.

Best movie marvel has ever done. Head and shoulders above the rest. Much better then the fanservice clusterf*ck that was Avengers.

It was basically like a PG13 version of Star Wars with better characters and loads of really funny jokes that doesn't take itselt too seriously. THE ONLY THING STARWARS HAS ON THIS FILM IS NOSTALGIA.


Every character on the team is awesome, and the supporting characters too.

The two members of the team I thought would be the most boring and stupid going in to the film, Groot and Drax, were actually two of the coolest and funniest. I didn't know Batista had it in him. Zoe Saldana even wound up being really good. The whole team was awesome!

I cannot wait for the next one.


Best movie Marvel has ever made.
Much better then the avengers.
Easily comparable to Star Wars a New Hope and on the same level.
Best blockbuster I've seen in YEARS.

Believe the hype.

I will definitely rewatch it to see if it holds up, but my impression upon first viewing is that this was the perfect summer blockbuster.


Also it had the best post credit scene. Troll maneuver of the year!

I might actually go see it again today because my gf couldn't make the premier with me yesterday and she's actually interested in this Marvel film.

and this is one reason why marvel movies > dc ones. marvel is willing to take risks. honestly, who knew anything about the guardians before the movie was announced? main characters who are a tree and racoon, and they don't jar jar it? a director whos claim to fame are troma films? ant man movie next? and remember, iron man was a b-lister until the movie made him a-list. yes, they have their mainstream avengers, but they don't depend solely on them. upcoming movie candidates include black panther, captain marvel and dr strange.

meanwhile at DC, everything hinges on batman and then superman. again.

[Nick Young]

GOTG vs TDK?

Who wins?

[magic chiongson]

i was just trolling i have no idea who's in the after post scene :D

sequel mentioned to be released in 2017 migh feature adam warlock and nova (richard rider). i'm not sure how true though seeing as most of the characters in this movie don't have any superpowers.

[Timmy D for MVP]

GOTG vs TDK?

Who wins?

TDK is a better movie no doubt by a lot imo.

But I would much much rather watch GoTG.

[magic chiongson]

GOTG vs TDK?

Who wins?

apples to oranges. gotg is flat out comedy. one of the reasons why i didn't compare winter soldier to it.

in terms of fun though, gotg wins over any superhero/comicbook movie.

[rezznor]

nova and warlock definitely make sense to fight thanos. if i had to pick one, it would be nova since a new comic just launched with a brand new nova, and the corps are featured in this movie. also, we haven't seen warlock in a few years.

they haven't really followed the comic books' progression anyway. also, if they are going to make an infinity gauntlet movie they will need warlock and quasar to even out the odds against thanos, seeing as silver surfer is not a property of marvel films. there was this article i've read a few months ago about the agents of shield show mentioning a professor vaugh quite a few times. quasar (elvis vaughn) was a former shield agent and his father was a scientist.

The best superhero movie I've ever seen
10/10
Author: Dougal_95 from IRELAND
31 July 2014

I know, I know. This will incontrovertibly attract a lot of hate from die-hard Dark Knight fans, but guess what? I'm one of those who thinks Nolan is the epitome of how to make a perfect superhero spectacle.

Or at least, I was until tonight.

This film will blow your mind. Quite literally, it is jam-packed with edge-of-your-seat action thrills and pure comedic gold. Don't be expecting a moody companion piece like that of Nolan's trilogy, or Man of Steel. It keeps more in touch with Avengers, although it's a lot funnier and really builds upon the upcoming Infinity Gauntlet arc.

The actors are incredible, matching the character developments, the dialogue and action sequences are spectacular and the visual effects should surely earn a nod come Oscar time, as I'd personally put them on par with those seen in the recent Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The run length compliments the well-scripted pacing of the movie itself, whilst plenty of interesting secondary characters litter Guardians with an ensemble cast that has exceeded anything yet seen in the Marvel/DC movie worlds. I don't pertain to the DC versus Marvel argument, but this masterpiece alone has certainly put Marvel on the front foot in terms of cinema outings, far surpassing the very enjoyable Man of Steel and, I believe, edging out Nolan's trilogy and then some.

I thoroughly recommend this for any with a borderline sci-fi/superhero love, and advise you to remain for the tantalising post-credits scene, although many of the non-comic fans might not get the references.

Easily a perfect ten out of ten for me.

[Nick Young]

For real, I had the thought: "Well shit... maybe the new Star Wars IS in good hands."

Granted different crews but this shows that someone under the Disney blanket can be called for some advice.
Thats why I had no fear when I knew Disney bought star wars.

DISNEY IS A GOOD MOVIE STUDIO FOR THE MOST PART. They care a lot about money yes, but they also care about putting the best creatives in to top positions and allowing them to do what they do.

Guardians of the Galaxy given to an indie director, a multi million dollar budget flick about a bunch of comic characters no one knows about, a team consisting of a talking tree, a raccoon and Dave Batista, set in space, and still it winds up being the best blockbuster in years, and Dave Batista, who I hate in WWE, winds up being one of the stand out characters in the whole movie with brilliant delivery, charisma and comic timing.

Groot, a stupid talking tree that can only say "I am Groot" voiced by Vin Diesel winds up being one of the coolest members of the team.

After seeing this, I trust in Disney to come up with an amazing star wars movie.

Everything about this movie that I thought was an idiotic decision, when reading about the preproduction and casting wound up being a brilliant decision that was spot on.

Disney knows it's shit and New Star Wars will be amazing, at least 100 times better then the prequels.

Even John Carter was a great movie-no one just bothered to watch it because hardly anyone knows the books, it had a boring name and bad marketing.


I tell you though, New Star Wars will have to be phucking amazing if it is planning to top Guardians of the Galaxy.

[Nick Young]

From IMDb...
THe best part about it is it doesn't feel like a super hero movie, it feels like a comedy of a bunch of asshole space pirates and then warps into epic heroic badass overload in the final act, and because you know the characters so well after the first part, the final act has huge emotional payoff COMBINED with epic fights, so unlike most super hero movies I seen, the fight feels like it really means something.

[Rose]

Nick Young pretty much nailed it on his review. I had sky high expectations for this one since last year when I read all the comics in basically a weekend. Holy shit is this perfect. Best movie, and it really does have an outside chance of being the new Star Wars. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it does.

The only problem people might have are the comedy parts. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but if you're willing to accept that it's a bunch of goofballs, you'll like the movie.

[Batz]

Believe the hype. It was great watch from start to finish.

although i agree with you that disney is a good studio, i think gotg started production before mickey bought marvel (i may be wrong though). not to say that they didn't have a large role in the final product, but marvel studios have been doing a good job before disney came along.

[DirtBag]

Piggy backing with everyone else, great flick!

No just don't like excessive, tension deflating comedy, and terrible cookie cutter antagonists. MCU is overrated AF. I'm just ahead of the curve. Too much fan service.

I know bro lol we're good ... It's an unpopular opinion, but I can back it up with reasons. Prefer DC's more straight forward, heightened reality, and more mythic type approach to these mythologies.

It's cute at first, but after awhile all the jokes or forced comedy is annoying. See Thor, Thor DW, Iron Man 3, the Avengers, and even in what I've seen of GOTG they don't STFU with the jokes for even a hot second. It underminds the drama.

[Bcogswell]

I wanted to go to the midnight premiere last night but couldn't make it unfortunately. Now i'm stuck waiting till next week to go see it. :(

15 minutes in, power goes out in the theater........fml

"Too much fan service", "Heightened reality"...jizzes over Batman v Superman movie that also adds Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman and Lex Luthor. :lol

Outside Nolan's trilogy, DC has been pretty meh. But I guess you already forgot about Catwoman, Superman Returns, Green Lantern, Jonah Hex, and Man of Steel. Their only quality movies in the past 10 years aside from Nolan's gifts are V for Vendetta and Watchmen.

[jamal99]

Wow, so much hype. It looked like fun movie as soon as I found out about it, but damn...

I'm bought tho, gonna watch it as soon as it comes in movie theaters over here.

the trailers clearly showed it's going to be a comedy, what were you expecting from a movie with a talking raccoon and a tree?

[DaSeba5]

This was an amazing movie. Believe the hype! I also seemed to be the only one who knew who the character was in the scene after the credits.

[Swaggin916]

I thought it was kinda lame. 7/10. Some good laughs but otherwise unspectacular. My expectations were pretty high though. I felt that music stuff was totally forced.

[rezznor]

Haha nawwwww I see how you came to that conclusion.....I didn't realize there was a broken open cacoon.....and if I'm not mistaken Adam Warlock was made in a cacoon......
ok havent seen the movie yet but are u serious or are u trolling me? :oldlol:

It's true. Stay after the credits. It's easy to miss because it's not the main focus of the scene.

Nice. Marvel could very well create an entirely new sub universe to the mcu thats focused on the cosmic side. Gotg, Nova, quasar, warlock, etc. Thor could cross over between space and earth adventures.

Marvel is like the Apple of comics. Hard to believe they were nearly bankrupt not too long ago

[SpecialQue]

This might be my favorite Marvel film. I mean, this shit seems like it was made specifically to cater to my personal tastes. The only downside is a weak villain, but other than that, I loved this movie and plan on seeing it again.

I haven't seen the Thor sequel, but fvck, Marvel's just been knocking out of the park with Phase 2. Every single one of these movies has kicked ass (even though I know opinion is divided on Iron Man 3), and I'm seeing a lot of people putting Winter Solider or Guardians at the top of their "best Marvel movie" lists. Shit, I even saw one person put Thor 2 on the top of their "best of Marvel" list.

The hype for Avengers 2 is going to be insane.

[Godzuki]

alright just got home...movie is still pretty fresh. didn't really read any reviews other than seeing some high scores before seeing it.

gave it a 9.8/10 :pimp:

never read the comic, never even heard of it....was thinking it was more geared towards kids type thing tbh(initially worried i wouldn't like it because of this feeling) which it sort of is but its all inclusive great movie. this audience in the theater was super annoying like really goofy outburst laffs constantly. i mean really bad laffs even snorts at times from nerd adults at bad moments at times too :facepalm lil kids talking every so often...reminded me of why i hate seeing movies like this due to audience. you dont get these people at Apes, Lucy, etc.

i fukkin loved the raccoon. my new favorite movie character :bowdown:

Amazing acting IMO. i'm sure a lot of that credit goes to the director as well but man did they all come across so natural, or how their character's personality worked. I just kept thinking how bad Lucas is these days, and the recent Star Wars were since that shit is so amateur when you compare it to a movie done like this. Its unbelievably bad actually where this puts the recent Star Wars to shame in terms of natural acting and charisma.

I thought the script was excellent. personalities came out thru script, each character had their own things going...and the jokes worked based off of that.

i was enthralled for the first hour and half...it was like being introduced to complete strangers and falling in love with this crew(i never liked the tough guy much tho). i LOVED the gadgets...but i always love that stuff in movies and this had a lot of it. it was probably one of my favorite things in this movie, very creative.

only reason i didn't give it a 10/10 is the ending. It was still pretty good, and i get there is more to 'him' than meets the eye so there is at least a explanation but it had a touch of gay/corny.

Overall tho man this was a surprisingly great movie. I honestly didn't think i'd love it this much but i did. Haven't had this feeling of great fun movie in a looong ass time. Will be buying on DVD as soon as it comes out and probably watching again. A Classic IMO :pimp:

I thought Thor 2 was one of the weakest of the Marvel movies, if not the weakest. The only redeeming thing was Loki who was awesome. Other than that, it was pretty paint by numbers and the villian was just awful.

[rezznor]

Haha I haven't seen the movie yet either, but when you said Adam Warlock I did a shit load of research and found there was a broken cacoon. Warlock and Nova make too good of sense not to add them in later. Plus Warlock has a infinity gem, which Thanos is trying to steal them all
Lol I'm a prophet then! I was just screwing around when I mentioned warlock

[Godzuki]

Tough guy as in Batista? Arguably my favourite character.


lol i'm so bad with names of people and stuff...

the guy whose wife and kids were killed by the bad guy leader. i just didn't like him and his character much. oh and i get why people like him because of him taking everyting literally but i thought that was great script, or written character...and i guess i shoud give him credit for pulling it off well too. just didn't like how he was more physical only fighter who got his ass kicked tryiing to fight the big guy and was pretty dumb about his whole revenge thing

i was very partial towards Starlord and the raccoon. raccoon was definitely my favorite character tho.

[Godzuki]

Theater I was at loved Batista. Laughed at everything he said.


my theater was laffing at everything...it was pretty annoying tbh.

pretty loud throughout...but i'm used to quiet audiences, probably most recent movies i watched were more serious.

[Godzuki]

wow just read thru this whole thread. i had no idea of something happening after credits...no wonder 3/4's of the theater still sat there like the movie was still going.

its odd how i know who Adam Warlock is when i used to read comics back in the day but never heard of Guardians of the Galaxy, and him being a part of them. I mostly only know him thru the Avengers/Fantastic Four comics and him being way OP at some point with that infinity gauntlet...which i guess ties to this orb?

funny how good this turned out, but i wouldn't even put this in the super hero genre more space action adventure....and i'm with some of you where i'm sick of super hero movies too(thought i'd never say this a few years ago).


edit - god i can't get this movie out of my head right now. its like i want to know everything about it, might have to go read the wiki's on GOTG or something....can't even do anything else right now since its all i'm thinking about lol. need this to die down some, its like after movie hyped up still.

honestly don't see how its a big deal but i did...like talking about aspects of the movie stuff is more spoiler than that lol. oh well.

After credit scene (http://jon177.tumblr.com/post/93499769492/full-video), I don't see the broken cocoon, didn't see one when I went to the movies either.


watch this video, it references and shows the cocoon easter egg in the collector's chambers. this is from the thor movie though, not gotg

Awesome movie.

Ill go a 2nd time.

[raiderfan19]

I didn't think it was quite an awesome movie, but I did think it was an awesome performance by Chris Pratt.

Also Ronan was done absolutely perfectly.

Theater I was at loved Batista. Laughed at everything he said.
Batista killed it, who would have known he had it in him?

wow just read thru this whole thread. i had no idea of something happening after credits...no wonder 3/4's of the theater still sat there like the movie was still going.


:biggums:

this is the 10th Marvel Cinematic Universe flick and you don't know that they all have a scene after the credits by now?

Enjoyed the hell out of this one. Thanos and Ronan got audible gasps from me; it'd be pretty rad if Marvel started digging more into the Kree v. Skrull saga.

Performances were great all around, some good laugh-out-loud moments.

Unfortunately, I think Fox owns the Skrulls since they own all the Fantastic Four characters. Which is a fvcking shame, because after watching Guardians of the Galaxy, I think Marvel would have made an amazing Fantastic Four film.

Guardians of the Galaxy Crushes Box Office Records With $94M Opening

Not long ago, people were convinced that Guardians of the Galaxy was too minor a franchise with too goofy a premise to succeed at the box office. Disney shut those critics up this morning, reporting a weekend haul of $94-million dollars

lol i really didn't know it was a every marvel movie thing. i think i might have seen it once awhile back where i stayed but i can't even remember. funny thing is i've seen like every marvel movie i think, i know at least most but i wouldn't consider it a big deal enough to stay all of the time either.

some kids in the theater seemed to know he was going to say this, so i'm guessing its either his trademark or they saw it before that showing. basically they said it before he said it where it was audible...i liked that moment too tho, love Rocket :bowdown:


nice to read its crushing, it deserves it.

[SupermanOnSteroids]

actually saw that movie and was plesantly surprised. especially that racoon was hot as hell. i mean i wanted to jump his bone. i was extremly dissapointed realizing that he wasn't real, or else i would have totally suced his dick and became his bich.

Got one question how is rocket raccoon able to carry heavy weapons with such ease?

I don't know specifics, but it could have been one of the things they did when they experimented with him.

[oh the horror]

I'm going to see it Tuesday. I've heard nothing but good feedback from people though. Some saying it's like "Star Wars" although I'm not sure what that means other than it's awesome and in space?



Guardians has more of a cult comic following from my knowledge. One things for sure, they blew up. Marvel has just been knocking out hits.

GotG surprised me. Very good movie. They had a nice mixture of goofyness and serious tone. The movie didn't take itself that seriously, but it was weird when it came to the parts where they got serious. It was that good weird tho. I was wondering why did it worked so well in the movie.

I'm going to watch it again. Fun space adventure. It makes me feel sad and mad about DC tho. Watching the visuals and stuff makes me feel why can't Green Lantern do this? If Marvel could do this weird film and make it really good and one of the best movies yet, DC gott'a step it up. Batman vs Superman better be amazing. And watching this movie makes me realize all of the other space movies Hollywood could produce. Like Cowboy Bebop. Just replace the 70s and 80s soundtrack of GotG with some smooth jazz, and you got Cowboy Bebop.

And dat Thanos voice doe. Awesome!

Live action Bebop would just be Twilight with the characters plugged in. Hollywood gives no fvcks.

Hope not, lol. They are doing something pretty revolutionary with the Marvel movies by connecting it and it being consistently good. Give the credit to the Marvel Studios from recognizing talent.

Not a good track record when it comes to anime movies from Hollywood tho. But Cowboy Bebop can be done after watching GotG. Just replace the music with some smooth jazz and there you go.

[Nick Young]

Cowboy bebop would not become Twilight. It would be a sick film, or even better a sick live action HBO series

The reason this movie was better than green lantern is mostly Chris Pratt with a little help from bautista. I mean this movie had lots of places where they could have lost it and didnt. You guys need to calm down with the one of the best movies yet nonsense though. This isn't a top ten comic book movie.

yes it is, what super hero movies are better? actually NM i asked, its going to be complete personal bias towards your heroes anyways.... green lantern was fukkin terrible, arguably one of the worst super hero movies made so far. as a super hero dude was gay as fukk, but hey i was always partial towards marvel anyways....still, i don't know anyone that liked green lantern back in the day, he was like aquaman...they were almost as bad as the monkey twins from super friends :wtf:

and i disagree completely about this movie only being about chris pratt :facepalm altho he was great...

script was excellent, better than all comic book movies before it. that dialogue throughout was consistently good, easily above par. even if i wasn't as big a fan of Bautista's literal interpretation of everything the whole movie theater seemed to have loved it, including a lot here. and the acting intercourse between all of them pulled it off extremely well. there is so much this movie did right its hilarious how you can be so off with what you said, especially given 95% of everyone else are saying the complete opposite :biggums:

Green lantern sucked balls.

But in no order all 3 Nolan batmans, old Keaton batman original superman, iron man, Thor, captain America 2, avengers and man of steel were better than this.

[Godzuki]

seen all of them, i'll just say i disagree strongly. lol the old keaton batmans were almost a joke altho i suppose they have their own kind of joke factor charm to them especially with that version of penguin but some of those bad guy scenes like the ducks can be so bad. i already gave my 2 cents on the nolan Batmans in some wall of txt, i won't bother repeating that and i can't really argue with how so many people loved it so....i'm in the minority on that one and i get that.

i thought iron man was very basic super hero movie but it was his origins movie...i thought thor was overrated, especially the 2nd one which i haven't got thru yet(on hbo/show) altho got like 3/4's before i passed out.

i didn't mention this in my othere wall of txt review regarding Avengers but u know what really annoys me about these team ones? its like a lot of fan service where they each have to get their 10-15 min's of fame on screen individually...and its so fan service'y imo.

Man of Steel was hard for me to figure otu why i didn't like it that much. i mean the action was pretty good but i think it might be Superman and how he is so unbeatable without kryptonite kind of stuff, and to have a lot of them was like watching Hulk take so many things that can't really hurt them. I mean so much crashing each other into buildings...buses, etc. being thrown on each other but really doing so little. i get that the destruction is a big part of these super hero movies but it gets very redundant after so long, like Transformers redundant imo. also felt extremely drab picture style...but i guess that was to give it all a more serious tone. something about it tho left me feeling it was very lacking...

Winter Soldier...guess this is another one i can't really argue with how many loved it but i swear it felt very redundantly super hero to me. SHIELD had a lot of involvement and the Scooby Doo always kills me in any movie they pull that....also i never was a big fan of Captain America's powers so i guess thats just me, even the black guy with the wings i thought was lame. meh :confusedshrug:

but this ^ is probably why i'm sick of super hero movies these days....

[Nick Young]

In Avengers I just didn't get this part-if Thor is a god, and capable of thunder storms, why didn't he just easily fight off the alien invasion singlehandedly by himself?

I didn't understand why Hawkeye and Iron Man and Captain America and Black Widow had to be there. Surely Hulk and Thor are strong enough to tank that entire invasion single handedly without even getting scratched.

[Clyde]

:roll:

Give me a break

Anything with Superman has been horrible. Easily the worst of the main characters in comics.

[magic chiongson]

Because they nerfed Thor hard in the movies. He's supposed to be Marvel's anser to Superman and in the movies they hardly depict him as such.
this. gamora in gotg seems to have been nerfed as well, she should be able to knock out peter quill easily and take on anyone in the prison. she looked like an ass-kicking disney princess instead.

also ronan's hammer (universal weapon) was severely nerfed, spoiler: it looked like a plain melee weapon before it got the infinity gem.

Hawkeye, Cap, and Black Widow basically just protected civilians. Thor, Iron Man, and Hulk kicked ass which is pretty much the way it should have gone. The only part where Thor getting nerfed is in his own movies. They could have some really cool battle scenes with him but his fights are always lame.

To each their own man.

I just wish the Green Lantern would focus more on space part and better script. You see potential there and Sinestro would be an awesome villain if they do it right. Seeing GotG makes me want that. And Cowboy Bebop. Just steal the director.



Pretty much. Even though I don't think Man Of Steel was really that bad at all.

Man of Steel had awesome action scenes. Like if DBZ style were implemented in theatres, that's how the fighting would be. I just thought they were all convoluted at the end. But looking at Marvel and the chances that they took with lesser known superheros makes me sad with DC. Where's my Flash movie, damn it!

Anyway, there ARE some good Superman stories that they could implement to the movies. They also could beat Marvel to the punch and do the Kingdom Come storyline (kind'a like Marvel's Civil War arc, tho they don't seem to be doing that arc). That would be epic if they could pull it off or the Tower of Babel. I know they won't follow the comics panel to panel, but they could be influence by it and do their own take. Nolan was highly influence by some of Batman's classics like the Long Halloween, Batman Year One, The Killing Joke (I think), and No Man's Land. And they could finally introduce Brainic (hopefully they follow the Superman TAS version), Darkseid, Doomsday, and Metallo. They don't need to focus on Lex Luthor all the time.

Anyway, Marvel's about to do the Infinity Gauntlet arc.

The next movie with Superman is influence by The Dark Knight Returns tho! I really hope Batman says that line tho. "I want you to remember, Clark

I think someone said this. Marvel really expanded their universe. They already establish some good stuff here:

Earth issues: Cap, Hulk, IM, Thor
Bridge between Earth and Space issues: Thor and Avengers
Cosmic level threat issues: GotG

Now if they could do the Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four right then all hail. Too bad Marvel Studios can't do a Spiderman film. It would be so sweet to see him interact with everything.

All because it wasnt spearheaded by Marvel.

[Jailblazers7]

I was excited about the new Spiderman because they went with the Gwen Stacy story line instead of Mary Jane. The Stacy storyline is just better and much less annoying on screen. Didn't see the 2nd but the 1st one was solid. It didn't take itself as seriously as the Raimi movies which I thought was great. I went back and watched the old Spiderman's a while ago and they don't hold up all that well. Only Spiderman 2 has rewatchability.

[EnoughSaid]

Okay so I was realllly excited to see this movie, and while I thought it was funny, and really entertaining, I can't help but want more info and explanations. Let me know what Thanos is capable of.

Anyway, I still feel like Avengers, Winter Soldier, and Days of Future Past were better movies, but this one is right behind.

If it makes you feel any better, at the very least Sony is reconsidering the Spider-man franchise. Pushing the third one back 2 years, and production for the first spin off hasn't started yet. Plus with Sony (as a company not directly the movie studio) having financial troubles who knows maybe in a year or so (particularly if the first spin off gets in development hell or even worse in 2 years it bombs) Sony offers Spidey back for a billion or so, and we get a Spidey Cameo in time for Avengers 3.:lol

Marvel knows that Spidey is EASILY the most marketable superhero alongside Batman. A Marvel Spiderman movie would become the highest grossing comic book movie of all time. Why don't they just offer a large sum of money??

The boss of Sony's movie division has said multiple times that they will never let go of Spiderman b/c its too profitable.

They would have to absolutely run the character into the ground with a string of god awful flicks that lost a shit ton of money before they ever considered selling it back to Marvel.

Because if they depicted Thor in the movies as he is in the comics, he'd be OP'd and you'd frankly have no need for anyone else. That's why translating characters from the comics to live-action has to come with certain compromises, while it's important to remain true to the spirit of the character there are certain things that just don't translate well.

Yeah, he plays a loveable moron with a big heart on Parks and he is great in the role. He has some scenes in that show that have made me laugh harder than anything I can remember watching on TV.

not sure how I feel about them being just cops but what happens in the movie tells me that they need to be stronger next time around, or at least have 1 powerful guy in their ranks ....

I agree with the one guy thing. I think practically if it had been a whole fleet of Nova Corps members from the comics zooming around it would look goofy on film. But have at least one guy, like one Nova Prime just out doin his thing.

Finally watched it today it was great movie better than I excepted. When I first saw the trailers many months ago I thought it was a little cheesy. When it started to get get positive feedback from many people including people close to me I decided to watch and was quite pleased.

[secund2nun]

Pathetic movie. I just don't understand the praise Marvel gets. Most of the recent Marvel movies have been utter trash. Is Marvel Studios run by advanced aliens that send brainwashing rays that make people love their trash?

Avengers was trash yet received acclaim. Same with Iron Man 3 and Guardians of the Galaxy. I bet they could release a movie about ballerinas and people would gush about it. There is a nationwide cult of fans for these poor Marvel movies.

Also, I think Marvel is trying to avoid going full space retard like Green Lantern did. Throwing too much too soon, to an audience that isn't well versed in the ongoing marvel space opera. Particularly since they are already throwing a bunch of new weird in the movie. Grounded always plays better with the general mainstream audience.
