Guardians of the Galaxy

I tried looking for an existing thread, but didn't find one. I blame our shitty search engine. FYI, I know that there is an existing thread in the Comic Book Movies forum, but not everyone goes there so I'm making one for here.

This movie is either going to be hilariously good, or mind numbingly bad.

What do you think?

It looks very badass. Maybe one of the best MCU films yet, the tone is pretty different but I think it will be great.

I'm not impressed but that's mostly due to me never giving a shit about the Guardians of the Galaxy. I do hope I'm proven wrong when the actual flick comes out. On the bright side if Marvel can pull this off, they will have the cred they need to do anything with the B and C list heroes on the big screen

It's not so much the visuals but the choice of music/songs that had me cringing.

After the serious tone of Avengers, it feels that Marvel's using this movie to cater to a younger audience....I'm not saying that's bad but I won't be walking out the cinemas with that "wow" feeling I got after watching The Avengers for the first time.

Yeah, I agree. I mean, I think the movie shouldn't take itself too seriously, obviously, but I prefer an orchestral OST. Would have had a better impact for the trailer, I think. But I know nothing about GotG.. I just hope it's fun.

Looks like it's aiming for the fast witty humour that Avengers had and missing by a long way. I think this is going to be a lesson in the difference between using a good director and a bad one.

^ Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but I'm trying to be optimistic. He doesn't exactly have an established resume. Slither I've seen, and I had mixed feelings about it. It was sort of a horror/comedy. This looks like an action/adventure comedy. But you know, I thought Zack Snider's Dawn of the Dead was really bad, but he's turned out to be pretty good with these bigger action-adventure comic films (aside from Sucker Punch). So this may be a good fit for this director... who knows. He's obviously gonna be doing his best to prove himself.

Man that looks like boo boo

first trailer was shit... none of these characters seem interesting

i liked the guardians when starhawk was a member though

On second watch the trailer isn't horrible. I guess I just had unreasonably high expectations.

I cant say im Avengers level of excited but I will be seeing this.

My biggest worry is that James Gunn is the director. I've only seen two of his films (Slither and Super) but I thought both were trash.

Still, I'm really looking forward to this. Looks far more interesting than the typical super hero fare.

Love the middle finger bit, that was funny

my expectations for this are very low, so hopefully this will turn out good

Best. Tagline. Ever.

My friend are thinking Batista's gonna ruin this

I really don't like the (teaser) trailer very much. This is more and more looking kind of crappy to me. But, at least it will have an ass-kicking raccoon in it... 😆

This actually looks insanely good. The best movies have the ability to make fun of themselves.

I can't friggin wait. Looks awesome
