Guardians of the Galaxy (Film) - 8/1/14 - Starring Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Benic

[illmaticsoulchild]

The movie was about as expected. Pratt was okay, but nothing special. Zaldana gave a typical solid action performance. Bautista's performance was the weakest, but wasn't horrible. Groot and RR were obviously the highlights of the film. Ronan was a great looking villain, but in the end, was only slightly better than Malekith. There were a couple good jokes in there, but it wasn't the comedy I was hearing about. Soundtrack was great but I thought it was too much of a focus (a la Braff's Garden State).

I know that Gunn probably thought the post-credits scene was funny, but I hated it. I was hoping for more of a tease to the Avengers. Whatever, at least I got to see Thanos.

I would say that I'm surprised that a second has already been announced, but given the fact that it will be a year after AoU, it may be able to use their momentum to get a bigger box office return. IMO though, they should just integrate Groot and RR into their more mainstream films. UNLESS, they decide to actually explore the Marvel cosmic universe.

And about the whole "going to movies by yourself" discussion, I don't see an issue with it and actually prefer it. Then again, most of my friends of family aren't into film as much as I am. I'm the type that goes in early and is anal about finding the perfect spot to sit. I actually care about the trailers while my friends/family do not. I also hate being asked questions during the movie.

Also, the Interstellar trailer looked and sounded amazing in IMAX.

Going out to the movies has always been a social event for me. Go somewhere to eat before the movies, talk about the movie before you see it, talk about the movie after you see it, maybe go out to eat something after again, talk about the movie some more. Laugh at the funny jokes together. That kinda stuff.

Going to the movies alone really takes out the enjoyment factor for me, and decreases the cost/enjoyment ratio. There's not many movies out there that I want to see so bad I'm willing to see it alone. The last movie was probably the Avengers (even though I got to see it with people).

If no one wanted to see GoTG with me, I might've watched it alone because I've been waiting for it a long time.

I'm just lucky that most of the movies I really, really want to see there's usually someone willing to see it with me.

All dis. Me and and bros always see Marvel films. It's just what we do. Eat, talk, Drink, watch movie, talk more, and maybe do something else after.

That is insecure, a movie isn't really a social event anyways. Life is filled with many opportunities to be social. I can't see staying back from seeing something I really want to because schedules don't work out and its "lame". I hope you're younger than 19.

You sound angry B. I'm in no way insecure. I just like having fun.

I would have liked a tease to a future film as well with a mid credits scene. Introduce S.W.O.R.D at the least since everyone knows alien life forms exist.

I guess that could be BRB, got to see how it looks on the big screen. There's a hammer silhouette inside the cage too but that really makes no sense to put it in there with him because then he'd just break out. You can see Howard the Duck chilling on the cage above too so it isn't him in the lower right cage.

Shouldn't BRB be teased in a Thor film? Why would they do it here? I know nothing about him tho, so maybe that's why I'm asking.

 

[Mark Antony]

How's that angry? I see these with my dudes all the time, but would never wait if they couldn't see one. we're all dead silent when it starts anyways which is the main reason we're there. I can understand your options for fun are limited when you're that young anyways, makes sense its a focus.

It's a single universe. What does it matter which film someone is teased in?

 

[Sir San Diego]

Going to the movies by yourself is prettyyyyyyyy lame, but I guess if folks like to do that, then it's cool

You mean going with someone you don't have to explain every scene too (myself) and having two seats to yourself is lame? That's news to me.

I go to the movies solo sometimes and went solo both times to see GOTG.

No lameness felt.

Much appreciated

And BRB could have been introduced as being recruited by Nova Corps as part of a special team to protect the Infinity Stones in a mid credits scene.

nt'ers just have weird views on stuff. We've had threads about this before and some act like eating by yourself or watching a movie alone will make them a loser and everyone will find out.

 

[sunshineblotters]

I feel most people are insecure about being seen by themselves. I always have to tell the ticket receptionist "Yes I want 'just' one ticket"

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Going to the theater with my girl sucks sometimes

She doesn't get a lot of the references and can't really get hype with her.

When I go with my boy he knows wassup

 

[Grine]

You must be hella insecure lol.

Going to the movirs dolo >>>

This.

Seems like he's more integral to Thor

 

[rell826]

Thanos Imperative storyline says otherwise. More in line with the GOTG.

I'm 21 breh. I mean I'm young and all, but you makin it seem like I'm in high school.

Okay , that makes sense. I said I may be asking the question because I don't know much about him.

 

[blastercombo]

Was Thanos not voiced by darkside?

Cant be howard the duck...the person or things skin tone was tan/orange-ish. No helmet no armor all you see is a red cape and broad shoulders. Background on the right hand side in a glass case. Not standing up.

Unless Howard has a new power that makes him 10x the size he is, the scene dudes are referring to isn't him.

I just got back from seeing it and literally right after the scene there's a credit for someone being Howard the Duck.

My man we know there was Howard the duck, we're talking about the scene posted literally a few posts before yours that also has Howard separate from the being in question.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

On the topic of Thanos, I wonder if they're going to focus on each of the infinity gems (stones). Ronan was using the purple gem (for space) so he technically would have had rearranged space. For some reason, I think Marvel may just play it so that each gem has immense power and fully formed will just grant omnipotence.
