Guardians of the Galaxy

[NorthCyd]

My Grandparents took my little brother and a cousin to the south part movie when they were 9 not realizing what it was but they assumed since it was a cartoon it was appropriate for kids. Wow were they ****** next time they better look at the rating.

I remember going to see that movie and they were carding people both at the ticket counter and the theater door! Only movie I've ever been to where that happened. The best part was Matt and Trey knew it would happen and incorporated it into their movie with the whole R rated Terrance and Phillip movie and the anger from the parents leading to war with Canada. Genius!

A theater in New Jersey showed Rise of the Guardians instead of Guardians of the Galaxy.

That's somewhat understandable. I took my son to the lego movie, and some squirrel movie started playing. No one did anything for a couple minutes until we realized it wasn't an extended preview.

I'm guessing the talking racoon in the commercials might throw off some peoples expectations.

Only if they completely miss the fact the talking raccoon is ****** off and shooting an automatic weapon at people. I honestly don't know how anyone could watch the trailer and not have serious reservations about taking a kid too it. I guess these are the same folks that buy their 8 year old the latest GTA for their birthday.

Go see this movie. I didn't know what to expect and was thought it was great. Like, I can't wait for the next one great.

The people saying it's violent??? The "people" getting killed are faceless aliens. Even when the city is getting dive bombed they don't show any "human" death at all. I can't think of one time during the movie that I was thinking, wow this is violent. A lot of people get the holy crap beat out of them in this movie and don't even bleed. In fact they don't even die. Most of the killings in this are w/o blood and guts either. Some of the violence is even funny. Lighten up people. It's a super hero movie.

Phenomenal movie. Enjoyed this the whole way through.

The character that I think the one post objected to has been violent and nuts since I first read comics with him in the 70s and early 80s. That's who the character has always been.

Really enjoyable throughout. I believe I'll see it again.

Great movie; my third favorite movie of the summer behind "X-Men; Days of Future Past" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes". Easily worth seeing a 2nd time on the big screen.

Probably one of the funnier, if not the funniest, Marvel movie I've seen. There were quite a few "laugh out loud" moments. Loved Chris Pratt as Peter Quill, and Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket is great. I never thought I would praise Vin Diesel, but even though he really has just one line as Groot he does so many variations with it that he really makes the character work.

Can't wait until next weekend when my sister and brother-in-law come up to visit - we have "preliminary" permission to go see this movie while my wife and sister watch the kids.

Went to it today. Thought it was great. I have never read the comics so I didn't have any expectations.

Thought it was really funny, well acted, and really fun to watch. If the new Jurassic Park is any good, Chris Pratt is on his way to be a HUGE movie star.

And well deserved. He's extremely versatile, already fantastic at the comedy genre with P&R. Now add in super hero and action star? It's awesome for him. He's also rumored for a Knight Rider feature film.

Saw it this weekend. Thought it was great. Would love to see a GOTG and Avengers crossover. Tons of potential there. For example I would love to watch a scene with Tony Stark and Rocket working together to build something (and disagreeing).

I think that would be cool, but my goodness there would be a lot going on in a GOTG and Avengers crossover.

Some are speculating that a merger could happen for the 3rd Avengers and/or GOTG movie.

Wasn't Thanos the post-credits scene for the last Avengers movie? That storyline could make for the next film with both sets. That movie would just print its own money.

I don't collect comics as closely as I used to but I'm curious how the GotG comics from the 90s will react to the film being a hit. Talk about a series nobody gave a crap about, I bet a lot of them got junked in the 90s comic crash when they were quarter books at best. I sold most of my comics but I do still have my original copies of Infinity Gauntlet and Thanos Quest along with some Thanos story Silver Surfer issues that I wouldn't mind being worth more $ from this movie direction.

The next Avengers movie, Age of Ultron, is coming out May 1, 2015. The next GOTG movie is planned for July 28, 2017.

I figured there was another Avengers in the pipe already

Here's the poster they released:

He may be polarizing but you gotta laugh at Bill Maher's comment on the Avengers:
"If Thor is a god, then what's the point of having the other 15 avengers? Especially the ones whose talents are archery and big +i+s and a handgun."

I thought that GoG was really good. Lots of action and comedy. Effects were great. It's just so far out there that there really hasn't been anything like it. If you don't take it too seriously, I don't know how you couldn't like it. Entertaining at the very least.

Funny you mention that.. my buddy lent me his guardians of the galaxy comics. I think they were some of the first ones. Anyway the first 3-4 issues had Iron Man in it. I dont really remember his role though. Pretty sure Tony was put in the early comics so Marvel could get more readers into the series
