So, what did you guys think?

 

I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, though there were some things that could be improved I would rank it pretty highly in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It didn't take itself too seriously, and proved that Disney/Marvel can do good by the Sci-Fi Genre. It was a big risk in a lot of ways, being based on a not-super-well-known characters, taking place light years from Earth, with a director who hasn't really done high budget films before. 

 

 

Spoilers! Though the plot was, at it's core, a "get the macguffin before the bad guy" the effort to give back stories and real emotion to the characters helped leaven that. The cameo at the very end of the credits was something that I knew was going to happen, but was still surprised to see. The film bogs down a bit when the exposition on who's who and who wants to do what to who is happening, but fortunately those scenes aren't that frequent. 

 

It was also nice to see a superhero-ish movie that tried to minimize civilian casualties. 

 

The music really tied the film together, both honoring Star Lord's 1970s origins and establishing the through-line of his connection to his mom and the planet she was from. It grounds the film while getting away from generic action movie music for important scenes.

94 million OW!!!!!!! Beastly!!!!

Aweeeeeeeesome movie. I saw it friday with my cousin. From the very get go, you knew the movie was going to be good, with the backstory feels transitioning into that opening sequence that set the tone for the rest of the movie. The humor was very well done, the main cast all played their parts well. Definitely a movie i would want to see again.

Probably one of the best done intro scenes I've seen in a Marvel movie so far.

I also loved alot of the meta references in the movie, well at least i interperted them as such.

1. Opening scene, starlord tells one of the grunts to "stop poking me you ninja turtle", possibily refering to tmnt coming out this weekend, and gotg trying to hold the top spot again.

2. When the gaurdians defeated ronan with the infinity stone, which was pretty much them killing him with friendship, a la another 80's property, care bear stare ftw! Lol

3. When yondu opens up the swicthed out orb that starlord gave him, he was literally "trolled" with the troll doll lol

I did not know much about it and just thought it looked funny. When I saw it I was completely blown away it was hilarious, awesome, and was very surprised when thanos and an infinity stone appeared. I am loving all marvel right now xD. Best part is mini groot dancing ftw
