"I am Groot" is the new "Hodor".

The scene where they're planning things and he keeps interjecting, "I am Groot," and Rocket can completely understand him was hilarious. "I am Groot." "So what it's better than 11%, what does that have to do with anything?!"

I don't want to add more spoilers yet, but I think all but one of my favorite scenes involved Groot.

Well, one more spoiler...

When Peter is dancing to distract Ronan was hilarious, simply because of the look of confusion and horror on Ronan's face. That was priceless.

I still can't get over seeing this kid at the end 

[Method of Madness]

Wait, that was KAREN GILLIAN? Also, Karen Gillian is younger than me? I did not know that.

[Blue Kitty]

Yeah man, she showed up to a Comicon panel last year (I think) and took off her wig to announce she would be in the movie.

[Method of Madness]

Yeah, well...ok then. She blue herself.

[Blue Kitty]

I thought up some grips, but these are nitpicky at best.

-I wish that Drax was a lighter green. I felt that his being a darker green it was harder to see his tattoos, and in the comics he and Gamora are close to the same color
-Once again, I wish we saw more of Nebula. She was being touted as being as much a badass as Gamora, but we didn't really get to see her in action
-While I wished to see the Nova Corp more like the comics, I did enjoy the planetary defender thing they had going in the movie, but it's strange that Nova Prime is more of a president than an all powerful being
-It's weird to me that they used Ronan since he's more of a bad guy/good guy than a straight up bad guy. Though it may have been a rub at Fox so they couldn't use him in their Fantastic Four movies.

[Method of Madness]

I honestly didn't know Drax wasgreen...or tattooed for that matter, I just thought he was really fucking veiny.

[Lupercal]

He is Groot

WE ARE Groot!

Guardians was terrific. Don't think I've heard the cinema laugh like that even at a 'proper' comedy. Chris Pratt...he deserves an award. I don't think I've even got any major gripes with the film - cinematography was fantastic, cast was great, story fairly easy but not so deterministic that it turned into an epic.

Drax is blue, isn't he?

[Blue Kitty]

Pic is broken.

Drax has not so much tattoos in the movie, it looks more like scarification. Awesome scarification.

[Thrillho]

Dave Batista - the best thing about Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014, arguably the worst thing about WWE in 2014.

Having not seen the film I can't comment on the former, but I certainly don't agree with the latter 

[GarandMarine]

Well the former is 100% false because Dave Batista is definitely not Rocket Racoon.

[Edguy]

Saw it yesterday, good, not as great as I had hoped from the critical reactions, but still enjoyed it a lot! Some of the action scenes got a little "flashy" at points, with there being a little too much weird lightning and sharp sounds for my taste. I think the movie was at its best when the Guardians were just hanging out. IMO the fight cinematography & choreography was a lot better in The Winter Soldier. The tone was pretty all over the place, and a little hard to follow at times, but it was managed ok for the most part, imo!

(click to show/hide)

I also don't really think either Drax nor Rocket really got any "moments of awesome", fight scene wise, which is a shame. They definitively stole scenes outside of the battles tho!

My least favorite part of the movie was the air battle segments, the whole thing with the Novas trying to stop the Dark Astor with a blanket of small (manned..) air crafts was pretty dumb. Also, James Gunn needs to respect cold vacuum. That shit'll do more than put frost on your cheeks..

(click to show/hide)

Woah, Howard the Duck? What's up with that? Is it just a nod to the fans, or do they intend to bring him in for the sequel?

(click to show/hide)

And btw, shouldn't The Collector have a more secure establishment than that, considering the Asgardians entrusted him with the red Infinity Stone? (What happened to that, btw?) One unloyal servant girl didn't seem like much of a staff for the ancient dude.

[Neko_Ali]

Rocket was definitely the best character in Guardians. Most of the others had some great lines and scenes... Sadly I felt Gamora was the weakest character on the team, and Nebula was even worse. I wish they would do more with Collector though. Benecio Del Toro is an inspired choice for him, but all he seems to do in the movies so far is show up, look like he's smelling something foul and spout some exposition.

(click to show/hide)

I do doubt what we saw here was his entire collection. It seems really unlikely he would make his base of operations on Knowhere. Being populated by scofflaws and well.. anyone at all. It seems more likely he just set that up as a base of operations temporarily while trying to find the Power Gem. But of course, being the Collector, he had to have at least some of his collection there to enjoy.

[Torlek]

If they follow the comics the Collector has entire planets where he keeps his main collection. What we see on Knowhere is equivalent to the little souvenirs you keep in your pocket.

[Welu]

I enjoyed Guardians Of The Galaxy so much and to explain what I love would basically just be repeating chunks of the film and dialogue.

[GarandMarine]

I liked Guardians of the Galaxy so much I will likely be seeing it again this weekend.

[Lines]

Sadly I felt Gamora was the weakest character on the team, and Nebula was even worse.

I agree. I really feel like they didn't do as much as they could/should have with Nebula. I like Karen Gillian, but I feel like she just wan't given an opportunity to really do much with her character. She was kind of flat.

(click to show/hide)

My favorite line by Gamora was where Star-Lord was talking about Flashdance and she asked, "Who put the sticks up their butts?"

[Method of Madness]

I'd say that Rocket and Groot together were the best part of the movie.

Captain America Beats Up Batman, WB Changes Dawn of Justice Release Date
WB flinched. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is no longer sharing a release date with Captain America 3. Anyone surprised?

[GarandMarine]

I'm shocked a Warner Brothers Exec let that happen in the first place.

So, is Howard the Duck going to be a serious part of the marvel movie-verse, or was that a one-off appearance?  Also: Was he part of the collection, or an employee, or what?  I feel like he would have run off when the place exploded if he were part of the collection.

[Edguy]

(click to show/hide)

I think he was part of the collection, but more of a guest than a prisoner, if that makes any sense.

i think the director was just trolling us.


good show, mr. gunn. i tip my hat to thee.

No spoiler here. Everyone was doing it, I just wanted to be popular.

Well, actually,

I hope Howard wasn't just there to troll the audience, he'd be... interesting.. to tie in with the rest of the universe.

I thought Laika at first too, but I think that was actually the Marvel character Cosmo, the Space Dog..! (probably based on Laika, tho)

[Method of Madness]

...god damn it, I'm actually disappointed.

[Method of Madness]

Oh, so earlier today I ordered the CD of the soundtrack on Amazon. I rarely buy music, so this was notable.

[Blue Kitty]

I went out and bought it the day before we went and saw it I was so hyped.

[hedgie]

I thought up some grips, but these are nitpicky at best.

-I wish that Drax was a lighter green. I felt that his being a darker green it was harder to see his tattoos, and in the comics he and Gamora are close to the same color

So, it's not easy being green?

[Edguy]

It is however, apparently, easy being cheesy!

I'm still bummed out that the dog wasn't Laika.

[Lupercal]

My eyes must be broken, but Drax looks absolutely blue in those promos and throughout the film. Or am I missing something with all this green talk?

[Neko_Ali]

Nah, he looked blue-grey to me.

[Zebediah]

Drax looked pretty gray to me. There's sort of a greenish undertone, I suppose. He's not nearly as green as Gamora, and not as blue as Ronan or Yondu.

[Blue Kitty]

I'm still bummed out that the dog wasn't Laika.

Cosmo is better

[Method of Madness]

Yeah, but Laika is real so the thought that even a fictionalized version of her didn't die painfully in a few hours but instead was rescued and was kept in comfort for sixty years...I don't know, I liked that thought.

[J]

me too.

Poem of the Day: What I Learned From the Incredible Hulk

BY AIMEE NEZHUKUMATATHIL
When it comes to clothes, make
an allowance for the unexpected.
Be sure the spare in the trunk
of your station wagon with wood paneling
 
isn't in need of repair. A simple jean jacket
says Hey, if you aren't trying to smuggle
rare Incan coins through this peaceful
little town and kidnap the local orphan,
 
I can be one heck of a mellow kinda guy.
But no matter how angry a man gets, a smile
and a soft stroke on his bicep can work
wonders. I learned that male chests
 
also have nipples, warm and established—
green doesn't always mean envy.
It's the meadows full of clover
and chicory the Hulk seeks for rest, a return
 
to normal. And sometimes, a woman
gets to go with him, her tiny hands
correcting his rumpled hair, the cuts
in his hand. Green is the space between
 
water and sun, cover for a quiet man,
each rib shuttling drops of liquid light.

[Edguy]

I was just thinking about GotG and how it is being preached as a mega hit and the highest domestic grossing movie of the year, yet it has "only" made $555M worldwide. Then I checked out IMDB and found out it wasn't even released in a large chunk of countries until the end of August, and there's still a lot of countries where it isn't even out yet. Oh, and those countries include Japan, Italy and China. So yea, still a lot to go!

[Neko_Ali]

So it's "only" made more than half a billion dollars, so far. While still in theaters, so not counting DVD sales. Yeah, I'm sure the Disney execs are tearing themselves up over this...

[Blue Kitty]

I'm happy that it beat Transformers 4

Oh no

[Neko_Ali]

Ah, but that's the brilliant thing by making movies about the Avengers instead of say, the Fantastic Four. The roster always changes. What's that, people don't want to play Iron Man or Captain America anymore? No problem, we've got dozens more waiting in the wings. In fact they seem to be planning on that anyway.
