[Joeyjojo72]

At this point, the most we will probably get is Twitter responses to early screenings.

Was this supposed to be a reply to some other post?

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Not really. I heard a rumor that there were press screenings in ny and la this weekend. But maybe it's next weekend.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Definite screening in London on Wednesday.

 

[Suzanne78]

first reaction and it's awesome:

Germain Lussier ‏@GermainLussier 3m
Marvel’s @Guardians is magnificent. Hilarious, touching, action packed, I don’t think I could’ve liked it more. @JamesGunn killed it. Wow.

This guy gave a really good, if not nearly as glowing, review of CATWS.

So now, my excitement levels are off the charts. Um. Yeah.

Keith Simanton @IMDbKeith · 30s Pop the popcorn. @Guardians - This summer's AVENGERS but funnier.

 

[Suzanne78]

Germaine's tweet knocked my socks off. He's not prone to overpraise, so for him to call it "magnificent"… Um.

 

[Suzanne78]

Another, forgot what movie site he's with.

Jack Giroux ‏@JackGi 26s
Guardians of the Galaxy is the first Marvel movie to have a great third act. It's full of personality, laughs, and d*** jokes.

Another blogger:

Catrina Dennis ‏@ohcatrina 3m Guardians of the Galaxy is incredible. INCREDIBLE. OH GOD.

She's from IGN:

Jennings Roth Cornet @RothCornet · 6m Okay, I absolutely loved Guardians of the Galaxy.

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxy was fantastic! Not a false beat in two hours and just an insane amount of fun! #GOTG

I remember Roth's CATWS review, and it was awesome and effusive. So yay!!

Sean Gerber - MMM ‏@ModernMythMedia 5m
#GuardiansOfTheGalaxy is cosmic, cool, vibrant, emotional & so much damn fun with tons & tons of real heart. Bravo, @JamesGunn. What a ride!

An RT critic:

William Bibbiani ‏@WilliamBibbiani 2m
#GuardiansOfTheGalaxy? Yeah, I saw it.

...

Oh, you wanna know?

I've got one minor quibble. Otherwise it's AMAZING.

 

[Suzanne78]

There's a lot of effusive praise so far:

PJ Campbell ‏@pj_campbell 2m
Wow...Well done, @JamesGunn. @Guardians is an absolute blast. Fun, pulpy, action packed, and great comedy. Everything it needed to be.

Silas Lesnick @silaslesnick · 11m
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is another big win for Marvel! Every single character steals every scene.

Devin Faraci @devincf · 16m
Groot is the new star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Devin Faraci
‏@devincf
I really liked GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. The characters work so well together. Gunn nails space opera.

Eric Eisenberg @eeisenberg · 15m
Guardians of the Galaxy is a ridiculous fun ride. Hilarious, action packed, and a great ensemble. Totally loved it.

Jim Vejvoda @StaxIGN · 11m
I saw Guardians of the Galaxy tonight. It was awesome. That's all I can say.

Another one:

Nerd Reactor @NerdReactor · 3m Just watched #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy and wow, all the characters were great! Some surprising cameos!

Also, YAY at Devin's Groot tweet! Not that I hold much stock in Devin's opinions specifically, but I just love seeing Groot get some love. While everyone else has been talking about how Rocket was gonna steal the show, I've been over here in the corner quietly stanning for Groot. I love that big little houseplant.

 

[Suzanne78]

Kris Tapley is more lukewarm (maybe outright didn't like it?)

Kristopher Tapley
‏@kristapley
...It's better than Thor 2 and Iron Man 2?

Don Kaye @donkaye · 7m
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is a blast. A crazy fun space opera that makes you care about a walking tree.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Lol well it definitely doesn't suck. That's a relief.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Anticipation...increasing.

 

[Suzanne78]

Here's another one from a Zap2It Assoc. Ed.

Terri Schwartz ‏@Terri_Schwartz 2m
The person I'm most in love with after seeing #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy is @JamesGunn. Thank you thank you thank you.

Another parent/lifestyle blogger:

dadofdivas ‏@dadofdivas 2m
If you love 80's references, as well as a mix of early 80's and 70's music then the @Guardians movie is for you #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyEvent

dadofdivas ‏@dadofdivas 5m
Action, drama, humor and more in the @guardians movie , fans of the comic well love this movie #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyEvent

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Oh right the unbearable anticipation. Forgot about that...

 

[Suzanne78]

And from John Campea:

John Campea ‏@johncampea 58s
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is everything I hoped it would be and more. Fun, funny, epic scale, just fantastic. Well done @JamesGunn

Robert Saucedo ‏@robsaucedo2500 1m
Am I allowed to say that I saw GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and it's a lot of fun? Marvel seems to have this whole making movies thing down.
