Guardians of the Galaxy Guardians of the Galaxy: General Discussion & Speculation Thread - - - - - - - - Part 17

[The Endless]

I love the way he is the spark for the action sequence on Knowhere. It's just totally earned with character instead of plot contrivance.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Bautista is awesome in this btw. The praise he is getting is well deserved.

I would have never expected it from Blutista.

 

[The Endless]

Neither would i. But in this it's like the director showed a lot of faith in him, built his confidence up so he could then put in a totally free performance. It's like he just completely gave himself to the character.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

Jeremy john's thought Bautista acting was meh, but he's the only one I I've seen say that.

 

[Moridin]

Just got back. It's very good. Groot & Rocket were great, Bautista works perfectly, Zoe was good, Pratt was Pratt. At the start, when the GotG title appears and Pratt is [BLACKOUT]just dancing away below it, then kicking alien rodents around and using one of them as a microphone[/BLACKOUT] you know you're in for a good ride.

Somethings didn't quite hit the mark for me, like the Nova Corps, or Ronan. They were played more outlandish or goofy than they needed to be, I think.

3D was surprisingly good, picture was crystal clear. It's also a beautiful looking film, I can see why Whedon snagged cinematographer Ben Davis for AoU.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

[SuperBatman]

I get off work at 10:00 then I have to catch a bus back home so I most likely mee and my friends are planning to go to a 11:30 Showing

 

[TeeKay]

Nope. I am in the US, watching it at a 7pm showing today. One of my favorite new things for big releases, late evening Thursday showing. You get a good crowd, but avoid a huge one. At least where I live.

Darth I always thought you were British for some reason. Didn't realise you were American.

 

[The Endless]

One thing that does disappoint me... with how the Nova Corps are portrayed, I don't think we'll ever be seeing a Rich Rider Nova Prime. They were pretty cool though, especially in the finale.

Maybe the poor showing of the Nova Corps in the Dark Aster crisis is what spurs them into creating the Centurions.

 

[TeeKay]

Can somebody explain to me why Ronan hated Xander? I mean I never got WHY he did.

 

[The Endless]

I took it as him basically being a jingoistic bigot. Also angry that all the lives the Kree lost in this centuries long war was made to be pointless when they signed the peace treaty with Xandar. Like he said, he lost his father, his fathers father etc to the war. Then all of a sudden they sign a peace treaty?

 

[Dr. Evil]

So Wikipedia has already posted the plot of the film.

To me he came off as a misguided warrior. Fighting for a cause but sometimes he's just like **** this, I'm gonna destroy everything. His reasoning behind his motives needed to be more layed out imo. Instead of 'hey, a peace treaty was signed and I don't like it so I'm gonna destroy your world.' Maybe I wasn't paying attention but that's how he came off to me.

Kinda similar to the rationale for Nietszchean rebellion in Andromeda.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Nailed my job interview today and just a few more hours till I see the film. Me and the homies are going to a 10:30 pm showing tonight in 3D. So stoked, this day couldn't get any better

My will is weak, I went and read it.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I would have never expected it from Blutista.

Same here, as someone who is a big Drax fan, I was really disappointed in him being cast. But I always said I would love for him to prove me wrong, so glad he seemingly has.

 

[RickCoronel]

That's funny, I'm always the same except this time. I've always gone into MS films knowing what's going to happen and it never ruined it for me.

But seeing how I came back into reading Marvel comics in 05', the first comic I picked up was the Drax mini-series and the 4 mini-series' that lead into Annihilation and everything up until Thanos Imperative. I just couldn't, it's probably the only comics I loved since getting back into comics. Nothing else has been good for me yet.

[Whiskey Tango]

Thanos has big meaty fingers in the new pic and slender ones in the Avengers scene. Marvel has thrown continuity out the window!

 

[marcvader]

Anybody catching the 2D 7:30 at Cinemark in Pembroke Pines?

 

[sabetoonth]

Same! Well for any movie really. Okay maybe it ruined IM3 but I'd have reacted the same in the theater

 

[Brian Braddock]

Same here too. Spoilers have never, well, spoiled it for me.

 

[Micromind]

Saw the new Thanos pic, he looked better in Avengers ! here, he looks less alien..more human, maybe even like Josh Brolin.

 

[Micromind]

Nose and space between nose and upper lip are different and less like the comic version looking one in Avengers. The chin looks slightly different to me too.

^ This.
