Lol .Groot looks nothing like Diesel.
There was a lot of similarity imo

Weird - as much as I loved the film, I found Nebula to be underwhelming. Ronan they could have fleshed out more (I suppose) but I found him visually interesting and EXTREMELY intimidating, something the oft - compared Malekith just wasn't.
But Nebula.... I just found her to be a bit irritating, and not in a planned way.
I thought he was talking to them about something else and then they were like "Hmmm why not Groot too?"
Good thing she survived. It will allow her character more development in the sequel (hopefufully).Weird - as much as I loved the film, I found Nebula to be underwhelming.

I don't normally do this, but I actually did watch this film a second time in the theater. First time I've done that in a few years. And it definitely holds up on repeat viewings. I think this may be the best Marvel film.
Finally saw this tonight, cant believe its taken me so long, but overall, loved it. Its a typical James Gunn movie, but also surprisingly faithful to the comics, especially when it comes to the gang themselves.
The humor was great, I dont mind there being that much humor in a movie as long as its good, still cant decide who was funniest out of Quill, Rocket and Drax. But what I like here, and people who me on here know my beef this TDW and IM3, is that unlike those movies, the emotional moments are given time to breath, there isnt a joke straight after, it comes quite a bit after, so overall I didnt have this complaint with this movie. The opening scene alone showed Gunn wasnt going to mess about when it came to this stuff, and it was welcome. You really got to feel the emotion of the moment, especially with some scenes with Rocket and a couple with Groot.
The action was decent, but not jaw-dropping, another common complaint I have with MCU solo movies, though the action here was better than most other MCU movies. I am just disappointed Ronan didnt get a proper fight, and Drax didnt really get one either, 2 very quick ones but that was it.
The character work though, is this films real strongpoint, and where Gunn excels, the way the team come together, the teething problems between a new group of friends, and then them coming together to save the day is nothing new in team movies, but its handled expertly here, and every character gets a moment to shine, and a moment to be heroic. All 5 of the team are awesome, it would honestly be hard to pick a favourite, I LOVED the interactions between Rocket and Groot, straight out of the comics. And Zoe Saldana was great as Gamora, tough, vulnerable and sympathetic all at the same time. Drax was surprisingly dryly funny, and had a backstory you could root for.
I do have problems, I didnt think much of the score by Tyler Bates, the same thing happened in Watchmen but his score was overshadowed too much by the songs, which were all awesome. I like the above poster thought Drax was a bit underpowered, he should have owned Korath no problem, and at least given Ronan a bit of a fight (honestly, how does he expect to take down Thanos when his punches didnt even phase Ronan?), I hope Kronos somehow gets involved in giving him a power-up.
And then there is my biggest, complaint, I am a huge Ronan fan, him, Drax and Nova are my favourite cosmic heroes, and not only am I disappointed a bit in Drax, but I am rather pissed off that they [BLACKOUT]KILLED Ronan after one freaking movie![/BLACKOUT]. That guy is THE most important Kree in the comics, it seems such a waste to do what they I mentioned in the blacked out txt.
Overall though, very satisfying, around the same level as Cap 2 for me, though I think I would rate GOTG a little higher because what I love about those characters in the comics they pretty much got spot on. 9/10.
Well, Drax WAS drunk during that fight
Yeah, I think people dont realize he drunk dialed Ronan and was hammered. He really didn't think things through and was in no shape to do what he thought he was going to do.
Being drunk doesnt make you less strong.
As someone who's been in a few drunken dustups, it kinda does.
I once broke my hand on a lamp post whilst having a pissed up fight. For a while i thought i hit the bloke on the forehead (another really stupid thing to do anyway lol) but then found out from a pal that i actually hit a lamp post hahaha.
Fighting drunk of completely consumed by rage isn't the best way to go. It's why professional fighters are always taught discipline first.
