Guardians of the Galaxy (Spoilers thread)

I know there's a ton of GotG threads but none of them are spoiler threads from what I can see


First off I LOVED the movie and I'm not into Marvel at all. Chris Pratt was awesome, Bautista wasn't terrible, and The raccoon was funny (didn't sound much like Cooper), and Groot might have stolen the show

The best thing they did in this movie was balance the characters. I never felt any of them were useless, (I thought Groot was going to be this) it was 5 characters I cared about instead of Tony Stark and his sidekicks

The humor was spread out really nicely. They had some tense moments but could always make you laugh when it was needed. There's going to be a group of kids that in about 10 years are going to rewatch this and be like "holy shite they just made a joke about jizz"



I also got the feels a little bit at the beginning and end with Star Lord and his mother. Party's got some skills.


I thought the bad guy was a little over the top (zod ripoff) but even that paid off with the dance off scene at the end, the confusion on his face had me rolling

The story kept me interested thought out and the final scene was a very nice payoff. They took a lot of the plot from Star Wars for sure though My only problem with the end was that they left this insanely powerful object in the hands of a planet that just had it's ENTIRE army wiped out 10 minutes prior. Seems like poor logic


The soundtrack was also top notch. I knew the present was gonna be another mixtape but they still brought the feels for that scene.

All in all it was really awesome
