    Guardians of the Galaxy (film)

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Looks like a blast. Definitely Marvel's riskiest move yet and may pay off to be their best film yet.

    Hopefully the next trailer will reveal some more of the plot for general audiences and have dialogue from Rocket and Groot.

    I'm not clued up on the source material at all, so I'm just purely going on the trailer - looks like a lot of fun, and a bit of a shake-up from all the handsome square-jawed Americans punching generally foreign bad guys in the face (as much fun as that usually is from Marvel and others, there just seems to be sooooo much of it at the moment) ... looks and feels a bit more fresh, a bit more playful.

    I thought Green Lantern sucked though (albeit, yes, not from Marvel), so I was concerned about how wacky this might look (spacey stuff, weird looking characters etc), but this looks like a shedload of fun.

    As a company, Marvel insists on churning out average films every other weekend. This, at least, looks amusing.

    I agree with you guys. Marvel films, while not necessarily BAD, have just been rather generic and lacking any sort of special spark. That's the reason I'm looking forward to Guardians. At least they're trying something a little different and rather than super heroes, these characters are just thieves/bounty hunters running through space....

    Love the comedic bits at the end!

    I heard recently that Thanos will make an appearance in "Guardians". He was the purple guy in the post credits sequence of The Avengers and is being set up to be the "ultimate" bad guy for Avengers 3.

    It's interesting - when I first heard the idea I can't stress how indifferent I was to it. Now? Heck, I'd say it's the one film I'm looking forward to the most this summer.

    I know. A guy that I see around a place I work at sometimes usually asks me what movies are coming out, and that's the only one in my head.
    I'm super stoked.
