Americans are really bored?

My 35 year old daughter saw it this weekend. She liked it, but said it’s not a kid’s movie despite the cartoonish fluffy raccoon.

Interesting Movie, I loved the whole plotline with the Green Lady Gamora and how she had been biding her time next to her greatest enemy just waiting patiently for a time to strike.

Rocket the Raccoon was a breath of fresh air as he didnl;t come off as a cutesy charchter for the point of being cute and actually was a dark and tragic charcter or at least it was hinted he was.

The guy trying to avendge his dead family was interesting, he was very much another tragic character who was filled with vengence and despite this worked through it after realising that Gamora was in the same boat and she suffered more because she forced herself to live next to her greatest enemy in order to get justice.

StarLord was the Glue that held it all togther and I loved the one Guy from the millitary that was instemental in saving the “federation” main planet because he belived StarLord’s Hillarious message.

I saw it last night.

Best movie I have seen in a while. Not saying it is high brow, or even a thinking mans show. It is the 80’s Classic “buddy movie” in the Marvel universe.

No overt political commentary (unless you count the peace treaty). No anti God stuff (and some surprising things on that end). Some crude jokes, but mostly good.

A definite addition to my collection when it gets released.

A great movie! I consider this the best Marvel movie so far. Some nice sentimental moments mixed with comfortable humor and solid dialog. Rocket and Groot worked better than I ever expected. The director nailed the tone.

Our family went to see it last night and it was refreshing and well worth the trip.

If you go, make sure to sit through the credits to see the VERY cute vignette placed at the end. It sets things up for a potentially great sequel.

I’ll make sure I torrent it in a few weeks to see if I’m glad I didn’t pay to see it.

“Meanwhile, James Brown biopic Get On Up took third place with a modest $14 million debut. “

Why do they keep making outdated rock star biographies like this? They’re all the same, they start out great but always end up tragic and sad, and the movies never make any money. Are they just full-length ads for the soundtrack?
