Guardians of the Galaxy

[alpha2117]

The trailer hits today but here goes a pic of them - Zoe Saldana has traded in blue skin for green, Bradley Cooper has never looked furrier, Chris Pratt from Park & Recreation has slimmed down and buffed up and Batista is looking cut ... Vin Diesel remains as wodden as ever :)

this looks really silly. i'm guessing it's based on a comic book because marvel is involved.

Oh yeah....stupid as in fanciful, farcical, contrived? aren't you confusing this with the Alejandro Jodorowsky crap posted by Dino in the movies thread?

Enjoyed the comic when I was a kid.:)

I've heard of He-Man, but Tree-Man?

All you need to know about Guardians Of The Galaxy is Rocket Raccoon is arguably the most badass character Marvel has ever created. He's basically Rambo!

This is so funny to me because sometimes when I got stoned I watched all the seasons of "Parks and recreation" on Netflix (it's a cult type show...you're either into it or not)...and Chris Pratt is such a goofy character on that show it's hard to imagine him as an action hero...but I'll probably watch it for that reason alone...

Well...

That and I love Zoe Saldana ..and seeing this hot woman in green makeup is even hotter.

The new trailer looks awesome. Will be seeing this a few times this summer I am sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTZ2Tp9yXyM&feature=youtu.be

i have sworn off all marvel movies forever so i have no intention of seeing this POS.

ask the average comic fan to name 10 avengers, i bet they can. ask them to name 2 of the guardians that don't overlap into the avengers...i bet they can't. that alone is reason enough not to waste time, money and effort on characters that neither are popular nor advance the storyline though the other marvel universe movies.

i 'm a pretty big marvel universe fan, but i was never that keen on the original Guardians of the Galaxy ,maybe adding exotic characters like drax the destroyer,mantis, moondragon may help but i never thought Guardians of the Galaxy was popular enough to take a run at.
i was surprised this came before others like silver surfer,black panther,dr.strange,iron fist,...i know Ant-man is coming also(though i'm not kicking my heels over that,)

Would love to see a Silver Surfer flick.

so much depends upon the studios and directors, even more than the performing actors themselves, they can make or break a film.
either it can be Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight or Tim Story's ridiculous Fantastic Four.

a proper silver surfer flick would be interesting, not that FF sequel that was terrible.

ant-man could be interesting as well but i really want to stick to my decree...i've been disappointed more often than not since the major marvel push starting in 2008...and its not like before 2008, they had a bunch of winners either...

let's examine marvel movies since 1998

Blade - an excellent rendition of the character and not a bad movie/story B+
X-Men - too many actors but ultimately moderately entertaining. C+
Blade II - too many attempts at humor but ultimately, a viable sequel C+
Spider-Man - quite possibly the tightest superhero origin movie to date A-
Daredevil - well, the decline had to start somewhere D+
X2 - the best of the X franchise A
Hulk - wow, a movie that destroys everything you know about the hulk. F
The Punisher - while not as bad as daredevil and hulk, its pretty terrible D
Spider-Man 2 - like the 1st, this was quite possibly the best sequel to a superhero movie to date A
Blade: Trinity - a failed attempt to modernize and bring youthful actors in C-
Elektra - umm, well, Garner has nice tits F
Fantastic Four - same comment for elektra except for Alba D
X-Men: The Last Stand - WTF...this was nearly the biggest clusterfuck on the list, but wait, it gets worse C-
Ghost Rider - nicholas cage loses his shit, nuff said D
Spider-Man 3 - a piece of me died when PP went emo and there were 2 too many villains F
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - Alba's tits were not enough D-


thus ends the part of the list that was not "Marvel Studios Proper" Though not all the remaining movies are Marvel Studios flicks, they are still being pumped out the same way just to exploit the comics

Iron Man - had so much promised and i thought i was finally going to see proper treatment of the MU in the remainder of the films A-
The Incredible Hulk - i was wrong. while not as bad as Ang Lee's version, this one was still quite shitty. C-
Punisher: War Zone - not Marvel Studios and just a piss poor cash grab so i'll pass D
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - so much potential, no little value D
Iron Man 2 - i want my bird is the only memorable part of this movie because i've blocked it from my memory D-
Thor - one bright spot but not that bring B
X-Men: First Class - Wow, a reboot that worked A-
Captain America: The First Avenger - fuck me i actually had friends fall asleep in the theater D
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - Nic cage loses his shit again but not even as good as the first F
Marvel's The Avengers also known as Iron Man 3 - WHAT A CLUSTERFUCK. I hate this movie on almost every level. D-
The Amazing Spider-Man - an unnecessary reboot of the franchise that disappoints terribly. D-
Iron Man 3 aka Iron Man 4 - well, if we are going to make movies like this and turn characters inside out from what they are supposed to be, what's the point of going to the movie? D
The Wolverine - an elderly adamantium guy want's wolverine's blood...yeah, good plot. D-
Thor: The Dark World - a bunch of humans defeat Malekith with tripods and paper cups. C-

Taken together...guardians of the galaxy will almost certainly disappoint. i was amped up for days of future past but that is cooling quite a bit too

How is those space fighter called?
If the Viper of Battlestar Galactica was adopted as a F-16 nickname, it seems instead a Su-27/35 lookalike.
