Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

What sold Iron Man was Robert Downey Jr..

Captain America had super boy scout Chris Evans.

Thor had Chris Hemsworth to ham things up!!

Avengers... for Pete's Sake is an Avengers movie!!!

Apart from Avengers, all the source material above were never BIG selling comics before the movies...

Now we get Guardians of the Galaxy...

Can we get MORE OBSCURE than THAT!!! I think not...

So let see what does the movie have going for it.

1) Chris Pratt (Who??)

2) Zoe Saldana (She was blue, now she is... GREEN!!?!)

3) Dave Bautista (er... I don't follow WWE)

4) Vin Diesel (Groot, don't ask... Are they trying to make a statement about Vin Diesel's lack of vocabulary??? )

5) Bradley Cooper (Rocket, A talking Raccoon...)

Okay, before I go on, let me just say that the way the movie opens (the first 15 - 20 mins), shows that Marvel/Disney has BIG cahonees...

For this movie to be really big, Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) has to be more Han Solo than... well, Hans Solo (a loveable rogue).

And did he managed that?

In my opinion..., no.....

The production value of this movie is staggering.

As I had presume this movie probably builds up to The Infinity Gauntlet movie (go buy this on paperback, it is pretty good).

It is actually quite unfair of me to say all fault lays with Chris Pratt, I think the greatest pitfall is



So, in short, this is a very much an eye candy, and if you scrutinize it too much...



Of for the complete-tist amongst you, are there any short movie at the end of the credit? The answer is yes. Who is the subject matter?



Last note, I much prefer Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) compared to this.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Oh My Goodness.

To quote President Snow "Welcome...! Welcome...! Tributes, we welcome you. We salute your courage and your sacrifice... and we wish you... Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor."

Disney/Marvel and gone and done it...

They have set the summer blockbuster standard so high.... I feel sorry for Warner Brothers...

If you had watched the trailer and is wanting for more... Disney/Marvel delivered!!!

Everything you like in the first movie is back and the Disney/Marvel even threw in the kitchen sink!!!

Everything is MORE!

More fun characters √
Bolder storyline √
Seemless CGI √
Burst Out Loud quote √ √ & √



Can Disney/Marvel do no wrong? If this movie is used to judge that statement, apparently yes!

Do yourself a favour, go watch this.

Erm... Lasso.... Not whip. Wonder Woman is all about peace... not S&M....

A Discman?

Where is his going to get CDs for it?

It's a joke

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

I can use one word to describe James Gunn work in Marvel.

That word is consistent!

Marvel had suffered a few missteps.

One might even argue the planet on a whole is suffering from Marvel fatigue!

I argue otherwise.

I say we are sick of being served.... lacking a better term, crap!

Crap with whip cream and cherry on top at the end of the day, it is still crap.

James Gunn "supposedly" ignored Kevin Feige's suggestion during the making of this movie.
I think James had something to prove.

1). His initial firing from the project.

2). His skipping and hopping over to Warner/DC

In a sense, this movie is a "swan song", a complete story arch for

1) James feature directorial for Marvel

2) Chris Pratt as Peter Quill

3) Rocket you can now call me Racoon Bradley Cooper

I have to add, they were handled well.

I would suggest to Marvel that this is the way forward

Get GOOD creative on you project. See them thru!

Look at how inconsistent the Thor movies were.

The latest Ant-Man movie, the less said the better.

I am actually shuddering when I think about going to the movies o watch The Marvels (highly will skip cinema viewing)

Well made Marvel movie.

DO consider going to the cinema and watch.
