Guardians of the Galaxy

This was already reviewed in the "Movies" forum recently.

All I have to offer is more of the same.
I liked Dougie's assessment when he said 'Best of the Marvel films to date'.

I loved the satire; this film does make the mistake of taking itself too seriously, which ends up being one of its strongest points.

Imagine this: The Wife hates SiFi, detests super heroes, never has & never will see Star Wars (not one of them) & absolutely refuses to see anything related to rings or Hobbits.

Sidestepping the fact that somehow The Wife actually decided to watch this with me, I still have a bruise where my head hit the coffee table as I fainted after she said she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Haha! It was a great hero movie imo, we've watched it many more times and I agree I actually like the seriousness of the movie with just enough laughs and goofy parts to fill it out. I do have to admit I'm generally not overly critical of movies. I like to just sit and enjoy them and not think too deeply into it unless the film requires deep thought of course.

Hoping to give this a spin on the weekend (got it as a Christmas gift) and giving my subs a workout. Most fun I've had at a cinema in quite some time. Looking forward to the next one.

I watched this in the famed Chinese theater in Hollywood when it came out. Decent movie, but it will always have good memories for me because of that. Cool place.

I was rather pleasantly surprised by the grey and red muscle strongman main character. A newcomer actor, that actually did a good job.

Oh, and...

I am groot.
