A24 4,346 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 You don't think Star Wars is a colorful, movie and character wise? Golden robots, azure blue skies with pink-ish hue, princesses, little people, disco light sabers, ...Star Wars ... How I remember it ...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Bright, colorful and pulpy? Meh. That's for kids. I want my sci-fi to be dark, gritty and realistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,346 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Guardians Of The Galaxy needs to connect the young and old. Small children will cheer and applaud for the raccoon while adults will ponder on the deeper meaning of it all. Incanus will denounce all that is Smaug, create a separate Guardians subforum, and summon all the fans of the film to come and post at JWFan! 2014 will be another interesting year for us.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You don't think Star Wars is a colorful, movie and character wise? Golden robots, azure blue skies with pink-ish hue, princesses, little people, disco light sabers, ...Star Wars ... How I remember it ... (before Lucas drained all the color out of it)That's how "colorful" might have looked in the 70's. But if a modern audience saw Star Wars now for the first time it would look underdtated, gritty, even dark.Guardians Of The Galaxy isnt made for people who saw Star Wars in the 70's.

A24 4,346 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Have you read Schwartz's comment? The audience have grown accustomed to gritty and dark science fiction movies.That's why they want this one to be bright, colorful and pulpy. Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and Star Wars were bright, colorful and pulpy, then came Alien and Blade Runner and changed sci-fi into dark and gritty.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Moreso then Star Wars?Have you read Schwartz's comment?

Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and Star Wars were bright, colorful and pulpy, then came Alien and Blade Runner and changed sci-fi into dark and gritty. AlexYou of course forget, or choose to ignore the fact that Flash Gordon was released some years after Alien, and that Buck Rogers was a TV show.But is dark, gritty sci-fi aimed at adults and colorful, poppy sci-fi aimed at children?As far as I'm concerned Inception was aimed at the same teenage demographic as Star wars was.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You claim Sci-fi was colorful and pulpy before and that all of that changed after Alien and Blade Runner!Alien was released before Flash Gordon, some years before actually. So it's dark and grittiness didn't stop it from being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demondm810 399 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm really looking forward to this one. It looks so bizarre. I thought about picking up some of the comics, but instead I'll just see it without knowing much at all. The extra bit at the end of Thor: The Dark World was brillaint.

Wycket 36 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Looks more like Star Wars than anything Lucas did with the prequels. If this is a direction where they want to take the new SW movies, I'd definitely approve.As for Guardians, looks like is will be a lot of fun and I hope it lives up to the opportunity.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Wow, it looks great. The look of Marvel movies has been getting so bland (Captain America 2 looks like a made for TV movie).

KK 3,307 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Meh... That was one of my most anticipated movies of 2014, but I find that trailer rather average. The humour seems heavy-handed, the visuals look run-of-the-mill, and overall, it doesn't seem to offer anything really new (apart from the racoon).I'll wait to see how this turns out, but this trailer has dampened my excitement for the film quite a bit. I'll still watch it for the racoon and the tree guy, though...The trailer looks exactly how I imagined it. I told you BB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, in my defence, all I said was the trailer gave me exactly what I expected of it!It was BB who was hyping it up to be the next great adventure sci-fi flick out there! All I told him was that this was going to be your typical Marvel fare. And as I said, it does look more interesting than the Avengers.And to add to that, DoS is hardly the only thing I get excited for here.
