Sweeping Strings 2,615 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I saw it too, rather enjoyed it. All the sci-fi action spectacle you'd want, shot through with a welcome streak of humour.I wonder does the post-credits scene mean that an attempt is to be made to get a franchise for that character (trying to avoid spoilers here) off he ground again?

Quintus 5,449 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I was initially unsure about the movie for the first twenty minutes or so, I actually thought I wasn't going to like it as much as I'd hoped to. But in the end it won me over. It's Star Wars meets Hellboy via Firefly and I enjoyed it more than The Avengers. It's probably the best Marvel entry I've seen to date. Upon first viewing I'd say it was a riotous and wonderfully entertaining 4/5. Made me look forward to the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,719 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Guardians Of The Galaxy was fun.

King Mark 3,719 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 My idea is not new, I've been wanting a separate thread for new movies for yearsWhat so wrong with the idea. Please explain other than "I don't want any change whatsoever"It would be much easier to post on current films and find the discussions.Can't you at least try it instead of being just stubborn for no good reason?What if I said "all LotR discussion" HAS to go into the film thread. No ,there's separate threads for LotR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt it mustered the kind of high spirit energy that The Avengers failed to, elevating it above the usual generic Marvel fare.I like The Avengers, but it never achieved a sense of the fantastical imo. This did though. It had imagination and wit in its designs. Many of the locales reminded me of Hellboy, the same sort of quirky hustle and bustle. Which is my sort of thing when there's aliens and strange creatures wandering past the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,308 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 KM, separate threads have been made for individual films all the time. There are exclusive threads for Guardians of the Galaxy, Hunger Games and such, just as there are for the LotR films. New movies have their own threads. This one just acts as a platform for general film discussion, old and new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon first viewing I'd say it was a riotous and wonderfully entertaining 4/5.Made me look forward to the sequel. What about the Bates score? I really am wary of even listening to it.Serviceable to barely noticeable. But there were precisely two effective if cliche moments in the score during the finale, which is better than nothing I suppose. Moar themes wouldn't have gone amiss, but it's gotten to the stage that I no longer even expect themes in big (superhero) movies these days, so I suppose you could say I've been conditioned to no longer be disappointed by movie music. Good scores are a happy bonus, but there was none in this instance. In fact 'twas the score and some issues I had with the editing and structure which ultimately made sure this movie never touched upon greatness for me. But really, in the scheme of things those are minor complaints. For a movie of its type it nails it in ways 90% of other attempts utterly fail.

crocodile 8,526 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The film is ok. Slightly different from usual Marvel and just as formulaic at the same time. Enjoyable, but I won't be seeing it again.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Saw it a few hours ago. I really liked it. The trailers were right on point. The villains, as with most of these Marvel movies, or superhero movies in general, with maybe the exception of The Joker, were relatively bland and cookie-cutter. I did like the good-guys, though. They had a great spark together. I was way less interested in the action than just listening to them shoot the shit and joke around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,449 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yeah, in an obvious sort of way he was. I mean, a machine gun toting racoon was never going to go by unnoticed was he.
