After seeing Guardians of the Galaxy last night I can honestly say that it is hands down one of the best Marvel movies hands down not to mention the funniest and it had everything, not just action non-stop but a whole lot of comedy too in terms of laughs and the soundtrack too was awesome...a mixture of 70s and 80s classics but also the heroes themselves Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot were and are such complex characters in the sense that you could relate to them all even the villains such as Ronan, Nebula, and Thanos even, even though Thanos was mostly in the background

Batista's performance as Drax in my opinion was probably the best in the whole film hands down and to think Batista he gets a lot of hate from the fans but Guardians of the Galaxy just proved at least to me anyway that he can act especially if you put him in a huge blockbuster

Just saw this yesterday and it really was a fun and entertaining blockbuster. I'm looking forward to the sequel. The team is hilarious and they gel perfectly together. I too was impressed by how much Batista held his own. It's a much bigger role than I had expected, but he had a lot of great moments in the film.

I'm pretty sure Joss Whedon had a fair amount of input so I'm not surprised it's good.

Punctuation is one of the best communication tools hands down.

Yes from what I hear...the Guardians sequel is coming out July 28, 2017

Batista and Groot were the two best parts of the movie on top of a very well movie at that.
If Batista doesn't come back as a face based on how well he was in this movie, I'll be pissed. I know I'm going to love him even more.
When Drax was cheering with excitement when everything was getting destroyed and when he called Gamora a "green whore" I lost it.

I'm pretty sure Joss Whedon had a fair amount of input so I'm not surprised it's good. He might have had a guideline for Gunn to follow, making sure he covered A, B, and C for continuation.. But mainly this was a James Gunn film. I think even after the first cut of GOTG Feige said "make it more James Gunn".. So, yeah. It's a team effort, and some directors I believe are actually brought in to be a Marvel puppet.. But Gunn is one of the guys Feige probably said "I'm gonna give you the go ahead to do whatever you want".. He probably got more freedom because he is being groomed to replace Joss Whedon on Avengers 3.. Just a theory. . . . PLUS OP, there is a GIANT Marvel thread.. Why did you make this??

I'm almost tempted to check out Lollilove again -- not technically a James Gunn film, but he is pretty awesome in it, and even better in the behind the scenes.

I actual watched 'Super' the day before I saw Guardians.. And loved it. With that being said, GOTG had James Gunn EVERYWHERE. It was 'James Gunn presents Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy', not 'Marvel presents Guardians of the Galaxy' directed by James Gunn.

I just watched Super for the first time last night, myself. And easily the hottest Ellen Page has been. Funny movie, too. HOPING to see GotG in the AM. Between GotG, DBZ: Battle of the gods, and TMNT Thurs -- busy week at the movies.

Joss did have some involvement in writing the script, it seems sciencefiction.com/2014/07/08/joss-whedons-secret-role-behind-guardians-galaxy-revealed/. Either way though it's mostly Gunn.

Did anyone else notice a nice cameo by Lloyd Kaufman in the jail scene? That's a nice teacher/student homage.

Saw it tonight, hilarious, and great action. Dave really surprised me with how well he did Drax. Best Marvel film to date. Cannot wait for the second one as well as an eventual Avengers - Guardians crossover.
