I know pretty much nothing about this series but think this looks like a lot of fun. Looks like the sort of comic book movie that my girlfriend will actually be able to enjoy as well

However.... I really don't like Rockets voice.
I dunno what he's supposed to sound like since I've never read the comics or seen him in anything but it would be so much funnier if he sounded like Jason Statham. He looks like he should sound fucking loud aggressive and crazy - but also be really funny. Cooper sounds too 'normal'.

He is actually one of the calmest(would be the calmest, but who can out calm Mantis?) ones on the team. Real cool under fire.

Jason Statham doesn't do comic book movies, sadly. As for the others, Gunn deemed them "too cartoony" (I recall H. Jon Benjamin, better known as Archer, auditioning).

The hype never dies for me, just been busy!

Interesting that a third trailer has been classified so soon. I am pretty sure you are right in that it will mostly be the same as Trailer #2. But I guess we'll find out very soon. It seems kind of redundant to have an alternate cut of the trailer with the exact same length unless there are significant difference. What would they cut 1 second of even?

Probably just an edit for the Canadian cinemas, removing the MPAA green opening for example, of trailer #2.

Shame the actual thing looks like shit..

The Marvel Legends line didn't shape up nice either apparently. :(

EDIT: Regarding Trailer #3...weird. Looks like it is a third trailer in 3D attached with Maleficent:

Here's "Trailer #3". Basically an edited version of the second trailer with the Rocket crotch adjust removed and a snippet or two of new scenes added:

A few new pieces of footage, but I actually prefer how the previous trailer was put together. This one seems to have cut some scenes that were less "all-ages" friendly, granted it really doesn't matter since the overall trailer was practically the same.

Yeah, this cut of the trailer is for placement on PG rated films, probably attached to How To Train Your Dragon 2 to start. The original cut will be on the more mature rated movies.

Watching Maleficent today. Hopefully they show the trailer.

I have also given up reading volume 3 of the comics. Very uninteresting. Maybe I will come back to it after the movie, I don't know.

Edit: They did show the trailer! And it looked amazing in Imax 3D.

Latino Review saw an unfinished preview screening of GOTG: (SPOILERS)

http://www.latino-review.com/news/exclusive-first-review-of-guardians-of-the-galaxy

I love Marvel movies, but I was scared to see this because I was worried it was going to be bad. The movie is in a tough position because it is full of unknown characters it has to introduce together (unlike every other MCU origin stories which only had to focus on showcasing one character), it's got some really goofy space/animal elements to balance, and it has to set up Thanos and the Infinity Gems which will obviously be a huge corner stone of the MCU. Not only that, but James Gunn is a risky bet. I loved Slither and his PG Porn series, but I was disappointed by Super and the Scooby movies. Mix both those elements together, a complicated movie that needs to bend in a lot of directions and a hit/miss writer and director, and what do you get?

A great movie, as it turns out. Granted, the effects aren't done and a lot can change between now and August, but if they keep on the track they're going, it will be solid. I don't want to spoil the fun, so here are few things that surprised me:

Unlike any other Marvel movie. A lot more comedic than expected.
Ronan, Nebula and Yondu look amazing.
The prison escape sequence is brilliant.
As expected, lots of neat easter eggs in The Collector's collection, including a cosmic puppy.
Rocket steals the show. Bradley Cooper's voice is perfect.
But that doesn't mean the others don't shine - they do, especially Drax. I was impressed with how well you knew most of the characters by the end.
The soundtrack plays a huge part, both in the setting tone and being part of the story.
You find out where Peter Quill and the team get their names.

Bottom line: it's not perfect. There are parts that drag, some action sequences that aren't as strong as one might hope, and some puzzling/unexplained motivations. The good news is that there's time to fix these things and, even if they don't solve everything, it'll still be a lot of fun. No matter what, I will absolutely be in line to go see it opening day.

I think Bautista is a better actor than people give him credit for. Not super high quality, but he'll get the job done.

Apparently Gunn was very impressed with his audition and Bautista himself has shown some actual love for the comics. I think he may end up surprising a lot of people.

Was going to post this, but see someone beat me to it. How likely is it that any of the complaints mentioned will get fixed?

Some interesting notes there though such as that The Collector is apparently based out of Knowhere. And Cosmo!!

This is good news. I hope this is the case in future movies. I hate origin baggage, but the least they could do to speed up the process is start focusing more movies on multiple characters rather than just one at a time.

The toys are starting to hit nationwide, I picked up all the 2" figures and vehicles , the Marvel Legends are on their way but I think one of my favorites is this cheap Rocket Racoon. He is about 6" and cost about $9

Yes! Looks amazing. Wonder whose hand it is on Starlords shoulder.. Ronan's?

Impressions sound great. I don't expect a perfect movie, just an incredibly fun one. If there are sections that drag, so be it! There's at least enough beautiful imagery to look at. I absolutely adore the color sheme.

I think it's Drax.

James Gunn talks about personally supervising the 3D & IMAX versions of GOTG:

https://www.facebook.com/jgunn/posts/10152466527914570?notif_t=like

Just got out of working on the Guardians cut for IMAX 3D and I'm unbelievably excited about it. Guardians of the Galaxy has been planned as a 3D film from its very inception. Yes, if you see the film in 2D, you'll get a full experience. But the 3D experience promises a little something extra. Unlike many directors, I've been actively involved with converting every shot to 3D, making sure it works perfectly for the story and the film, making sure it's spectacular and immersive without being silly, distracting, or overly showy. 3D conversion was once far inferior to shooting in 3D, but over the past couple years new technology has allowed us incredible control over the 3D effects, making it equal to or in some cases greater than shooting in 3D.
As an EXTRA benefit for those who see the film in IMAX 3D, we will be changing aspect ratios throughout the film in a way that makes the experience even fuller and more encompassing. I've personally chosen all the places where the changes occur and, again, I love how it's coming along. The changing aspect ratios in this case are actually a part of the storytelling.
Just wanted to share some of this stuff with you guys since I haven't had a chance to talk about the 3D much. Hope you're all having a great day. Hi!
