TEJ seems pretty cool.

Anyway, waiting in line listening to the Awesome Mix to avoid spoilers.

One more hour

An hour in line? Woah. UK has it easy.

An hour in line? Woah. UK has it easy.

We always do.

HAIL BRITANNIA!

 

[Grzi]

Loved it.
Not much more to say lol, it's just an all around great movie.

The Winter Soldier is still my favorite MCU film though, although I need to watch GotG once more.

 

[Tactics18]

Wow. Such an awesome movie.
I mean, I expected it to be good, but it was just fantastic.
Probably my favourite Marvel movie.
The only things I didn't like were the mid and end credits scenes.

So awesome.

[Incendiary]

Going to see this in an hour. My theater has an early 8:15 showing. Hell yeah, I'm excited!

 

[Scousefury]

Just seen it in Imax 3d. Its a classic, not one line falls flat and it just keeps rolling, even in its sillyest moments it does not feel stupid. The 3D is excellent imho, and the whole film is stunning to look at throughout. Just go see it!

 

[TestMonkey]

Tickets bought for the 7:00pm showing. Let's do this.

Had some free time today-went back and pulled some good potential "crow-eating" material for a future thread. Of course, it could still bomb, and we'll get no use out of this:

Latino Review: Second Marvel 2014 Movie to be 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=480437

I have never ever heard of this team before.  I imagine nobody from the mainstream has either.

Me either. *shrugs*

Who the hell are these people(?), and why should I care?

Me neither. The name sounds like it was created by a child.

...really?  They don't have enough potential AAA Marvel properties to play off of?

Well, I guess since so many of their franchises are in other studios' hands...

The day I see Rocket Raccoon onscreen is the day I believe this.

Are we seriously discussing a major motion picture with a character called "Rocket Raccoon"? I feel like I'm taking crazy-pills here.

I know people are going to disagree with me but
I think this will bomb big time.

this is going to be Marvel's Green Lantern

I'll still watch for Chris Pratt.

I have a sneaky suspicion this is going to be the first Marvel movie to bomb, or at least come in way under normal Marvel money.

No one wants to see a CG racoon.

I really think this movie is going to underperform.

This is going to bomb so hard.

This is going to megabomb. holy crap it looks like some sort of parody sci-fi film

Christ that looks bad. Is that a Na'vi I see in the first pic?

It's a big budget sci fi film based on some shit nobody has heard of, that almost certainly won't appeal to a female audience. Of course it's going to bomb.

This has Scott Pilgrim-level flop written all over it.  Extreme Internet and geek hype but little mainstream attention which could translate to a 15 million dollar opening weekend.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Its going to be Guardians of the Galaxy.

Guardians of The Galaxy.

Yeah.

What even is this? Looks like some off-brand kids show and one of them is a raccoon and another is a tree.

Jupiter and Guardians fit the bill at this time. The latter having a ton of pressure because it will be something that all studios look at when thinking about producing an out there comic book movie.

Ted was the highest grossing R rated comedy of all time.

The bombs will be Jupiter Ascending, which will hopefully finally end the Wachowski brothers careers & probably Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvels first mega bomb.

Tom Cruise, Malificent and Guardians of the Galaxy

This one. Unless it gets 90%+ rotten tomatoes or insane word of mouth, I don't see it making that much, 350 mil at most.

I feel like maleficient will attract females to it. Edge of tomorrow on the other hand feels like a knock off super hero movie in time where there are plenty better choices to choose from.

and GotG needs a better trailer if it doesn't want to bomb.

Guardians will be the new Scott Pilgrim.

Guardians will likely gross more than Scott Pilgrim did worldwide its first week.

Nopes, GotG will barely break the 500M mark.

Edge of Tomorrow will be the biggest flop.

GOTG will probably do something in the $150m - $175m range.

Based on what? The Marvel brand alone?

I think it'll do well, but I hardly think it'll be "huge".

I want to like GOTG, but here's my problem....

It's a FUCKING RACOON! I just can't take it seriously, at all. I know its a comedy of sorts, but its also supposed to fit in the same universe as Captain America: TWS and Iron Man. Am I the only one having a really hard time picturing RDJ's Tony Stark talking to a raccoon, without it be eyeball roll inducing?

I mean, it's a RACOON. I'm picturing Rocket sitting around the table on the Helicarrier with the Avengers, and man does it seem dumb. Oh well, still hope the movie is fun, regardless.

I'm thinking GOTG will end up like Pacific Rim. Lots of internet hype but not much outside of that.

Galaxy guardians. That current trailer is terrible and john c Reilly won't be able to carry it.

Guardians of the Galaxy will bomb, it just looks so bad. All of my friends who are pretty big marvel comic fans say its terrible and the other friends who just like the marvel movies says it looks terrible. The main guy also looks like a non-funny skinner Seth Rogen that is trying to be funny, plus the racoon is just a bad idea. Who is this movie for? The edge of tomorrow also looks bad, but Tom Cruise probabky sells, Herclues could go either way.

Some of the effects work in the latest Guardians trailer looks super fucking cheap.

Guardians of Galaxy has stink bomb written all over it.

Guardians of the Galaxy gonna tank so haaaaaaaaaaaaard baby.

Public aint ready to go watch talking racoons and trees and shit. At least not the way GotG has been advertised. This shits gonna brick like crazy.

Yeah I think GoTG is also a contender for flop. But there's that Marvel logo and it had big explosions in the trailer, so who knows.

I'm putting a vote in for Guardians of the Galaxy.
It might do fine, but I think it will be far below marvels expectations.

I am fully ready to eat crow on this though, but I could see it turning out like Scott Pilgrim.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Just came back from watching it with friends.. Holy shit this movie. It just gets better every minute and it never stops. Probably my favorite marvel movie, although i did love The Winter Soldier too.
Awesome team, Peter Quill is awesome.
Oh, and stay for the scene after the credits.

Just got from watching it, and whoever told me that it was basically Marvel's Star Wars (in terms of scene parallels really) was pretty god damn on the nose. Just a fun action SciFi romp, and I really can't wait to see it again on BD. And I still can't believe that big budget summer blockbuster Marvel film had

in it's final moments.

Oh yes.

that scene with ronan, holy shit. the theater i was in fell apart with laughter.

it's good guys

some pace issues at the start IMO but you have to move fast considering what they're covering

other than that, and some minor slight misses with the humor IMO, it's fantastic

Duuuuude.

In the theater now for an 815 show. Theater's fairly full but not completely sold out. Guess that's a good sign right?

So excited!

 

[GPsych]

Just sat down in the theater. 45 minutes to go and there are maybe 10 people here so far. Can't wait!

Not sure if mentioned but mondo poster on sale tomorrow

What to get

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Duuuuude.

Not that I ever doubted you, but you were so right

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Iron Man, The Avengers, and Cap 2 are the three best Marvel movies, so your rankings bode well for me liking GotG, I think.

Same goes for me, I'm just glad to know that it hasn't peaked.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Found out that the theater we're seeing the 10pm at is a sold out show. I feel slightly less crazy getting there an hour and a half early.

 

[Cloud Strife]

So pumped for you guys!

 

[anaron]

Wait so is there actually no MCU major post credits reveal?

 

[esai]

My screening starts at 7pm!! Hour and a half to go. HYPE!

Glad I got here early, already got our seats and only 25 minutes to go. HNNNNNGG.

 

[The Technomancer]

So I know Gunn said 3D is the better option but what do you guys who've seen the film already say? Worth the extra money?

I forgot it was in 3D after 20 minutes, which is kind of an endorsement, since that means it never jarred me out of anything

Oh my....

Yeah if anything that one is probably wrong. All of the kids I work with are excited for this movie, they were so excited when I told them I saw it early

I still think some of the effects work in that trailer look super fucking cheap. But then they've probably done more passes since then. At least I hope so. No crow for me.

Just watched this. It's a great movie with many laughs. It starts out kinda rough with some pacing issues but then it picks up steam. Another solid marvel movie. I rate it 8/10

I read Annihilation and Conquest in like a day. I have no life or job when my child is with his mother though. So yeah.

I takes me about 5 mins, to read one if I really just read and don't bother looking to much at the art work.

Just came from the premiere with my best bud. The movie was great, although early parts the were a bit weak. I can't piece together a more in-depth commentary on the film right now, but I'm going to watch it again on sunday with some other buds and later in 2D with the GF.
The theater wasn't completely packed, but there were slightly more people than I expected. There were a lot of laughs throughout, and the end shot of the title and the after credits scene drew applause, and some more laughs for the latter, as it should.
I can't believe Marvel delivered two great movies in a year. That's a first, and hopefully not the last. I don't think this post accurately reflects my enthusiasm but I'm sitting here giddy with joy. I feel like a kid. This is my favourite movie right this moment. GUARDIANS BAYBE YEAH!

 

[HeySeuss]

How full were the theaters when you guys went? I won't get to see this till Sunday at the earliest.
