- Start date
Yes
what? i was hoping individual answers, yes means is worse than thor 2 but at the same time means that thor 2 is better than averngers and cap 2, what gives?
- That depends on who you ask. Me, it's either on-par or better, I'll watch it again to pass final judgement on that
- This also differs based on who you ask. As for me, yes.
- Nope, GotG is much better

Its my favorite marvel cinematic universe movie. Of course, its very different than all the other ones though. So its kind of hard to compare.

In my opinion:
On the same level as Captain America 2.
Better than The Avengers.
Better than Thor 2.

Saw it. Loved it. Still coming off the high but I'll say it's up there with Avengers and captain america 2 at the least. Maybe even better than both.
Yes.
I've seen The Avengers so many times already that I'm inclined to say, but at the time of release and first watch, I don't know. The Avengers was really hype for me. It did take like 45 minutes to get going though, while Guardians of the Galaxy was awesome from the very first scene.
lol, no. And I actually liked Thor 2, but this Guardians blows pretty much every Marvel film out of the water (Iron Man 1-3, Thor 1-2, Cap 1, Hulk) with perhaps the exception of The Avengers and The Winter Soldier (I think it's better than TWS, but that was really good too).
You're welcome.

Man if Wright was still doing Ant Man they'd be on one hell of a streak.

This is the best Marvel film hands-down. So much feels and awesome moments. I loved all of the characters!

Avengers > GotG > Cap 2 > Everything > Thor 2
She'll thank you for switching the movie, later,
then you two can make your own sex tape.
Watched it. As someone that thinks most Mahvel movies are kind of eh, this wasn't all that different. It was good fun, but not particularly interesting or notable. There's really just not much to say about these movies. Maybe these things are more children-oriented than I think.

Winter Soldier is the only film that comes close to Guardians level and that's immensely helped by virtue of being a sequel. I would say Guardians is Iron Man 1 tier easy.

I'd say so. Hopefully more join the club soon.

Cover of this months Backstory issue.
Avengers 2 & Cap 3 are safe bets to make the group the Fantastic Six of the MCU.
Props if you get the Fantastic Six reference.

It is one of the best Marvel movies. It's hard to compare to Captain America 2, since they are very different movies. I'd say it is on par with Captain America 2, and if you prefer sci-fi with comedy over espionage/action, then GotG comes out on top. Superior compared to Thor 2 and way better pacing than Avengers.

Oh right.
The later part is the GotG theme I mentioned. So good, almost as iconic as the theme for the Avengers.

Just saw it. It's fine.
The film isn't nearly as unique or as subversive as I would have hoped. It's a typical Marvel movie with an extra dash of quirkiness.
Action setpieces in superhero movies just bore me to tears these days. Even when they're technically well done, I just tune out during them.
I think VanDerWerff gets it right.

it's not the action scenes as to why I love the film, far from it, like it's been mentioned the 5 have a ton of chemistry together.

So glad to see it doing well. I'm happy it paid off for Marvel to take a bit of a risk with these characters.
That's the case for most mahvel movies regarding set-pieces. By the numbers and forgettable.

Yup.
I think the hype and the fact that it's just been released may be inflating it, as happens with all films. My rankings:
Avengers > Guardians of the Galaxy > Captain America: The Winter Soldier > Iron Man > Thor > Thor: The Dark World > Iron Man 3 > Captain America: The First Avenger > Iron Man 2 > The Incredible Hulk
I'm kinda glad the villain spent most of the time out of the spotlight, He was definitely the weakest link in the film.
Easily better than all of them. And I liked Avengers a good bit, but this was much better.

Better than The Avengers, but not as good as Cap 2, IMHO.
I fell asleep during Thor 2.

It's a movie defined by it's soundtrack choices more than the score, which is kind of an afterthought. All the best emotional/character beats are tied to specific songs from the 70s/80s that Star-Lord has on his one cassette (similar to an Edgar Wright or Quentin Tarantino film).

Apparently today is the 28th anniversary of
. So..... that post credits scene probably influenced the release date.
