The movie moved way too fast for its own good. I mean, I don't want another Transformers, but it wouldn't hurt to actually let the story elements sink in. I really don't remember much about this movie other than the Raccoon, the awkwardness, and the explosions.
So wait, because you missed something so obvious that I just asked my 8 year old daughter about and, without leading her to the answer she was able to tell me why, it's the movies fault for moving too fast and not yours for missing something that was made very obvious?

Post conversions are pretty cool these days. Some director's even prefer it as it gives them much more control over what to focus on and how they put their shots together in the editing room too (which James Gunn definitely makes use of in this).
Damn right after my showing there was already a line forming for the next. Anyway loved the movie and it was everything I wanted and more. It also seems like everyone wants to watch it multiple times. As soon as it was done I wanted to watch it again and my friend said she was going to see it again too.
Can anyone elaborate on Thanos's abilities sans the infinity gauntlet? Everyone in this thread has mentioned that he could easily squash Ronan even though he had an infinity gem, so I'm curious as to what powers he has as a Titan.
I live in The Netherlands where the movie will launch the 14th of August but I just saw it in Manchester - UK and I feel so lucky
The start of the movie sent chills down my spine, especially the take my hand part
I thought the movie was really enjoyable but it failed to give me a fleshed out baddy. I LOVED Ronan's design and overall look but he felt as expendable as malekith in Thor 2 which is a real shame.
All the effects were great and I even liked Rocket.
UK though, rated 12A which means it's suitable for all ages with an adult. Even I thought there was a surprising of swearing for a Marvel film, not that I had a problem with it.

Was anyone else surprised by the violence and profanity? Not complaining, I was just kinda shocked to see people getting straight up impaled on screen in a Marvel film.
Saw the movie yesterday, I liked it overall. My only problems were:
-
The bar fight scene. Was totally unnecessary, and made Rocky sound really whiny and annoying.
- I thought we reached a point where CG would be tolerable, but it seems we got a long way to go. Both the squirrel and Treebeard looked fake as hell.
-
Isn't Ronan supposed to be Thanos' son?
- Finally, probably my biggest gripe with the film, their selection of licensed music. My god, could you guys have picked a worse selection?! The kid was born in the 80s, so where the fuck is all the cool, synthesized, techno pop music? Where's Shout, by Tears of Fear? I Ran So Far Away, by A Flock of Seagulls? Laura Brannigan? Anybody? Helloooooooooooo?
- And the after credits easter egg was absolute shit.
edit: Oh one other thing.
It was annoying that they kept referring to the Infinity gem as the Infinity stone. Like, what the hell?

Blame the kid's mom for making him the mix tape. She wanted him to enjoy HER music, probably deep-seated in an "old man yells at cloud" type of way she didn't want to admit.

The music was one of the best bits. Fantastic songs and fitted the tone of the film perfectly, imo. The whole idea of it being his Mum's favourite songs added to the emotional story with Peter and his dead mother. I loved that touch.
