I was surprised to read he was the VO for Rocket. I thought he did an excellent job, i don't think i would have guessed it was him if it wasn't for the credits. very different from his usual characters.

The movie opens in September in my country. Feels bad man. Anyway, I'm excited to see it even though I know nothing about the comic book. The idea of a Marvel-made fun space adventure is really enticing.
Already did Rocket & Star-Lord.

Just watched it on Sunday, I liked it, was a pretty good movie. It was definitely a marvel movie though, anyone that doesn't expect jokes thrown out every 3 mins or less, numerous pop culture references, or having jokes break dramatic scenes shouldn't be surprised when they see the movie. The set pieces were pretty awesome, was relieved that the adventure took place in space. The action is serviceable but its not the best out of comic book movies. I'd probably slot this after Avengers, Ironman & TWS, but for sure above the rest by a good degree.
One thing it also did was start an itch for more Sci Fi/Space opera movies, can't wait for Episode 7 now, Space Opera might be the next trend after super hero movies.

This has been brought up before, but in the confines of a movie it's hard to build a convincing villain. GotG is already throwing together 5 people with different backgrounds and motivations to save the galaxy. The "person you've known forever suddenly betrays you" doesn't work in this case.
I wouldn't say the ending tied everything up neatly in a bow either.
Nebula is still out there, Thanos wants the Inifnity Gem (and probably knows where it is), what will Yondu do, who is Starlord's dad?
Bring a friend.
Go to the Apple Store.
Edit OT.
If an employee asks you what you're doing, tell that person you guys are checking out honeymoon destinations in New Jersey.
I'm getting a laptop soon, anyway. GAF told me to go for a MacBook Pro, but my friends told me to get the Asus.

Someone already did a pretty great Groot.
Kinda looks like that one guy who made a badass Groot mask a while back.

This fucking soundtrack man. So good! Favorite Marvel movie by miles.
Was yesterday on 3D version and unfortunately with dubbing [free tickets], but damn, its one of the best s-f movies, i've seen in years and even dubbing hasnt annoyed me.
CG in this movie is class of its own, finally Avatar got totally outplayed. So much detail, so rich environments, so good imaginative technology pump into the world.
It was a big risk for Marvel, but it seems to payed off totally.
Ps. I've also discovered with friends that 3D is so, so much better in first rows. I highly recommend watching it in 3-4th rows in 3D, instead on back or middle.

Saw it today. Absolutely loved everything.
What I loved the most about this is that it felt like a legit science fiction movie and not a Marvel fillm. Like no super hero stuff, no SHIELD, no Earth. Just felt like an uniquely different film.
The art design for this movie is incredible. I must track down the art book.
And Bradley Cooper KILLED it as Rocket. By far my favorite character but honestly everyone played their parts wonderfully. I am so hyped for the sequel.

SHIELD is barely a thing after Winter Soldier.

Ended up watching the movie 3 times in theaters. I think I'm done for now. Just wish it had a little bit more time to breath (another half hour would be fine).

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
People have all that time and money for this....
Yeah, I'd do the same if I had the money.
GAF is right, as usual.
This movie seriously ruined avengers 2 for me if the guardians of the galaxy don't at least make an appearance.
Every marvel movie without them is going to seem super lame from now on.
Definitely looking forward to guardians 2 more than avengers 2.
Still can't believe how impressed I was with Bautista and how stupid I feel for worrying that he would be the weak link in the movie.

And avatar didn't exactly have a monumental opening weekend.
This movie is going to have some serious legs.

Just saw the movie. WOW!!!
Best Marvel movie by far, and maybe best super-hero movie ever. I'll wait the hype die down before I affirm my second statement but I got a good feeling about this.
So good.

Either she's small or Nathan Fillion is a giant.
I just tweeted her, she retweeted me.
The exact opposite was true for me but it could've definitely been better in some parts.

Saw it a second time early today with my dad. He absolutely loved it. He's a big superhero/comic fan and rated this tied with TWS on his list for the best Marvel movie.
Right when the movie ended, this guy in front of me in his 40s. Says out loud, "this was the best movie this year". I was like right on haha

Can anyone confirm or deny that marvel doesn't own bug (for GOTG 2)
Marvel doesn't own the movie rights to Bug, hence his removal from the later drafts. Some toy company has the movie rights.

Loved the hell out of the movie.
Yeah, completely agree, good job mentioning him, Cooper was fantastic as Rocket and the character was awesome in the movie.
Yup, loved all this and totally agree on the cast, had a blast seeing it.

Uh... if you can't build a convincing villain you might want to hire a different writer, at least for those parts.
I'm not going to say it's easy, but I've written a screenplay before (too filthy for Neogaf) and I'd say the villain is probably the most satisfying and fun thing to write, so I don't know why Marvel only has a single decent villain in all of their films. Most of them are literally forgettable the minute you walk out of the theater, or before. Why is that? If you don't feel like the heroes are in actual danger, then all tension is lost. That's a serious problem.
Again... I liked the movie. But there's really no excuse for such a lame villain.

The Aether? I'd assume he still has it.
Either she's small or Nathan Fillion is a giant.
Both. Fillion is huge for Hollywood.
He was the big blue alien in the prison that Groot stuck his fingers (roots?) into his nostrils

Funny anecdote of my opening night experience:
I was sitting next to a dad who had brought his 2 sons to see the movie (I'd guess the sons were probably about 10 and 12). The dad was probably in his late 40's/early 50's. As the movie goes on he's enthusiastically attempting to explain every artist/album/title of every song and every old pop culture reference to his youngest son who is clearly unaffected by his dad's nostalgic excitement, even shushing his dad several minutes into the movie. The dad is so overzealous he even explains how Footloose is a movie in the 80's after Quill has already made that pretty clear in his explanation on screen.
Anyways, the scene comes on where Quill mentions his ship would look like a Jackson Pollock painting and the whole audience cracks up, including this dad. For the first time all movie, the son asks his dad to explain what was so funny. The dad, caught off-guard and probably a little embarrassed for having to explain a line he and everyone else had just laughed so hard at, said after a brief pause, "What? Oh, I didn't hear what he said since I was laughing too much.....I understood the reference though......."
That was the last thing he said for the rest of the movie. lol
