- Comic series is good (The one this is based on).
- Enjoyable cast.
- Very vibrant and colourful.
- Space opera when these have been rare in current Hollywood.
- Funny
- Looks to be good action

It doesn't strike me as a space opera, at least not much more than the recent Star Trek films and they were very far from it.
It's also quite weird having this be labelled as "vibrant and colourful" and "good action" and the Jupiter Ascending threads being filled with "lol, bomba".

Not saying that the points you have raised aren't valid, just that it just seems like lots of the hype is simply coming from the OMG a Marvel movie in space!!! category.

 

[TDLink]

Without sounding like a troll can I ask why are people so excited for this (apart from Whoo Marvel?). I mean it looks like a standard sci-fi flick?

To add to what the others have said, all of which I agree with, it actually uses real sets and practical effects instead of being entirely CG.

This in addition to the other stuff has also drawn comparisons to Star Wars...which most Sci Fi movies do not get compared to.

.

Agreed with the double standard here. I also contributed to that in the Jupiter ascending thread while I thought this looked cool

Fwiw tho that will probably have even better action tho. One thing they haven't declined in is action scenes

Plus it looks like a legit space opera. More than this or the Star Trek movies

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

It's no Jupiter Ascending.

More like Jupiter Descending, amirite?

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

U wot m8? I'll bash yer 'ead in

English accents are pretty much the worst outside of geordie and not annoyingly middle class southern

Spoiler

like mine.

Also I thought Jupiter Ascending looked decent, but that's just me and my weird taste

so I just check out Jupiter Ascending trailer, and yeah, not really feeling it. seems like a mess or just to complicated or trying to do too much. I'm still not sure what that movie is all about. also, the trailer seems trying to hard to sell you the world building and not enough spent on the characters

on the other hand, galaxy seems have a simpler, easy to understand plot, and the focus of the trailer are on the characters, and most importantly, that they're fun character, watching the trailer just give me the feeling it will be a fun movie.

also, I really wouldn't call Jupiter Ascending "Vibrant and Colorful" compared to Guardians.

 

[kadotsu]

Thank god they finally show some lines in context. The end was great because of that. The delivery suffers from too many cuts.

 

[demosthenes]

Just woke up, watched it again. I am so excited for this.

 

[Funky Papa]

Leave it to James Gunn to take an innocent, noble character like Groot and gross everybody out.

 

[Blablurn]

Looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Neoxon]

I have a gut feeling that the "We're the freakin' Guardians of the Galaxy!" line will be changed to fucking in the final product.

Been saying they should give the one fuck to Rocket.

A standard sci-fi flick? I don’t give a crap about most Marvel movies and even I can’t wait for this to come out. It just looks like a long overdue, much needed breath of fresh air.....

The fact that the movie seems like it’s not taking itself too seriously is a huge bonus and it’s just got a ‘cool’ vibe. The chemistry between the characters also looks to be amazing.

I think so too.

I still don't get it :/

 

[Discotheque]

I think so too.

he's eating a growth on his body.

also good call on chris pratt casting. this movie looks like young han solo adventures everytime he speaks. except he's not as cool, and more goofy

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

he's eating a growth on his body.

Oh...yeah. Haha, right over my head.

 

[Uncle]

Oh...yeah. Haha, right over my head.

You need to improve your reflexes.

Ha, good one!

Innocent?

 

[Frog-fu]

Hyped.

Bautista still terrible though.

 

[J10]

Innocent?

Comic movie GAF doesn't read comics. You know this.

 

[Funky Papa]

Innocent?

Welp, movie Groot is innocent. Comic book Groot is kind of a regal jerkhole (specially when he could talk).

Comic movie GAF doesn't read comics. You know this.

Your mouth is writing cheques your ass can't afford.

 

[J10]

Movie Groot doesn't appear to be innocent either, but OK.

 

[Funky Papa]

Movie Groot doesn't appear to be innocent either, but OK.

According to Gunn he is the sweetest thing in the universe and RR is a corrupting influence.

 

[Dave_6]

Link for the trailer is now down.

 

[J10]

It was supposed to be Fandango exclusive.

[sixpackrules]

great, can´t wait

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Holy crap

This will be the highest grossing movie of all time

 

[Fersis]

Marvel is on fire with these hero movies, i dont care about comics but i looooove the films.
Captain America, Iron Man, etc.

 

[BLACKLAC]

It's also quite weird having this be labelled as "vibrant and colourful" and "good action" and the Jupiter Ascending threads being filled with "lol, bomba".

For me it's..
The two main leads.
Too much earth: The plot revolves around it(green lantern).
Art design doesn't grab me.
Takes itself too seriously: Not a good idea when you're trying to pass off Mila Kunis as queen of Earth or Mars or whatever.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

All I remember from the Jupiter Ascending trailer is space elf Tatum, Kunis and a whole lot of the colour gold. Kind of reminds me of the Deus Ex: HR piss filter.

 

[flintstryker]

This is one of those trailers where I feel I have seen the entire movie by watching it.

 

[Dalek]

I want to say it looks like the Collector is showing the Guardians all of the Infinity Gems and what they do.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Welp, movie Groot is innocent. Comic book Groot is kind of a regal jerkhole (specially when he could talk).

Rocket spitting on him to rehydrate him is one of my favourite things in comics. I hope that happens at one point

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Takeaways:

- Chris Pratt is the next Sam Worthington
- Humour isn't very good.
- That's supposed to be Drax the Destroyer?
- Villain looks like another Malekith who wants to destroy the galaxy.

wut

I can agree on the villain, as I don't know enough about him.

 

[angular graphics]

I liked the two first (IIRC) trailers for this movie, but didn't really like this one. Way over the top.

I don't think I've ever told you that you're my favourite part of comic-based threads, have I?
