In my opinion, Drax and Gamora were less interesting than the other three characters. They would have benefitted from a timely background story.

What is Vin Diesel's salary for saying 3-4 words per speaking opportunity. He has the easiest script to remember.
Hah, nice joke. In all seriousness Vin talked about in several interviews he was handed a binder with "I am Groot" on one-side what what that "I am groot" meant done in an entire paragraph. Because it was a lot of inflection and based on emotion, I'd say it's one of Vin's better performances.

Marvel is always known for the easter eggs and ties so I am not surprised. I noticed some but missed others. It was good but not quite in re-watch in theaters area UNLESS, I had to take a date to see it.

Guardians has overtaken captain america as the #1 grossing movie of the year exceeding all expectations.

Still haven't seen it but may tomorrow.

Do it, it is a very fun film. Not quite the best Marvel movie but it is the blockbuster the movies need in 2014.

It was good but not as great as I thought it would be.

Well...I didn't have any expectations and had no idea what it was about.

It exceeded in every way...LOVED IT!! Went back the next day and watched it again.

We saw in 3D on IMAX...spectacular...can't wait till the DVD comes out.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE! I'm not a huge fan of comic books and what not, but this movie pleasantly surprised me. I love the soundtrack as well. I have always liked Bradley Cooper and was happy to see Chris Pratt doing something else, he's probably my favorite character on Parks and Rec, which has always been one of my favorite shows. It was also, pretty funny! All in all, fantastic movie!

I could never figure out why DC is failing (for the most part) at getting a lot of its characters on the big screen.
Bad business manager ?

That and at this point cannot do any film other than a Batman well. Man of Steel was alright but wasn't quite the Iron Man DC needed to launch their cinematic universe.

Finally getting around to seeing this. Guardians has been out for over a month and there were still a good 30 people in the theater.

Great movie, I really enjoyed it. Groot is the man!

More than any other movie to date it seemed like a real MARVEL comic book. With a dizzying array of characters with obscure names and complicated past relationships.

But comic books can explode with hundreds of books coming out in a year. The movie universe doesn't have that king of production, so it remains to be seen if people pay attention.

I do like super-heroes who don't take themselves too seriously.
