I just saw this movie 2 seconds ago.
I can't... words just don't...
Marvel is a godsend. Superhero movies weren't very... I dunno... people just didn't see them as something that could stand on its own until Iron Man and then the Avengers and now The Winter Soldier, The Dark World, and, just now, Guardians of the Galaxy. Compared to Iron Man and Captain America, Guardians is a pretty damn obscure comic book title and they just went and made it a hit movie. I think Marvel hit the nail on the head when they started focusing on casting these roles properly.
I can't say this enough, but I commend Marvel AND Disney (because people keep thinking Disney isn't going to do any justice to movies of this calibre when they're most known for stuff like The Little Mermaid and Mulan, both amazing movies... so I mean, what the fuck?) for being able to cast perfectly each time they make these superhero films. I'm actually very irked that a lot people don't seem to have faith in what Disney can and will do to the next trilogy in the Star Wars franchise. I mean, every movie past the Avengers has been above par in quality. Even the movies building up to it.
Blrbrekbrejrb. Enough ranting before I go on a ten page tangent on something irrelevant and stupid.
Oh, and I can't pick a favorite, so I'm just going to say Rocket because I'm in love with Bradley Cooper and Rocket had me hyped for the movie. Most people who didn't know about the Guardians (I was one of them, though I loved Rocket) seemed to WTF at a Raccoon being a leading character in a superhero movie. I was like, "FUCK YEAH RACCOON WITH A PENCHANT FOR GIANT FIREARMS!" But, I mean, everyone of the characters were enough to get me super pumped.
I love Marvel for picking Chris Pratt to play the role of Peter Quill. Looooove them. Guy only has experience as a supporting actor in movies and TV shows, gets the lead of a giant, big budget film and just knocks that shit out of the park. Amazing. Fuck the people who had no faith in him to carry the role. D:< D:< D:< He did that and then some.
Okay, gonna go ahead and slink away into my hole while I go scouring the internet for anything Infinity Stone related and maybe stuff on Captain America because Chris Evans is the best goddamn Dorito.
EDIT: I love how I went, "Words just don't..." and then proceed to write a novel. >_>
