I can't speak for everyone else, but for me my comments had nothing to do with comic accuracy. I've never read GotG and really have no idea what it's about. I have no preconceptions.

 

My comment was about the effectiveness of the trailer.

 

The job of a movie trailer is to motivate the audience to go see the movie. This trailer didn't do that more me. For me, it didn't do it's job. It's is as simple as that.

 

If this film wants to have a light, comedic tone that's fine, I've got no problem with that. But then it needs to be actually funny. I can tell where I'm expected to laugh, but I just didn't. And I have a pretty healthy sense of humor.

 

I'm not hating on this movie. If they release a better trailer or it gets great reviews and word of mouth, I'll go see it. But based on what I've seen at this point, I'm not planning on it.

 

It's not nerd rage or a boycott. It's just being selective about what I spend my entertainment dollars on.

 

Same for me. Never read GOTG, but this trailer didn't impress.

I still stand behind my earlier claims that this film will be one of the biggest Blockbusters of all time and this generation's Star Wars. It's going to be a perfect storm. An easy 800+ million Worldwide and multiple viewings by kids who drag their folks back for a 2nd viewing will guarantee this.

 

 

I hope you're right. Really do. But the closest parallel I can think of is Hellboy. Quirky characters that have zero name recognition with the general public.

How about we go to the movies and ditch any pre-conceptions or expectations and just see if a movie can entertain us for 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon?

 

Basically, as far as super-hero films are concerned, that's why I don't get involved with the rabid speculation here. I just turn up to watch the film without any form of investment or pressure, trough a large bag of toffee popcorn, and hope to enjoy the experience. :wishluck:

 

+1,000

 

I understand people have their beloved characters and titles they read, and I can appreciate that. I get tired of people whining and complaining that this actor isn't this, or the character never looked like that, or that never happened :blahblah:

 

I'm with the folks who appreciate the pop corn and soda part of having a good time at a movie. If I turn into one of these curmudgeons I hope someone slaps the poop right outta' me. :slapfight:

 

It's pretty damn cool that I live in a time where I have the chance to see all these great comic based movies being made.

 

I couldnt agree more. Its kinda sickening how spoiled we are nowadays and how much we complain about these superhero movies. I remember growing up in the 80s/90s and I could only dream about an X Men movie being made. Its all at our doorstep now.

Tru dat! I'm still all giddy about the Mandarin in IM3! The total lack of character research for Bane! Let's not forget the total disregard for the death of Capt. Steacy storyline. Yeah, I guess a giant planet eating cloud ain't so bad.

 

Like i said, spoiled.

 

The Mandarin in IM 3 was BRILLIANT. One of the reasons I went back for a third helping was due to Kingsley's performance:

 

Mandarin: Ah, well, I had a little problem with... substances, and I, uh, ending up doing things, no two ways about it, in the street, that a man shouldn't do...

 

Tony Stark: Next?

 

Mandarin:: Then, they approached me about the role and they knew about the drugs...

 

Tony Stark: What did they say, they'd get you off them?

 

Mandarin: No, they said they'd give me more!

 

:roflmao:

 

 

:applause:

I won't watch the trailer because in the past Marvel have included the occasional small-but-key scene, as in the one they produced for The Avengers. :facepalm:

 

Much happier to remain completely in the dark until I'm sat there on the day with my popcorn. (thumbs u

 

Luckily my memory sucks so it is all new by movie time :D

Rocket Raccoon and Meryl Streep are presenting together. One of those CGI double-acts you sometimes see, where the animation only appears on TV.

 

Really?
