Too bad we've been robbed of Darkseid for who knows how long.

On the other hand, there's the thought that they haven't wasted his potential yet (can't say the same for Kang).

Well, I saw it and it was good.  

If this one doesn't do well, that is the sure sign Marvel has peaked.  Ant Man you could kind of write off since it was bad.  But not this.  If people don't turn out, it's because they just aren't that interested in Marvel movies anymore.

I'm glad you thought it was good though, I skipped Ant-Man mostly too

Also, and this may not be original...

 

  Reveal hidden contents

When Groot says, "I love you."  That is Gunn saying goodbye and expressing his feeling for this cast. It is a heartfelt self insert, and for once I liked the self insert.

 

Spoiler

I just thought this was meant to show the audience what the Guardians "hear" when Groot speaks, once you can understand him.  I do like the idea it is also Gunn's personal message to his cast though.

"Who knew Drax and Groot were a secret thing? Blew my mind when they look in each other's eyes and whispered 'WE ARE GROOT!' "

The fact that this is believable shows how "interesting" things are.

Saw it yesterday and thought it was ok.  I actually thought Rockets flash back scenes were the best part of the movie.  I'm getting real tired of 

Spoiler

not killing off the bad guy but killing off like 20,000 of the bad guys' goons.  

I also felt it was really dumb that we know the bad guy is obsessed 

Spoiler

with Rocket so lets have him be by himself when we're near the bad guy.

Overall I thought it was ok and the best MCU film since the last Spiderman.

Wow, if it sticks the landing and only has a 50% drop that is excellent for a super-hero movie.

Shows what a good movie will do. Still think that the Marvels will be lucky to clear $600.

I have no interest in seeing another Marvel movie, at least for multiple years. I don't care how good it is, how hyped the word of mouth is...I'm just totally burned out on their content.

The good news is, I think I am in the (possibly extreme) minority. A good Marvel movie should still draw really well. They just can't skate on the name anymore and think a mediocrity will hit a billion.

I was in the same boat, but am tempted to see this one. The only thing holding me back is the animal torture. Not sure I can or am willing to sit through that.

The animal torture is being slightly exaggerated in my oppinion.  It comes across more like a horror movie than realistic animal torture.  Still may be too intense for kids.  My wife was OK with it, and she is very sensative to animals being hurt.

One thing about that Marvels trailer is that it did make me want to finally sit down and watch Ms. Marvel.

Was that any good?  She seems like a likable character.

anything less than $640M and it will set a new MCU record of sequel BO below its predecessor (BP:WF $491M less than BP)

1. Spoiler

   At least it all works out well in the end, with a great rescue scene.

I enjoyed it. Slow build but wrapped me up before mid-stream

With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 repping the best second weekend hold for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title post-pandemic at -49% with $60M+

again, forget post-pandemic, this will be 4th best 2nd weekend hold of any MCU movie: >$750M assured, should hit $800M

I thought the trailer made the movie look cheap.  The alien moon scene looked like Dr Who level effects, costumes, and scenery. Plus, that silly teenage style humor is just getting really old, and I am not the market.

There is a lot of positive word of mouth on this movie and while gauging Yahoo comments which is the cesspool of jumping on the hate bandwagon, even many there are conceding that this movie was a fun finale to Gunn's trilogy.
