Booked tickets to see this at the IMAX in Kingston next Thursday and I can't wait! One of my most anticipated films of the year.

Got an invite for this tonight but already had tickets to Hercules so went to that as planned.
Ipswich were going all out to promote this, staff were in costume and all the posters outside the cinema were changed to advertise this.
Really enjoyed Hercules but equally sorry to have missed out on this one!

not really knowing this Marvel comic did not know what to expect. posters show a green woman, a big bluish bloke, a raccoon, a tree and a guy looing like he has dropped out of the breakfast club - now could this be any good?

it was outstanding - strong characters which maintained the comic genre of misfits finding each other to become more than the sum of their parts. fantastic humour entwined into to the story. CGI enhanced the story rather than just because they can.

this is truly Marvel at its best

Just printed my ticket for this and noticed an early start time for Edinburgh - 6pm for 6.15pm. Never seen this before and may affect those like myself who always seem to be at the cow's tail!

A bit of a mess, to be honest.

More "the last starfighter" than "star wars".

No idea who half the villians were, & didn't care.

The one thing I did learn is that straggly pieces of twigs form the strongest, most interpenetrate shield in the known universe. They should really consider making F1 cars out of wicker in future.

...underwhelming... 6/10

Cineworld WIQ seriously need to get their act together. Not content with the "wait in the bar" nonsense, they stuck us in a big queue until 6pm, nearly forgot about the 3D glasses, not one of the 4 ushers helped latecomers find a seat, the floor was disgustingly sticky and the small ceiling lights kept going on and off all through the film. My local is turning into a dump!

Didn't find this film all that interesting. Checked my watch about every 10 minutes. Yes it was funny now and then but not hilarious. The motley crue of people were just too strange, none of the characters had any depth, the plot was meh and it just wasn't a patch on the new Star Trek films.

Underwhelming. 6/10
