Re: Guardians of the Galaxy
Loved this film - even the 3D worked! Didn't realise Bradley Cooper was the raccoon!!! Kept waiting for him to appear. Great music too. Very enjoyable and quite a few kids in last night's screening but thankfully they all behaved which showed they were enjoying it too.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy
You were lucky. I was at the West India Quay screening and had group of young children sat behind me (with parents sat behind them) and they did nothing but talk and make noise with their popcorn bags. We told them to be quiet several times but they (and the parents) just seemed to ignore our requests. Had a lady sat next to me with her little daughter and the mum too kept making rustling noises with sweet wrappers and other bits of food and giving her daughter a running commentary of what was going on in the movie. It's so rude of people! If you are going to make noise then do it at the noisy bits and not the quiet sections.biggins wrote:Loved this film - even the 3D worked!

Anyway thought the film itself was fantastic and would love to go and see it again 9/10

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy
Best marvel film I seen so far
9/10 for me. The film truly manages to find its own rhythm and tone. More emotional than Captain America, more awe-inspiring than Thor, more genial than Iron Man, and more playful than the Avengers.
About the cast, well Chris Pratt just looks gorgeous, engaging and very funny. Zoe Saldana as Gamora is a super bad ass, I like her from "La Colombiana" and still like her in Guardians. Then is Dave Batista who played a surprisingly good comic character for such a big and scary human being. Groot and Rocket voiced by Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper, respectively, certainly will be join the best super hero "bromance" list.
The visual and special effects are both absolutely fantastic. 3D works perfectly for me and the best part, I saw it on a private screen, free beer and Example sitting next to me :) what else you can ask for?
Thanks to superhero for the tickets, I'm in debt with you

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy
Saw this last night in Glasgow.
I enjoyed it, more than I'd expected too - even though I thought it was a bit too long.
Loved the music throughout & had many funny lines, some of which I thought were too old for some of the younger audience.
Am so glad that I was made aware that this was not a sequel to avengers assemble before going - I'd have been really confused!
7/10.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy
Watched it last night at my local in Enfield. Film started but it wasn't in 3D so a few were hollering to the rep from Marvel. They fixed it but with all that distraction, I didn't really get the first few minutes. It's a pity they didn't restart it. Hope I didn't miss much.
Once things got going, it was good fun. Considering I know nothing about the story, I enjoyed it. I also had no idea who voiced Rocket... until I read this thread. I bet Vin Diesel found his script challenging. 7/10

I didn't know you were there! Where did you sit? We were in the middle of the back row and we had some noisy family to our right as well.andrew.falconer wrote: You were lucky.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting many children as it was an evening screening so I was a bit put out, although I must say that the lad sitting next to OH was polite enough, and apologetic after he'd ripped his Marvel trading card game open, it exploded and several cards hit me in the head, LOL.
