Hello everyone,
MrCBM56 here to give you his quick thoughts on the newly released trailer for the highly anticipated,
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. While waiting for the trailer, I didn't know what to expect. And to be quite honest, I'm a bit dissapointed. That's not to say the trailer was bad, because it wasn't, just didn't meet the expectations I set myself for. Let me elaborate on the problems I had:
Story; we didn't learn anything about it. I think Marvel made this trailer to sorta introduce people to these characters and who they are. We got a little background on some of the characters (Drax), but for the most part, we didn't learn anything we didn't already know. another thing is Rocket Raccoon and Groot! I REALLY wanted to hear them speak...we didn't. This is more of a nit-pick than problem per-say, but I think it qualifies. Andof course...humor... Ah, c'mon. You knew it was coming. Let me say that humor isn't bad, but some of it felt forced.
There were some great things though. THE VISUALS. Rocket, Groot, the space battles, Xandar, the rap-sheets... ALL LOOK PERFECT! The CGI is great. The makeup is also great and I love Gunn for having more practical effects than an over-load of CGI. Another thing is the humor, wait what? besides of what I said earlier, the humor was still pretty funny. Especially at the beginning and in the middle with the prison guard. Chris Pratt is a very funny guy. His introduction to trailer was even really funny. Another thing is, and I can't really explain it, is the sci-fi feel. It just has that "it" to it that makes it abnormal and awesome! I love it.
To conclude this article, I will say that GOTG looks to be a unique, fun, exciting twist on not only the CBM genre, but with movies in general. I look forward to it.
