Okay so first of before I really start I want to say I think Guardians Of The Galaxy will be Marvels 2nd best movie next to Avengers Assemble, Avengers was an amazing movie and even if it wasn't we had waited a long time for it to be made an released it was an exciting moment in not only Marvel history but Comic Book history.
So without further ado here's why I think Guardians Of The Galaxy will be Amazing.
1. The Risk
As we've heard GOTG is a massive risk for Marvel Studios and yes they've said it about Iron Man but I think this is even more of a risk because there are comic book fans out there who don't really know who they are.
Yes they said Iron Man was a risk but lets face it he was always a recognisable face correct me if I'm wrong but I remember in my younger days I knew who he was, No he wasn't a big face like Spidey, Batman or Wolverine but it was a Superhero movie and lets face it these movies pull in an audience (sure they had Downey Jr. but still).
The risk of this movie will add to its success because no one will know what to expect its a Sci-Fi and its based in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
2. The Cast and Characters
This movie has one hell of a cast and some big names like Zoe Saldana, Benicio del Toro, Vin Diesel at first I was kinda let down by Chris Pratt being cast at Star Lord but after a while I realised no this is great because we don't want a pretty boy playing Peter Quill going around sleeping with alien chicks and leading a team of alien misfits, Bradley Cooper playing Rocket Raccoon? WOW I was shocked but that works so well Coopers laid back voice will add character to an already exciting character that I'm sure will pull in the laughs.
Vin Diesel's casting I liked but I thought it would be a shame that he would be playing Groot a character that would say the same thing every time he speaks but no I love this casting now plus like Bradley Cooper this casting choice will bring a lot of movie goers.
3. Marvels first Cosmic Movie
As people who have seen my past articles will know I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I know they've said GOTG wont be Marvel's Star Wars but I hope we see something in GOTG that we only saw parts of in Star Wars and thats the social life in the galaxy with all these different species running about, This'll show a different side to Marvel as well it'll show that Marvel can break the boundaries and show more aliens than just soldiers and such.
One scene I hope we do see, can you remember that concept art of the Guardians and a few other aliens sat around a table in what looked like a bar playing cards? I hope we see that because I'd love to see Peter Quills interaction with other species being a flirt with the ladies and a gambler/smart mouth with others.
I'm also interested in seeing what Marvel do with locations.
Also I always thought when the mention of Marvels Cosmics side came up that Nova would be the first cosmic character used on the big screen so it'll be cool to see if he cameos in this movie or if it'll only be through the Nova corps that he's represented.
4. Its a Team movie
Remember how exciting it was to see the Avengers all together for the first time? Well I think this will be the same but this is us meeting them all together unlike how we met the Avengers individually. Its going to be great seeing the characters interacting and fighting side by side but also it'll be interesting to see how the movie puts them together.
And if it take a team to do it, it indicates that the threat is something really bad.
5. I've been a fan for a long time
The reason I really am looking forward to this movie is because I've read the comics since I was a kid, I used to get graphic novels at decent place in town and one week I went to get a certain book but it was gone I was advised to try Guardians of the Galaxy and ever since I've loved the series when the latest series came out once again I fell in love with the characters and I love that they used this line up for the team.
6. Rocket Raccoon & Groot
Rocket and Groot and going to take the world by storm I have a strong feeling Groot having already been described as the 'Heart of the Team' Bradley Cooper said "I think Rocket is dynamic. He's the sort of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas guy", A Raccoon that can talk, run around on his hind legs, shoot and pilot a star ship will amaze people and I can only picture him as the joker of the team next to Quill.
Groot I think people who have never seen or heard of the character before will surprise people due to his limited vocabulary but at the same time I think they'll love how he's sorta the big muscle of the team Vin Dieseal and Bradley Cooper playing/voicing these characters just add more to them both accomplished actors they're gonna be great, I cant wait for a better look at that scene we saw last year with Rocket on Groots shoulders firing his gun as they engaged in battle.
So what do you guys think and hope for this movie?
