Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is presented by Marvel Studios and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gilian, Djimon Hounsou with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Commander Rael and Benicio del Toro as The Collector. Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film opens August 1, 2014

@Meteor I was thinking that too..And i also think actors are getting better at it..when Lucas when full cgi greenscreen hell those actors flubbed it bad..or he overused the cgi and ruined the performances..overall the industry has gotten way better...

Yesterday Guardians passed Thor 2 to become the 4th highest grossing movie in the MCU.
With China it will be 3rd and the highest grossing CBM of the year.

It was funny Batz. I'm going to figure out how to say exactly that to her tonight. Maybe I show her the gif? I don't know. It has to be organic.

"Generations behind other studios"

Ok...so what you are telling me is spending millions on gratuitous CGI eating budget for not return VS Controlled Budgets with Massive profit lines..

Ok..i understand now...wasting money on shots that dont impact the story or bottom line is a sign of studio maturity..probably why the profit lines at places like Sony are pretty bad...

rockerdude22 - 10/2/2014, 10:58 AM
I'm glad that they only used CGI when it was appropriate. The use of practical effects looks much better and much more realistic anyway.
