June 16, 201410 yr Author Another trailer for 'Guardians' has been revealed. http://youtu.be/0_OQFp8VtHc Word on the street is that Marvel are already discussing a sequel, which could potentially be out by May 2016.
June 27, 201410 yr Author New 'TV Spot' has been released, it's a minute long and features snippets unseen in the previous five trailers.
July 8, 201410 yr Author Thanks Shepherd. Yet another 'extended' trailer. Loads of new footage, including Zoe Saldana having a scrap with Karen Gillan.
July 8, 201410 yr Author Impressions of Marvel’s recent 17-minute 'Guardians' preview. Spoilered as a precaution. Quote We saw 17 minutes of Guardians of the Galaxy and it was awesome. Tonight Marvel debuted 17 minutes of Guardians of the Galaxy footage on IMAX screens across the country and we were there to check it out. This footage, although structured in the same way, is almost completely different than the Disneyland nine minute preview. Spoiler It opens with a modified version of the trailer lineup. Here they establish Gamora as the adoptive daughter of Thanos and sister of Nebula. While Nebula’s picture is shown, Thanos’ image is obscured. Also Quill’s flip-off is uncensored. From there the characters are moved to the Kyln. Gamora, Rocket, Quill, and Groot are led in handcuffs while Groot’s “I am Groot” begins to annoy Star-Lord. He calls Rocket a raccoon, which earns a funny “What’s a raccoon?” from him. Then comes the Walkman scene from the first trailer, which starts a montage set to “Hooked on a Feeling”. Quill is sprayed with an orange liquid from a huge hose, and when he’s drying off Rocket walks in and he’s been doused as well. You can see a shaved spot on Rocket’s back with implants, which refers to the experimentation he’s been through. Rocket hatches a plan to escape, and as he’s explaining to Quill and Gamora the need to grab the battery last, Groot disconnects it and triggers chaos in the prison. Gamora fights guards to get a key device from one of their arms, Groot fights off drones with Rocket, and Drax joins in while Star-Lord goes after a prosthetic leg. Once they have what they need, the group storms a small guard room where Rocket begins hacking the tower. Nova Corps show up with rocket launchers and begin firing on them. Just when the windows can’t sustain another hit, Rocket finishes his hack and turns off the artificial gravity everywhere but in their room. He detaches the room and used hacked drones to fly it out of the main prison area. That’s where the footage ends and goes into an extended trailer set to “Cherry Bomb”. Most of the footage has been seen, but there are a couple of awesome new shots of Ronan the Accuser. The highlight is a single frame of him kneeling at Thanos’ throne. Thanos’ back is turned, but you can see his arms and shoulders. Following the trailer is the same “I have a plan” scene from the Disney footage and quick shots of Rocket’s ship causing havoc in Knowhere. There is also a single frame of Yondu pointing and grinning at the camera. Based on the turnout and reaction to the footage, Guardians of the Galaxy is going to be huge. Those who called it “risky” or labeled it as “Marvel’s first bomb” probably spoke too soon.
July 9, 201410 yr ^ Got to see the preview yesterday, honestly it was hard to watch since it was my first time in IMAX, I prefer just regular 3D since you could barely focus on what was going on. Groot is really likeable though, he's comedic and I think people will like him. Drax however is just scary. Nothing is a metaphor to him. He takes everything to a literal meaning
July 9, 201410 yr Author I'm getting such a good feeling about this movie, I hope it tears up the box office and Marvel are encouraged to keep trying new things. They seem to be nailing the humour, and Rocket Raccoon will clearly steal the show. For some reason, something about his voice just screams 'Zoolander' to me. I wonder if the shiny purple oval-shaped thing on Ronan's hammer will turn out to be another Infinity Gem?
July 9, 201410 yr It's already confirmed to be one of the Infinity Gems. It's the Power stone (which is actually supposed to be red), and ironically the Aether in Thor The Dark World, is red but in the comics it's purple, just switching around the colours it appears.
August 10, 201410 yr So anybody here see it yet? I haven't heard much about it from people I know, I saw alot of kids saying they liked it alot/
August 14, 201410 yr Man this movie was fantastic. Just pure fun. All the heroes were great. Surprisingly funny the whole way through. The villains were bit weak, but this was about the heroes being awesome more than the villain. Probably the second best marvel movie after Winter Soldier. Marvel took a gamble here and it paid off in spades.

February 1, 20187 yr I recently remembered something about the making of this movie. Marvel had a "creative committee" which advised and gave notes on the movies during production. After Disney restructured Marvel and Marvel studios, this is not longer the case. Specific to Guardians, the committee advised director James Gunn to get rid of the music used in the movie. I can't imagine how much that would have ruined the feel of the movie as it's such an important aspect of the story for Peter Quill. Some people should not be involved in things they don't understand.

Some people should not be involved in things they don't understand. Hopefully, the studios take heed from that and realise that the trick to making decent comic book films is as simple as letting talented directors deliver a vision. Growing up, I never read the source material wanting everything to look and feel the same, the shared world but with different styles and approaches was a large part of what made it such fun. It's strange now to think back to the Guardians being labelled "Marvel’s first bomb" prior to the release.
