    Isn't he already announced to be voicing it no?

    First picture of Rooker as Yondu

    Also Feige seems to suggest Ronan The Accuser (Pace) will be the main villain in the film with Thanos 'lurking from above it all'.

    Bautista is stouter than I expected; looks great though. Really demonstrates the mismatched group of rogues theme, and the criminal lineup is an excellent way to establish it as the antithesis to the Avengers

    How in the name of christ is there no trailer for this yet?

    There's bound to be one soon, I'd imagine they'll want to get one out before Winter Soldier hits screens

    and Bautista is going back to WWE - so he will want it promoted non stop (like the Rock when GI Joe 2 came out - it's all you could feckin see)

    Rocket Raccoon will steal the show here

    why is Rihanna in this?

    Looks more like Zoe Saldana to me.

    James Gunn stated well ahead of time that there wouldn't be one.

    Oh, did he? Missed that. Still surprising.

    I think it's good though. Like, it's still 6 months away, I'd hate for it to be over saturated before it's even released.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Porbably not ready.
    Would prefer this to be done properly rather than quickly.

    Properly definitely but studios usually prefer quickly. There's definitely going to be something with Winter Soldier

    Would be far more fitting in fairness.

    According to Yahoo, the first trailer, which is over 2 minutes long, is out next Monday :)

    Where'd you find it?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Ha, that's nuts. I tell ya, if Marvel can sell a homicidal space-raccoon to Joe Public, they can sell anything really. I find myself getting genuinely excited to finally see some footage of this, and I'm hoping it's as fun and energetic as it sounds. The Marvel films are getting awfully turgid and interchangeable: Rocket Raccoon could be the answer!

    and yet DC say Wonder Woman would be difficult to bring to the screen in a convincing way. Yet there we have a little gun wielding talking raccoon riding atop a tree person.

    True, though GoTG could yet bomb spectacularly; and I guess as it has a conventional white male as its lead, a sassy anthropomorphic sidekick is probably still an easier thing to package than a confident, strong female lead. Though DC do seem a bit less savvy so it could also be just their broad incompetence.

    Think that the last section is the issue here.

    Look at the Catwoman flick FFS

    It's either going to be a decent hit or not do so well and be more of a cult type affair. It's certainly different anyway and Marvel do have to be applauded for going with some more out there characters in the Marvel universe.

    Yeah, cos nobody would go to an action movie with a strong female lead. Just look how The Hunger Games movies have bombed.............. Oh wait.

    I know nothing about GoTG. Barely heard about them before a couple of years ago. Then heard about crazy raccoon and an ent. Certainly a huge departure from the more "realistic" (So to speak) tone of, say, Iron Man and Captain America. Will be interesting to see how this tone will be included in Phase Three of The Avengers cycle.

    Must give serious credit to Marvel for doing this movie. They are certainly taking a serious risk. Good to see studios actually taking a chance like this instead of sticking to one tone.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Nolan's Batman trilogy and I love the serious angle they took but I am also looking forward to some batsh*t crazy and fun action

    Without having seen anything yet I hope it does well for Marvel. Risk deserves reward (If it's good :) )

    Full trailer



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,701 ✭✭✭Bacchus


    Class song :)

    Looks to be far lighter than I was expecting, lot of humour flowing through the trailer. Visually it looks great too. Looking forward to this now. I still haven't the foggiest what it's supposed to be about but there is a rampaging machine gun wielding raccoon on top of an Ent so I'm sold :)

    1:22: Obscene Gesture Imminent
    1:25: Obscene Gesture Alert :D


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Yeah the tone certainly looks comedic, not sure the trailer sold me though; all felt a bit flat, but maybe that's cos the trailer kept itself focused on Chris Pratt's character to the exclusion of everything else. Guess they don't want to scare the public away too soon :D

    Been looking forward to this trailer for months, and it didn't disappoint!

    No dialogue from Rocket though?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    The only thing missing was hearing Rockets accent, other than that the trailer has delivered. It looks so different to everything else Marvel has done so far, which is exactly what they needed to do. Very excited for this!

    Chris Pratt ain't selling those beats at all. Which is a shame because the guy seems incredibly likeable; which may actually be the problem, nice guy Andy is struggling to convey the inherent dickness required by the character. Also, how cheap does the cell scene look. Did john c really's set and costume come of Star Trek: Voyager.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 689 ✭✭✭donegal11


    Not for me. Hate the comedic tone to action movies(Iron Man 3)


  • Registered Users Posts: 476 ✭✭Burky126


    Seems dull. Nothing in this trailer sold me on this concept.


  • Registered Users Posts: 274 ✭✭CPSW


    Having known nothing about the background of the Guardians of the Galaxy other than it is a comic, I am looking forward to seeing this after watching the trailer.

    Looks like a fun "popcorn" movie, with some laughs and action.

    Good so see Marvel focusing on other lesser known (to the general public) characters with their future movies with the likes of this and Ant-Man


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    its not the best trailer but i put that down to tone as everything in it looks good.

    pratt keeps reminding me if sean william scott with a few quaterpounders down him, but as mentioned he does come off as very likeable.

    ive heard this is being sold as along the lines of star wars more than anything else (or hans solo and his amazing friends so to speak ) so im interested to see how it works out.

    LOVE rocket. dont know for the life of me why but he's not coming off as ridiculous as he should and ive a feeling he'll be the bit player to watch.

    still great to finally see some official footage thats not pixilated to death. also looks like the lads that captured em are the nova corps. least that looks like novas emblem on their uniforms so i presume he's gonna turn up at some stage in this too.

    I'm curious to know what someone who'd never even heard of GotG would make of the trailer - assuming most who have replied here are at least vaguely aware of the comic; I suspect they'd be a bit lost and underwhelmed.
