Lilah ,'Not Fade Away'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I might go see it to listen to Vin Diesel, though, provided he has enough dialogue...
To tell, or not to tell...
But if you don't like comedies, you shouldn't bother go seeing one. Even though I thought it was definitely less funny than the trailers imply, it's still clearly a comedy.
I found GotG fun, but not up to the hype. Or even the previews. They were funnier.
I agree that it doesn't live up to the hype, but there was a lot of really funny shit in the movie that wasn't in the previews. The thing with Rocket asking for the guy's leg and then the guy's eye killed us.
Maybe because it skews too much on the goofy comedy side, it seems from the trailers
The movie is actually not as relentlessly goofy and comedic as the trailers make it look. It has a lot of lighter moments and typical undercut-the-drama Marvel humor, but it's also very much a dramatic movie. Pretty good balance.

Uh, well, he does say, "I am Groot," a lot. (Also I love that he recorded that dialogue in other languages for foreign releases.)
he does say, "I am Groot,"
This is probably the single reason why I am seeing the movie tomorrow.
I loved GotG muchly, although in a different way than I loved the recent Captain America film. I loved Rocket, but found that Drax got the biggest laughs from me.
I also just about lost it at the second post-credits sequence. What a cameo...

"Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too good." Dead.
That was my personal favorite too.
I need to see it again to get all the dialog I missed because of the audience reactions.
I liked it a lot better than I expected to based on the trailers. Most of Peter Quill being an unlikeable smartass was in them, so that character was a lot easier to sympathize with in the film as a whole.

Yeah, we missed the next minute or so of dialogue after Rocket revealed he was fucking with Quill about needing the leg because the whole audience was laughing so hard.
I spent most of the movie thinking "This is fun, but only on a surface level for me," but then I thought they nailed the ending and the found family thing.
I went with IMAX 3D, and I think that was a good call. More for the IMAX than the 3D.
Loved it. Very pleased.
