Re: Guardians of the Galaxy
I love a good turn-your-mind-off Sci-Fi, but I've found most of the Marvel movies pretty mediocre. Is this one different enough to warrant a trip to the cinema?

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy
I know a lot are going to disagree with me, but as someone who finds the Marvel movies very dull, I don't think this was really anything new or exciting. The comedic touch was appreciated, but not enough to outweigh all the tiresome Marvel BS.ABNorman wrote:I love a good turn-your-mind-off Sci-Fi, but I've found most of the Marvel movies pretty mediocre.

i just really liked the fact that it was extremely enjoyable despite the fact of never hearing about these Guardians before. never once did i think about the name Marvel being associated with this film.

It is probably the one you'd have the easiest time enjoying, but it is still clearly within the boundaries of that universe.

I know that I'm a bad person but would it be way out of line to take my seven year old son to see this?

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy
There is a little bit of cursing in it (I think they say "shit" a couple times) and a considerable amount of violence. I don't think it'll harm your child.

I've often wondered how a father/son viewing of The Road would go down. Might save that until he is eight.bart wrote:You should take the kid to see Snowpiercer.
