Comic Book Films & TV

[LL!]

[Ruki]

I am going to love this movie.

[Avenged Probably]

Yeah, awesome stuff. Captures the tone of the books brilliantly. Nice to see some who haven't read the books excited too, that's encouraging.

I've never seen Pratt in anything before, but from the trailer seems perfect.

Sad that I didn't get to hear Groot or Rocket speak though.

[apsham]

It definitely doesn't make the plot clear at all but I still love it.

That'll be the second trailer for sure.

I cannot god damn wait to get home and see this.

[SRN]

As someone who is aware of the Guardians, it's awesome.

But I really don't think it does a good job of letting those unaware of the comic know what it's all about.

Oh god, I am so glad i studied up on a bunch of the Guardians comics. Now I am even more excited.

[Colly]

Looks amazing. Also, Peter Serafinowicz!

[Avenged Probably]

I love that when I tried to describe the film to a friend (who loves the Marvel movies but doesn't read comics) he looked at me like I was mental.

"Yeah so it's like Avengers, but in space. There's a guy called Star Lord and the rest of the team consists of a hot green alien woman, Batista, who will also be green, a Racoon and a Tree."

[TKz]

I got to bed every night praying that Peter Serafinowicz has been cast as Richard Rider and not just some random Nova Corp member.

I want it so bad.

[Colly]

I just think back to Michael Rooker trying to explain it on Soccer AM and pissing himself laughing when he came to Vin Diesel playing Groot. Just looks so much fun.

[Berober]

I am excited for this.

[livid]

Looks like Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Jamie Bell and Kate Mara are going to be the new Fantastic Four.

They're clearly skewing younger with this one but dammit if they didn't line up a solid group of young actors.

[Maxx]

Meh. I'm all for changing things up, but they've yet to get it right, so I'm not going to have high hopes for it. Plus we really don't have an idea of what Trank's style is on a typical film.

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh, it's him? I watched Chronicle yesterday. It was okay.

[Gabriel]

I believe that I will enjoy the movie, as I have even the shittiest of comic flicks.

I believe that the actors are all solid young talents.

I don't believe this is going to be the Fantastic Four movie that the property deserves.

[Jimmy]

Jamie Bell's a very weird choice for The Thing.

[Skummy]

I love that Marvel have just gone utterly, utterly insane with Guardians Of The Galaxy. It's a big risk, and pretty much the proving ground for the comic book movie bubble - a test to see if people will still pay to see a Marvel movie that isn't a big name property.

I would have thought that, taking that risk, they would have made a point not to be too alienating, and to cast some big names to counteract how odd it is. And they've done...exactly not that. It's brilliant.

Someone on Twitter summed it up rather wonderfully recently;

Marvel: "Let's make a movie with a talking space raccoon and his tree buddy! "

DC: "A movie starring a woman? Jeez, I don't know..."

[TCO]

Michael B Jordan and Kate Mara are great casting choices individually but shouldn't two characters who are biological siblings be the same ethnicity? This isn't really "Donald Glover can't be Spider-Man" all over again, just curious as to how they're going to play it off if the casting is true? Jordan would make an excellent Johnny Storm and if the Storms are black, Sue should totally be played by Megan Good.

[GoGo Yubari]

He'll be adopted probably.

[livid]

Yeah it's going to be something as simple as that or having different mother or father. Some guy on Twitter was trying to troll me about that, insisting that they had to be blood related because that was important in one arc once.
