The latest movie opening this weekend from Marvel Comics.

Raunchy, funny, best Marvel Comic movie they have made. I enjoyed it. Took the wife, she did not hit me after it was over with.

I loved it, didn't find it too raunchy either. The first couple minutes of the movie were unexpectedly heartbreaking, and definitely started the movie off with a somber note, but well worth watching!

My wife loved it, too, so there's a LOT to be said for that :lol:

Good to know, thanks! My wife and I aren't big on comic book movies as a whole but I might convince her this would make a good date night film.

By the way, those of us that grew up in the 60s/70s/80s will appreciate the "mix tape" that was the basis of the GoG soundtrack. I absolutely loved it, and loved the amusing 70's/80's references that Peter "Star Lord" Quill kept making.

Here's a YouTube video that plays all the songs AND includes the pleasing wheeling of a cassette player. Fun!

Our son and DIL saw it and he told me yesterday that he really liked it. My wife and I will probably go see it in the next week or so.

Took the family to see it Sunday. Very entertaining. Can't wait for the next one.

Loved It! My son is a Marvel Geek...so going with him is always a bonus! One of the few Marvel movies that I didn't pull out my phone to see how long we had been there...it was well paced and didn't have the typical Marvel overdone fights leading up to the big fight...that then leads up to the really big fight sort of feel.

I thought the movie did really good with the comic relief all through the movie even at the final moment. One of the few movies I have seen where I walked away with a smile.
