Guardians of the Galaxy: Praise the Spirits In The Sky

Guardians of the Galaxy

The first full trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy is finally online! We get a better sense of the characters, dialogue from Rocket, and the to hear Grott say “I am Groot”, all set to more classic rock. Let’s watch!

As if I weren’t pumped up enough for this film. Lots of good character moments here, including it being fairly clear that it’s Starlord who brings the team together (or at least sells them on not splitting up), that grout is likely the heart of the team (see the scene with the spores (?) coming out of his arm and giving a flower to a little girl), and that Rocket will likely have the best one liners. Obviously.

Great shot of Gelnn Close in there too as head of the Nova Corps and another great moment with John C. Reilly at the end.

My only question: **IS IT 1ST OF AUGUST YET?**

> From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.
