Lol Slither and his Dawn of the Dead screenplay are better than most things Whedon has written. But he's also a big comic nerd so the thing sounds like a labor of love for him, not a mercenary job.
Guardian's of the Galaxy EXTENDED trailer, god damn this shyt looks good

It's funny cause it's true.
Slither is pretty cool and it's a horror movie that doesn't think it's better than the genre it's riffing on, unlike Cabin in the Woods. And DotD is one of the better horror remakes. Everyone thinks it jettisoned the social commentary of Romero's original but that shyt's still there, just encased in a more slicker aesthetic. Which really makes the commentary even more vital.
Also Whedon is only capable of writing characters that talk like him, James Gunn isn't.
Slither is forgettable trash.
Dawn of the Dead starts decent, falls apart midway through the movie.
Gunn is trash, untill he proves otherwise, his legacy is fukking scooby doo
I dunno how or why many of you get geeked up over a new Disney/Marvel trailer each and every time knowing damn well by now, Disney/Marvel are "by the numbers" brand of movie making. You pretty much know how this movie is going to go and how it will essentially end, because it's the same wash, rinse, and recycle type storytelling they always been doing.
Basically, it'll be another action-comedy with a lot of hit or miss jokes, the team will "meet" basically inadvertently in prison, figure out a way to escape, get recruited by someone to do some kind of special mission, have a villain that'll be weak and/or underused, create a circumstance in which the entire galaxy is in peril and the entire 3rd act will be a cluster of predictable action with no feel of urgency because you know the galaxy will be saved and they'll be so-called "heroes"... cue in after credit scene!
The end. (and this is based on what I've seen already from the trailers). UNLESS I AM HORRIBLY WRONG on this, this has THOR: THE DARK WORLD written all over!

So what you are saying is that in comic book movies the heroes win. Damn bruh, you really dropped a bombshell on us here. In those Batman flicks you thought there was a chance Batman wasnt going to win?

If someone told me five years ago they were going to make a Guardians Of The Galaxy movie I would've marked out.
Now, long after the glory days of the DnA comic book run and Marvel Studios' descent into manufactured cookie cutter cinema I couldn't care less.

It's really not a movie for hardcore marvel fans, per se. This entire story is really Marvel experimenting with having a movie that feeds into a new brand of comic. GotG is a old property, and the newest, 2nd most popular iteration was cancelled and rebooted a little more than a year ago to make room for this mo-
That's part of the appeal to me that it reminds me of Firefly and Serenity........
how is it not half as interesting if you haven't even seen the movie?
Slither is a dope flick, so I don't know why you're lumping that in with scooby doo...
I mentioned that in my original post my dude, and how this movie actually looks a lot better than the typical ho-hum superhero releases of late. This flick looks funny as fukk and I'm excited to see what Chris Pratt does with his role, I think it will be a really breakout role for the dude.

Is Thanos up in this chumpy?
The: The Dark World was a good movie, breh. I enjoyed it.
Are you saying you don't like comic/marvel movies? I mean, would you really give a fukk about this movie or story if it was random no name characters you've never heard about instead of known and established characters? What is your angle here?
there's a diff between enjoying a movie and it being good enough that you want to view it over and over again. Most of the superhero flicks arent ever "bad" movies, but most don't have a long-lasting appeal to me. I'm not going to be watching Thor 2, Ironman 3 or 2, cap etc five years from now. I'd definitely watch X-Men days of future past five years from now tho.
But you are just talking about personal preference now.
Frankly, I don't watch most movies over and over again, but the few movies I do tend to be comic movies. I've seen Avengers more times than probably any movie in the past 10 years and I still enjoy it.
One of the main reasons comic movies are/have been so big and popular lately is that rather than building a connection with a new character you know nothing about or may not even learn to care about, they are taking established characters that you already know or have heard about and building continuing stories with them. They could realistically make 5 more Iron Man movies and I'd be on board with all of them because we as an audience have grown to care about Tony Stark and the story of his life. I don't get that same kind of pay off from most movies or shows, and that's a major leg up comic movies have over other movies.
In for the little fire-power-animal with the white eye brows.
