So I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy - it was amazing. I am really close to being sure it's the best of the marvel films so far (but the trailers are just *sighs* - I was going to see it pre trailers, the trailers made me pause - then I went anyway, and hell yes).
It's a fun film, it's an engaging film, it's got an awesome soundtrack, and there's emotion. It's balanced as well, you don't get the weird humour then action jolt thing that existed with Iron Man 3 at points. It introduces the guardians, and introduces their backgrounds, basically doing what it took four films to do with avengers...and there are three named, have main parts women (plus two named women with passing roles). And a raccoon. And Groot. Groot is very important.
On the downside - it isn't worth waiting for the post credit bit. It really isn't.
I have also seen How to Train Your Dragon 2 *loves* - the two best films in ages (and HTTYD films win for showing disabled people being useful, zomg, even if they are less balanced on other things).
