17 minutes worth of 2 foot fury; a small preview of Guardians of the Galaxy.

So tonight I waited almost 2 hours just to watch a 17 minute preview of the upcoming film "Guardians of the Galaxy" which comes out in only 3 weeks.  Myself and my son were sandwiched between two people of dubious showering habits, one of which was taking up way more than his share of the two seats divided between us, causing me to have to lean at a 45 degree angle during the entire time seated.

And it was fucking worth every second.

Once the director James Gunn finished introducing the movie and we got to the actual film I was pulled in almost immediately.  Now going in I was pretty sure I wasn't going to see too much new footage, and I was completely right in that, just about every high point in this scene has been in a trailer somewhere, but the sign of a good movie is all of the stuff in between the highlight reels, that is the meat of the story telling.  I'm here to tell you that while the highlights have all the "Fuck Ya!" moments, it will be the meat of the story telling where this movie will win over fans.

If the rest of the movie is as well written as this little preview then all the people who have been saying that this is going to flop are going to have to have those words shoved up their ass sideways.... dry.

And do you want to know one of the biggest reasons why?  This little fucker right here.

I weigh 30 pounds, 15 of it is nut sack

In this little clip they did a great job of showing you who 4 of the 5 main characters are and did a decent job with the 5th, and I can tell you that Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper) is going to steal this fucking movie just like Hulk did in Avengers.  The only character I can see making a bigger impact would be Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel).  Everyone loves and underdog, we tend to root for the little guy, but you know what we love more?  A little guy who doesn't know he is a little guy, and Rocket has more balls than just about any other character I have ever seen as a hero in a movie.  Seriously this dude is fucking nuts and smart as hell, and when he gets a gun in his hand, well, even Rambo would shit a couple tons of bricks.

The thing is, though, EVERY character that they introduced in this clip was pretty damn cool and well defined.  By the end you knew pretty much who every one was, what their motivations are, and how they are going to interact with each other.  Most movies can't fucking do that in 2 hours and Guardians fucking did it in less than 15 minutes.

And now I can't fucking wait to see more.
