I also went to see Guardians of the Galaxy last night! :D SO MUCH AWESOME. The pacing! The set-ups and callbacks! Dying surrounded by idiots! :D
And the big swordfight between Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillan! And also everything about Groot. I tell you, after the movie while I was waiting for my train, I was just sitting on the platform with an enormous grin on my face, occasionally muttering "I am Groot" very quietly. BECAUSE GROOT.
And yeah, I don't really think this movie was even supposed to have a plot, exactly; its purpose is to introduce Thanos and the Infinity Stones in a way that doesn't feel too infodumpy, and also to be a hell of a lot of fun. At which it succeeds on both counts, imo. :D
(Also, as a relatively hardcore comics nerd, I note they're only doing six Infinity Stones instead of ten. I approve. Nobody can keep track of ten, but six can be conveniently rainbow-colored, and we can also have Groot casually point out during the big hologram infodump scene that the Tesseract is one. :D)
ALSO THE JET BOOTS. And the parts where pretty much everyone died at least once. And basically THE WHOLE MOVIE OKAY. ^_^ And, of course, tiny dancing Groot. *squees forever*
