fuzmeister: Guardians of The Galaxy
Kate and I caught this one last night. I was on the fence on seeing it in the theater since I'm not super familiar with the source material, but, damn, this was a fun movie!
The whole film captured the essence of Star Wars quite well in some ways. The half-action/half-comedic tone worked really well and I loved the soundtrack. The casting was excellent as well, though I wasn't particularly attached to Zoey Saldana's character.
The infinity stone macguffin was completely forgivable just based on how much fun this movie was. I'm quite excited to see the direction they take the already-announced sequel in. Deeper story, more laughs, more awesome music - do it, Marvel!
Mood: Satisfied

Of course this is taking place in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it's more than likely that these guys are going to meet up with the Avengers at some point. Probably for Thanos faceoff, as I'm willing to bet that the Tesseract, Loki's spear, and the Aether from Thor 2 are all Infinity Stones. While The Avengers had a good mix of comedy and action, it never felt like a cartoon. I'm interested in seeing how they combine the two. I'm picturing Tony Stark and Rocket having a conversation right now and it just doesn't seem to work.
