Those thoughts are unrelated (perhaps there should be a paragraph between the two sentences).
Don't like the look of this movie at all.
I'm not thrilled either. The dialogue in the trailers hasn't impressed me — is that the best they can show off, or is that just the best trailer fodder and it will all work better in context? The trailer editing is not good, rather awkward, not sure if that is just the marketing department being lazy or what, but it makes it harder for me to get excited. Plus, Groot moves awkwardly, Rocket talks awkwardly, the plot sounds kind of dumb and I don't sense anything that's going to grip me emotionally.
Pros: visually, it looks great, very colourful. Great use of CGI to create these other worlds. I like the playful use of music in setting the tone.
There is a part of me that is hopeful and I do believe that to some extent the trailers haven't given the best impression and the movie itself will turn out to be engrossing. Remember the trailers haven't really shown off that much, basically the same, very basic story summary reiterated in each trailer amongst a bunch of rapid, indecipherable shots of colourful stuff. We know nothing about how it works in the film, nothing about what actually makes the film what it is. I certainly feel like I know nothing about the film, which is why I can be hopeful, despite not liking the trailer.
I think I've just talked myself around. I'm feeling it now. Now we just wait for the early impressions to role in.
I've got a feeling this movie will bomb at box office compared to other marvel movies.
It's a new series, it has no recognisable characters, but it's riding the Marvel rocket. (Who knows what the greater audience will think of the trailers) I can't see it doing worse than Thor. I'll play the guessing game and say a $75m opening.
