Brian Fowler Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 So, my question is, would this be OK for my 6 year old that loved Avengers? I think probably. A little bit of that old "mild language" and there is some implied sexuality here and there, although probably not blatant enough for a 6 year old to really pick up on it. There is violence and death and all that, but no more so than Avengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 So, my question is, would this be OK for my 6 year old that loved Avengers? It's about at the level of Explorers or The Goonies for cursing, but excepting a couple of creepy bits where people explode (not bloody, but it takes a little while) I don't think there's anything nightmare inducing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Redbone or Real McCoy? Craig: Bereet is an alien filmmaker that followed the Hulk around for a couple of years in the '70s and 80s. In GotG she works for The Collector and, well... That's actually a different character. Different actress as well. Melia Kreiling played Bereet. Collector's servant was Carina, played by Ophelia Lovibond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Thought it was fun and entertaining, but i dont know if i would personally put it over either Cap movie. ----- Cool story that Marvel arranged a screening for Bill Mantlo to see the movie.

blitzkrieg Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Figured I'd chime in with some more love for the movie. As a comic reader there were some obvious "BUT THAT'S NOT HOW IT IS IN THE COMIC" thoughts but at the same time I almost felt like this might have been one of the most loyal to the source material Marvel movies yet. The changes that were made all seem to be trying as hard as possible to stay true to the intent of the original concept. I look forward to seeing a second time since I'm the type of person that misses almost all the cameos and Easter Eggs on the first viewing. Personally I expect this to make a ton of money if simply for the fact that my mom, who has never watched a Marvel movie before, actually loved it when she went to see it with my nephew. The fact that my mom will probably go see the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie when it comes out is just mind blowing. So, my question is, would this be OK for my 6 year old that loved Avengers? I went to a 12:30 PM matinee and there were a lot of families in there and I was surprised at how well behaved they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 There's definitely a lot of language. Tons of Ass. One kind of unfortunate Bitch because it's a great moment and I don't want my kid repeating it back to his mother, and one implied F-bomb. Implied sexauality. Another key moment based around the word "whore." That middle finger uncensored. Lots of guys getting skewered but they're pretty alien looking. You know your parenting style better than I do, but if my wife was there with me and the 12 year old, I'd probably have gotten some flack, and probably would have deserved it a bit too since we don't have time to prescreen these things anymore. Movie was great, unsurprisingly. I bet I missed a half dozen easter eggs. It really felt like a post-modern Star Wars to me, a Star Wars for a generation that's listless, inundated with pop culture and constant, effortless gratification, and basically a bunch of entitled jerks. The heart of the movie is basically around the premise of "hey, maybe this time, for once, we can actually give a damn!" which I think sort of says it all. That the movie still works so well is pretty brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Did the failed servant who was also that kind of alien have a name in the movie? Yes, as I said, her name is Carina. If you mean the third one that got put in the tank, don't think she got a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the third one that got put in the tank, don't think she got a name. Yeah, I meant the third one. Note to self: Do not displease The Collector. Seriously, though, Del Toro's role was a lot smaller than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Yeah the third one had no name. I really just wish I could've been in the room to see Kevin Feige explain to Del Toro that his last scene is a jokey tag scene with Howard the Duck. http://boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/ On your left, DC/Warner Bros.

Raziel Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'll start gloating over it in the Summer Pool thread since I put it at the top of my BO list. Even more when it hits my tiebreaker prediction and I get to laugh at SKoS and ZIedler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 There were actually people here who thought this would bomb? Come on. It's a Marvel film in 2014. They've been making epic bank out of b-list nobodies for the last few years and we're yet to reach the point of diminishing returns. There was no way this was failing. Especially by August standards. I wish Karen Gillan and Lee Pace would have gotten to make more of an impression. Otherwise, this was a whole lot of fun. Also, I can't believe I didn't notice Alexis Denisof. Again.
