I have yet to see Winter Soldier, but GotG was not trash. To each his own, though.

Yes it's fine if you do enjoy it, don't mind me. It's just not my taste. There are many issues for me for that film, especially the cringey and unfunny parts, but I'll focus on the climax: That final boss fight using a dance off and finally they all hold hands at the end to defeat the villain. I mean... really? *facepalm*What is this, carrebears? my little pony friendship is magic?

Despite it all, I kinda adore Rocket and Groot. I wouldn't mind if the movie only stars them as the leads. Them against the universe.

Admittedly, I found the ending a bit iffy, as well. Definitely one of its weaker aspects. And another thing that bugged me towards the end of the film... It's reported that the city has been completely evacuated, but right after Ronan's defeated, everyone's....suddenly back in the city again? That had me scratching my head, and bothered me more than it should have.

Still a good movie, though. The prison scenes were the strongest, from my perspective.

not gonna lie, i too, cringed at the "dance off" ending.. several in the theater seemed to enjoy it though as did my 9-year old. he was a happy camper..

now im stuck between the GOTG "Target bonus exclusive" or GOTG "Best Buy Steelbook".. its for my son for Christmas and I feel like he'd appreciate the Steelbook as opposed to Dad appreciating an exclusive bonus feature lol.. decisions, decisions..

I got that Quinn couldn't just go up against the big baddy... but yea, weird ending. But its James Gunn directing and that guy always has crazy **** going on. I enjoy Gunn's works.

I'll save you the trouble... Best Buy is sold out on GOTG steelbook. Seriously. Websites are closed and it seems there was a small printing. One of my stores sold out in 15min from opening (I called) and the other had 7 before the doors opened, but they wouldn't hold me a copy. You'll have to work over more than double the price on eBay

It was pretty weird, but it fit Quinn's personality and the tone of the movie as a whole. That ending had me laughing like crazy, even if it was completely ludicrous. I'm just glad a movie with a talking raccoon and tree didn't try to take itself too seriously.

The Video and Audio have a 5.0 rating, But a 2.0 on the Extras, Its very typical of these Blu-Ray reviews, Most people buy them for the amount of Extras they package, Its unfortunate that its kind of the same type of extras that are found on the digital release, With the exception of the alternate ending.

But either way, I'm getting my copy on Tuesday via Amazon.

Here's an image of the Main Menu, I'm sure its animated.

Apparently it can only be ordered from the site, and the link to it is in the first post.

Ha yeah that's almost as dumb as beating a previously unbeatable villain with leap frog and a series of kicks and having a normal human woman finishing him off.

But what movie would suck enough to do THAT ridiculous thing? Hahaah

After seeing the news of this, I'll likely wait until I see these in the $5 bin unfortunately given how limited content is provided. We've already discussed this film in death and sadly this is a "save for a rainy day" type of package. Unlike a comic series or TV episode where a recurring, recycled plot can be gone away with for a little with, a movie needs to show a much richer form of artistry, and unfortunately if it weren't for the hype and momentum along with the novelty of being the first live action Turtle movie in over 20 years, this film would have been unprofitable.

Well to be fair... they were holding hands while holding an artifact of doom that kills whoever touches it so they were kinda dispersing the power among themselves to stop the bad guy without dying in the process..... but yeah, people would rather see heroes take down the bad guy with buck buck.

d kinda rather have 'I'm distracting you, asshole!' myself.

Anyone who thinks Guardians of the Galaxy was trash has literally no sense of humour.

Came here to post the exact same thing. Shoulda known that it'd be light on extras. The menu does look pretty cool though.

Exactly. At least Guardians of the Galaxy STARRED the Guardians of the Galaxy...not an outside force (aka not the title characters aka Megan Fox) who nailed the final hit on the bad guy ('hey, but they had Splinter do it in Turtles 1'...what can I say...Splinter is better than Megan Fox) do it and was the main focus for at Least the first 20 minutes of a 90-some minute movie, and even after that the Turtles weren't actual characters. They had their names and that's it.

While Guardians from the get-go was ABOUT one of the Guardians of the Galaxy...and actually had scenes that MADE SENSE to lead up to other scenes (the beginning has Chris Pratt's character, as a child, dealing with his mom dying...at the end? Adult Chris Pratt seeing his mom in bed again, but this time grabbing her hand which actually Worked within both the story & emotions)....not a 'Hey I'm Raph and I'm getting Sentimental in this Out of the Blue Speech that had Zero lead up since I wasn't even mean/rude/crude to any of my brothers let alone had even a pinky Fingernail of development to justify this speech At All at the end of the movie'.

And at least in Guardians the characters had some actual/tiny depth to them (Rocket talking about that he didn't ask to be this way when they tore him up and put him back together again...Drax with his whole 'wife & kids' being killed)...while all the makers of the new Turtles film could muster up was "Hey I'm Mikey, and I have a Boner...and I farted in my bros' faces. So what up?'

Guardians didn't have to resort to Fart Jokes & and Boners for 'humor' like Turtles did. So yeah, I'm a Turtles fan but Guardians was an Actual Good Film. Guardians is what the Turtles film SHOULD have been (a fun sense of humor that was based on characters and not either creep/stalker material, farts, boners...characters that had at least bits of depth/emotion to them that while wasn't original was at least appreciated, and again actually Starred the title characters in their own film.
