Yeah, Rocket and Groot are right up there with Gollum for me.

They've gotten incredibly good with CG creature effects in the past 6 years or so, and I think they're largely superior to traditional stuff now for almost every situation. It was mostly the late 90's-mid 00's that had the terrible CGI beasties that had you wishing they'd used animatronics instead, Gollum being a noteworthy exception.

Jar Jar looks and acts great. He holds up pretty OK today. However, he's just a bad character in a worse movie. But his CGI is good.

When someone said that, it was like I'd just taken the red pill. I tried to deny it, but it just kept nagging at me like a motherfucker. New Yoda looks like Mark Hamill. The old puppet definitely doesn't.

I can't believe all those cool concepts for the Collector's place were done and they just went with "cluttered museum" in the movie.

I think the cluttered look worked better for the Collection, although a top-down view of the lanes btw cages would have been a better shout-out to Raiders of the Lost Ark than the magnet-ball.

I've been reading through this thread to see others' opinions on it, and I'm glad it wasn't a fluke that my friends and I liked it so much. Usually when it's a comic/video game based movie my brother or friends will ask me 'oh, are the books anything like this?' 'Who's this guy?' Aside from the Nova Corps being like, the space air force, I felt this movie was pretty good on setting everything up for a bunch of rather unknown characters (like, you know what you're getting into going to see a Spider-Man movie or a Batman for example). My only issue was that I would've liked to see a little more of Korath (Djimon Hounsou) even with his limited screen time, I cracked up at their first encounter, and toward the end when Quill got all giddy when he called him Star-Lord. I need to get it when it comes out on DVD, since I had a hard time hearing some of the dialogue in the theater, especially during fight scenes, and what I misheard left me confused. When the Necro guys were telling Yondu to surrender, I honestly thought the bad guy shouted 'All your men have turned on the Nova Corps'. But since they were still helping in later scenes, I was like 'yeah, heard that wrong'. And this was from about halfway back in the thread, but another poster mentioned that we'd never get the Super-Skrull in a Marvel movie. Anyone know why that is? I'm assuming somebody else has the rights (the studio that did those awful FF movies, maybe?). That's a bummer, because I liked him in all the cosmic story lines in the comics, like Annihilation (and I always pick him in Marvel Capcom 3).

The reason why they will never get super skrull is due to his character/powers being tied directly with the Fantastic Four.

I watched the first fifteen minutes of the movie during Labor Day. Completely filled with kids. And they were looooving it. The energy was insane. I think for a lot of them, it'll be a milestone.
