We saw Guardians of the Galaxy this morning and it was fantastic! I just had so much fun. It's exactly what the Marvel Universe needed - a movie that wasn't a sequel or spin-off, just one story, new characters, and lots of humor and heart.

I just have **one** thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars

Did anyone else notice how Gamora started out as a total badass and somehow got downgraded by the end? Like, Zoe Saldana's voice actually changed from being gruff and rough to suddenly weak and...I dunno, softer? This felt kind of cheap, like they felt we wouldn't believe Star-Lord had grown as a character if she didn't soften a little bit? It was odd. It happened at the start of the third act, after he rescued her from death by space. It's the scene where the Ravagers are holding the two of them and Gamora pleads for them to help save the universe. She PLEADS and uses a very weak voice, unlike her tone any other time in the movie.


I will totally add this to the collection once the blu-ray comes out. Rocket and Groot totally stole the show and I was fine with that. Laughed out loud several times. Inhaled my popcorn before it was halfway over.

Also might need to get the soundtrack because it was, in fact, awesome.

I felt the same way about Gamora's 'development'. Also the need for her to change her costume 3, 4 times?
