Let’s hope Guardians of the Galaxy breaks the usual “long trailer” rule

July 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

Have you heard of this rule – “the longer the trailer – the worse the movie”? I have. Sad to say that it often holds true. I remain a huge fan of all the Guardians of the Galaxy trailers but I’m beginning to wonder at the tactics. Why so many long clips? One theory is […]

Superhero Week: “I am Groot” t-shirt

June 30, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m liking this t-shirt from Etsy Store Hey That’s Super. It reads; I am Groot! That’s a superhero joke geeks will get today and the rest of the word will get when Guardians of the Galaxy reach the cinemas in August. Tempted? Buy it here. This week any post with “Superhero Week” in the title […]

New scenes in the UK Guardians of the Galaxy trailer

June 17, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You can tell this is the UK Guardians of the Galaxy trailer because it refers to the Avengers movie as the Avengers Assemble movie. That’s right, the smash hit had a different name in the UK just in case it was mistaken for Mr Steed and Emma Peel. This is the second UK trailer to […]

Second Guardians of the Galaxy trailer ramps it up a notch

May 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is the second trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy and I think it is shaping up rather well. We get to see a little more of the characters, enough to form some opinions of them. Groot, I think, is very different from what I remember. Rocket seems fun. The aerial combat scenes in particular […]

Guardians of the Galaxy character videos: Groot & Rocket

February 20, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Marvel have just uploaded two character trailers for Guardians of the Galaxy. There’s little snippets. We do get to hear Rocket speak. What do you think? Have these teasing slice of Guardians of the Galaxy edged your towards or against the movie?

The full Guardians of the Galaxy trailer

February 19, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTZ2Tp9yXyM This isn’t the 20 second teaser that was released yesterday. The full Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was shown during Jimmy Kimmel Live and comes in at an impressive 2m30s. Let’s hope it doesn’t follow the rule of “the longer the trailer – the weaker the film”. A quick look at my Facebook feed […]

First official Guardians of the Galaxy photo

January 1, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Marvel have released the first official photo from Guardians of the Galaxy. I suppose this counts as “first” given that we had a teaser clip (probably) relating to Guardians of the Galaxy at the end of Thor: The Dark World. The picture shows enigmatic Gamora, then Peter Quill outside his Star-Lord uniform, Rocket Raccoon, Drax […]

Marvel release Guardians of the Galaxy poster

July 21, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Concept art for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie has been released by Marvel. There’s a faint blur that covers the “Nova Corp” text but it seems unlikely Marvel were actually trying to hide that. Marvel haven’t confirmed but from left to right the heroes are; Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Star-Lord, Groot and Rocket Raccoon. […]
