Marvel Studios announced plans to develop a Guardians of the Galaxy film as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
James Gunn was officially signed on as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy.
Guardians of the Galaxy had its world premiere.
Guardians of the Galaxy was released widely in theaters, becoming a commercial success.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
