Having zero emotional investment in TMNT, I found the trailer amusing.
It seemed like a nice tweak at the pomposity of the Dark Knight trilogy.
Wait, The Dark Knight Trilogy was pompous?! It's no Man of Steel, but...
M
Even the guy who asked "Why So Serious?" was too damned serious.
Not sure if you bought the Dark Knight Trilogy Ultimate Edition, but apparently, Nolan filmed an alternate scene where Blake confronts Bruce in TDKR. With the backlash from Spider-man 3, and the definite different tone the scene would've set, I see why Nolan didn't use it.
Its weird that Bruce's moves are the same ones I used to get my wife back in 2006!!
M
I missed this earlier, but I laughed SO HARD at the prospect of ME buying the Ultimate Dark Knight Trilogy Collection that I think I may have injured myself.
b-(
I know, I injury myself from laughter everytime people take umbrage with me about my dislike of the dancing & over the top goofball moments in GotG!
M
I don't take umbrage.
I just feel sorry for you.
Glad to know there's some laughter in your life, and pleased to know I help keep it there.

Its all in the context of usage. If its goofball heroism with John Winger or Fletch, I'm game.

John Winger and Fletch would have been among Peter Quill's role models.
He was a nerdy 10-year-old in 1988. He would have watched the hell out of those movies.
As I've said, context. In the context of a comedy it works. In an established movie universe that doesn't have it, I'm not a fan. It wasn't appealing to me in Green Lantern or Green Hornet, either.

They must show different versions of the movies up there in Mattlandia.
All the Marvel movies I've watched have been funny. This one has just been the funniest.

As I've told people on a DC forum; Marvel isn't making comedies, just lighter tone movies. Are there quips & lighter moments in the stories, yup. The 8 other movies remind me of the Indiana Jones movies; action & adventure with lighter moments. I don't describe those as "funny" either.
Are all the other 8 movies in strung together with comedic moments like GotG? Nope. As Winter Soldier took 2 steps darker, GotG took 2 steps lighter.

That's how you dance!
A couple steps one way, and a couple steps back the other way.

It's fun! You should try it some time.
I've heard the same about recreational drugs...but I pass on those too.
Absolutely, after all, 1 out of 5 critics have said it was marginally entertaining and not remarkably awful. To me, that means young kids and die-hard TMNT fans should like it. if I show up at someone's house and they are watching it, I'd definitely watch it for a few minutes before drawing any further conclusions.

If its a dance off in a comedy...
I'm game.
GotG just didn't jive with the same tone as the other Marvel Studio movies. The route they took just didn't appeal to me in the context.
