The punisher has the same superpower as all the 80's action heros, dodge all the bullets till the end of the movie. Catch one or two for the dramatic ending.

Mr. Rac is interested in this one...
If you go into it just expecting to have fun then you will like it. The good thing is this movie doesn't pretend to be anything other than an adventure with interesting, funny characters. That's its charm and why it has been so successful. (Groot is hilarious btw.)
But if you want something "deeper" you can always pick up SGU on DVD.

OMG, this was a great movie! So much fun, I was grinning through the entire movie. PERFECT. 
Im just now seeing it for the first time (at home). I got an excellent BluRay quality copy, and it sounds and looks awesome. What great action, a good story, good characters, lots of humor and great special effects. Perfect popcorn movie.

Bout time dude.
Welcome to the club! THIS was the best picture of 2014!
I did a longer review somewhere upthread, but basically it is impressive. The SFX are really well done with a lot of practical effects instead of CGI (the Kyln for example is a physical set), sound story and a slightly twisted sense of humor all set the stage for excellently realized characters both good guys and villains. What's really impressive is James Gunn (Writer/Director) actually gets us to care about these characters. Guardians is his first "big movie" but his previous films (a couple of independent films titled Slither and Super) displayed a lot of the same characteristics.
And, of course, there is that soundtrack! The whole thing is set to a well chosen set of 70s and 80s music that actually is worked into the plot and is part of understanding the character of Peter Quill.
Referring to another thread, watching something like this in comparison to Star Trek Into Darkness makes Star Trek Into Darkness look REALLY bad. This cost less to make, looks better and is so much better a movie it isn't funny.

This movie I could watch over and over, and I could watch dozens of movies with these characters.
NOW I know why you chose your avatar, and why the baby groot was in the movie (at the end). I thought Zoe Saldana did way better as a green chick in this movie than she did in anything I have seen her in except maybe Avatar/ But I dont count that because she was CGI as a Na'vi.The main thing about this movie I love is that it does not try to take itself so seriously.
This was interesting. After the snubs on comic films and apparently derisive remarks about them made at the Oscars and the Spirit awards, James Gunn made his own statement:

A touch snarky at the start (typical Gunn) but his point is well made.
