Why "Guardians of the Galaxy" is my most anticipated film of this summer

I have been looking forward to this film ever since the announcement was made, despite knowing nothing about these characters and never reading a comic book with them. Here are the five main reasons that I am looking forward to this movie. 

1) This movie looks REALLY weird. I love Marvel movies, but recently they have sort of developed a formula that they follow almost every time. This looks like a huge departure for them, and it's giving us something fresh. How awesome is a talking racoon voiced by Bradley Cooper and a walking tree? The movie just looks like some great sci-fi. 

2) As I mentioned, I don't know a thing about this property. This means that if I like the movie I might actually get into these characters, find out more about them, and perhaps even read some "Guardians of the Galaxy." I bet that comic sales for this superhero team are going to rise greatly after the release of the film, and I can't wait to get familiar with them. As I mentioned before, they just look really weird and awesome. 

3) This seems like a really fun popcorn flick. I love these types of movies. A summer blockbuster where you just come into the theatre, eat tons of junk food, drink a slushy, and enjoy the crap out of it. The trailer looks really amusing, and funny. This seems like one of Marvel's lighter films, and I can't wait to see that. If done right, this might be marvel's most entertaining movie to date. 

4) If "Guardians of the Galaxy" makes a lot of money, it opens up a whole new doorway for weirder superhero movies. I am not only talking about Marvel superheroes, but also ones from DC. I would love to see more lesser known heroes on the big screen, and this movie can serve as a great gateway. The property is not very known, so this will prove that movies don't have to have huge built in fan bases to do really well. So far the closest thing to outer space we have seen was Thor, which was still kind of grounded and took place on earth. If this film is successful, Marvel has the whole cosmos to explore which is going to be awesome. 

5) I can't wait to find out more about the "infinity gauntlet" and see what role it plays in the Marvel cinematic universe. It has been hinted upon in the Thor movies, but we do not yet have a clear understanding of how it is going to be used. I feel like this movie might explain that, and set the path for movies down the line.
