There are many fans of James Gunn's film adaptation of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" (My Review) among them Iron Man Films star Robert Downey Jr. who praised the film while doing press prior to the Toronto International Film Festival
He told The Toronto Sun:
"Galaxy in some ways is the best Marvel movie ever. And
it's odd for someone with - on occasion - an ego the size of mine to
actually say that. We're talking about how the Iron Mans and the Thors and the Captain
Americas and the Avengers movies have afforded Marvel the opportunity to
essentially take what was a third-tier, minor, kind of upstart bit of
potential from one of their comic books series and say: 'Look!' It's like you have a great quarterback, and his brother plays for
another team, and then you say: 'Look, this is their second cousin and
we think he has a great arm and he should start.' And then he goes and
wins the Super Bowl."
Even acting legend and Godfather Trilogy star Al Pacino gave the flick high praise, telling Deadline:
"It was not something I would readily go see, but my kids
got me to go, and one has to draw the line at where prejudice starts
and where it ends — that was good stuff. I recognized the ingenious
stuff they were doing; the invention, the attractiveness of the way they
were performing it. It had Shakespearian feeling to it at times. I was
caught up in the big screen, the great sound."
So, would he do a Marvel movie if he were offered?
"I would do anything that I could understand in terms of
how I fit in it. And you know, of course if I could fit in it.
Anything's possible. You know, I did Dick Tracy
and I got an Oscar
nomination, so come on. I mean, what can I say?"
