With thousands of people seeing a sneak preview of 17 minutes of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy last night, it was inevitable that social media would be inundated with responses (it actually is still trending in a number of places).

Fans, as always, took to Twitter to deliver almost-completely-positive responses to the footage, except those unhappy it wasn't the whole movie.

Check out a sampling below

...but first, some slightly more in-depth words from Unemployed Skeletor and Lava-Roid creator Kevin Conn: 

I have a plan, it's not a full plan to talk about the sneak peek at GoTG, but it's a plan. Like, a 12% plan. Anyhee, I was lucky enough to attend a 17 minute preview of Guardians Monday night and I am SO GLAD I saw it! Non spoiler review: The one scene they showed had everything you've been hoping for while watching the trailers. It has action, comedy and heart. And may I say how I walked out convinced to not only see it in 3-D but IMAX as well! Seriously, it was the first film since Avatar that I felt looked amazing in both formats.

I AM SPOILERS!!!!

I mean it!

Spoilers of the Galaxy begin now:

We begin on a prison colony. You've seen some of the scene in the trailer. You get the background you need for every main character PLUS keep an eye out to see Thanos when they talk about Gamora. I have to say every character shines but Rocket and Groot WILL steal the show. I was hesitant when Bradley Cooper was cast but man, you can't even recognize him! They basically are prisoners, captured from the NOVA corps, Star Lord gets pissed at one of them when they start playing his Walkman, they shock him and then a small musical montage begins with the song playing on the Walkman "Hooked on a Feeling". They show Star Lord getting doused with orange liquid, and everyone else, then they change into prison uniforms and head into the main hall where all the criminals are. Troma fans keep an eye out for the very terrifying Lloyd Kaufman in that scene! The prisoners try to tell them they are in charge. But Groot and Rocket fix that attitude immediately.

Rocket begins to form a plan and asks everyone to grab one item each. Groot misunderstands and a hilarious yet bad bad ass prison fight breaks out. Rocket is not only tough, but also very smart. Even those who are worried about Chris Pratt or Dave Bautista can calm down, they BOTH are phenomenal in this preview as well. After they wrap that scene they show a new trailer which brought chills to me! The soundtrack will be amazing and in this new ad "Ch-ch-ch-cherry Bomb" is blasting during it!

Seriously I must stress to see this film. It looks like a (PG-13)family friendly film with tons of action inside and out! The space battle shots looked great as well. As I said right after watching this to a Marvel exec: "F--k yeah!" On August 1st, if you don't see GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY you're stupid! Groot, out!
