You mean as in "today"?

Yes as a matter of fact. I just finished watching Spongebob the movie. Similar quality.

>>71822438
A New Hope imo has the best opening scene. Imagine seeing that in 77 on the big screen, John William's score blasting as the massive Star Destroyer looms overhead chasing the Tantive V.

It's good but it's no The Pest

It definitely is a good intro, but there are better ones, even in capeshit.

Watchmen has a better intro

Its not the opening scene, its the opening credits, the opening scene is in the hospital with his mother on her death bed.

not sure how selling the movie to to the audience from start works well. felt like avon ad on tv... maybe i am missing something.
maybe a coffee and cigarette-este start might have been better.
gtog feels cheap from the start.
treated it as such... would not gotg again. nor %%2
...at least it is not a groot-Tree though, would not sw8 treee amirite?
>>
>>71822438
honestly GotG's opening scene was one of the things that I had the biggest problem with, and part of why I couldn't stand the movie when I saw it (the other big part was seeing it at a convention with 1000 screaming nerds everywhere).

It goes from an emotional scene of his mom dying from cancer, to him abducted by aliens, to him dancing around without a care, in the span of 1 minute. GotG's tone was all over the place, jumping from light-hearted space adventure to super serious character death or attempted genocide shit, and the opening was the worst when it came to that
>>
>>71825449

Uh he kind of had about 20+ years to deal with his moms death its not like he was dancing out of the hospital.

I really liked GOTG but there are so many films with better opening scenes. Reservoir Dogs, Halloween, Jaws, Star Wars, Trainspotting, saving private Ryan, so many more

Weird how in the first scene he's telling dying mom he was stopping other boys from torturing frogs or whatever and then in the next scene he's torturing space frogs as seen in OP's pic.
>>
>>71825851
I can't believe i have to type this out on a board where people supposedly enjoy movies and understand them

It doesn't matter that the character had 20 years to deal with his mom's death. The problem is that we don't FEEL that because the tone is so wildly different in such a short span of time.

Comedian's death was technically the opening scene to that movie, which is also better than the OP's.
