What we got was essentially the trailer you already saw, but with the opening sequence of it expanded a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>While MTV is trying to play the new footage up as being like <strong>Raiders of the Lost Ark <\/strong>(which others have<a href=\"http:\/\/collider.com\/guardians-of-the-galaxy-clip\/\"> parroted<\/a>), outside of both protagonists stealing something off a pedestal, there isn&#8217;t much similarity between the two. The added footage gives us a look at Star-Lord&#8217;s boot rockets and mask (which were already on display during last year&#8217;s San Diego Comic Con), put on display during the character&#8217;s goofy escape from Korath (Djimon Hounsou). Then there is some footage of Star-Lord leaping across an alien landscape, then the rest of the trailer hits.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/media.mtvnservices.com\/embed\/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:1027930\/cp~series%3D3159%26id%3D1725371%26vid%3D1027930%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A1027930\" height=\"309\" width=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is all well and good, but we still have no idea what the film is about. The GotG trailer ran before <strong>Captain America: The Winter Soldier<\/strong>. Joining it was the trailer for <strong>Lucy<\/strong>, the new Scarlett Johannson film which will arrive in theaters a week after GotG. That trailer told you enough about what was going on (ScarJo play an unwilling drug mule who gets superpowers when the experimental drug leaks into her system) that you can make a judgement about the film. The GotG trailer is basically exposition about the team members, a few random action scenes and explosions, and tells you nothing about the story. Is there a reason why Marvel is keeping it a secret?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, <strong>Guardians of the Galaxy <\/strong>opens up on August 1, 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">I&#8217;ve seen RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
