Guardians of The Galaxy
Thanks Nuffnang and KLIPS for the premiere screening of Guardians Of The Galaxy!I won’t call myself a big superheroes fans.This is well-explained as I don’t know anything about ‘Guardians’.I only know it is from Marvel and it is something similar to Avenger/X-Men,which the guardians are trying to save the world. That’s it.Demanded to watch just because I watched the trailer once, think it is funny.
