Well, it’s good to see, the trailer for Marvel’s latest offering, Guardians of the Galaxy, doesn’t follow the standard formula for action trailers. Instead of inundating the screen with explosion after explosion, the five so-called “Guardians” — Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer — are introduced by their rap sheets…
