I agree. I think he was much better than Momoa would have been.

I thought Bautista was fantastic as Drax. He can deliver those ridiculous deadpan lines with all seriousness.

I loved drax in the film.

I thought Bautista did a very good job- better than I would have guessed off the top of my head given his limited film roles.

As for anyone complaining about him or his performance, that's got to be a VERY vocal and infinitesimal minority.

I mean, really, how many people were major followers in comparison to the masses of people who saw it and either had no familiarity with the characters, or, at best, a vague recognition of their place within the Marvel universe?

So, seriously it's a bit hard to get critical of his portrayal of a character 99% of the people going into the movie had zero frame of reference to judge against it.

There was some nay-saying when Bautista was cast, but as far as I've seen the reaction to the actual performance has been unanimously positive.

Fitting that this got bumped just now. I am watching this movie for the first time on my other monitor. Really much better than I expected. Very good movie. Especially considering I know nothing about the IP.

This may have been covered in this thread, but how the **** are they just goin out in space with just like clothes and bare hands and faces and not dying? Am I missing something or is it just a suspension of disbelief thing?

It's a turn your brain off thing.

Nice. Grabbed it.

You can live in space for a short period of time without dying. You don't really expand and some of the other stuff you see in some movies. If picked up fast enough things generally return back to normal at normal pressure for people exposed to a near vacuum environment.

Best not to think about it. Kind of like the question of how Thanos stays busy.

Same way he was able to hold the gem without going full mouse in a microwave...

Saw this with my wife. Loved it. I am at the point that I will watch anything James Gunn writes. I love his humor.
