I really could care less about Marvel universe whatever, this is just a really creative and funny movie. Clearly, with a big budget and creative team, you can do just about anything visually, but this goes well beyond that to deliver outstanding comedic acting with great writing behind it. Well done!
... View MoreThis sci-fi masquerading as a superhero flick is the best film to come out of the MCU. It's laugh-out-loud funny on multiple occasions, it has a great cast of unique characters that are all played fantastically by the actors, and the story has a beating heart at its core. The film works so successfully because of the way in which alien characters (including a hybrid raccoon and a talking tree) are realistically portrayed and developed. Somehow the film manages to always feel human and something that we can relate to. On top of this, the action sequences are spectacular and, since we truly care about all of the key players, there isn't a disconnect between the audience and the CGI on display. Also, who could forget the film's fantastic 80s fuelled soundtrack that plays a large part in the story and the character development. The best thing about the film, however, is that it's an utter blast from start to finish, no matter how many times you have seen it. It's blockbuster filmmaking at its best. 9/10
... View MoreI gave it 8 points. It's the most beautiful superhero movie from Marvel. Of course, it's the most beautiful of these evils. Filmin's comedy was so beautiful. It had a more sincere structure. I like the characters too. Apart from that, the stereotype of "saving the world" has moved to a wider dimension. Filmin music was also beautiful. Groot is my favorite character.
... View MoreGuardians of the Galaxy is a mildly fun sci-fi adventure film, that has some heart but lacks a quality story and misses the mark quite a bit.In terms of characters, Peter Quill couldn't really command the screen on his own, Chris Pratt is fine but I don't think he had much to work with here. Gamora was pretty non existent to me, she is basically just used as a sound board, why Zoe Saldana I ask? Drax had me worried to begin with, but got better as it went on. Rocket and Groot, the cgi characters were the standout for me and there really is no film without these two characters, providing comedy and heart. Every secondary character in the film was terrible and just ate away at the enjoyment.I had some fun with it and liked the ending a bit, but there is so much wasted screen time and an empty story that as a whole it fails for me.Drax: Where did you learn to do that? Peter: I'm pretty sure the answer is: "I am Groot".
