Guardians of the galaxy it's not

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2020)

Wife: what you watching?
Me: 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Wife after 2 minutes: what a pile of s#1t this is.
Me: Not every movie should be like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Wife: Hate it when you get defensive, like I'm not intellectual or cultural enough.
Me: I just want to watch without you criticising it every 5 minutes.

I love this movie. Hugely influential and pioneering in special effects. Inspired George Lucas, David Bowie, etc. I think whether you will enjoy it depends on if you are patient and open minded enough to sit through long bouts of no dialogue and an unexpected ending which perplexes. My wife likes Adam Sandler and Dwayne Johnson movies, while I like Eraserhead which she still hasn't forgiven me for introducing her to. Hehe.
