i believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion when it comes to movies. after all movies are art and art is by its very nature subjective. but...if you didn't like this movie, your dead inside. this is by far my favorite Marvel movie to date, besides maybe Avengers. i'm not saying its better, i just happen to like it more then the other Marvel movies. it was funny, entertaining the visuals were stunning and the characters were extremely likable. if you have a chance to see it in 3D, do so. i am not a fan of 3D movies but this movies was made to be seen in 3D. the story revolves around 4 very different characters; starlord, a pirate/thief of sorts with a good heart but that ultimately has had only himself to look out for. Gamora, the green skinned assassin and daughter to the mad titan Thanos, whom she betrays; Drax the destroyer, a brute psychopath who wants revenge for the death of his wife and daughter in the hands of Ronan the Accuser; Rocket Raccoon, a psychopathic talking raccoon with sever anger issues and my favorite Groot, a giant tree who is Rockets bodyguard and companion who's entire vocabulary consists of "i...am....groot" in that order. together these 4 highly questionable and slightly disturbed individuals have to find a way to work together despite there differences in order to save the universe from a powerful,and i mean powerful , being known as Ronan the Accuser; a maniacal zealot who serves as judge, jury and specially executioner of whole planets and civilizations. throughout the story you are treated to the mythology and history of this new universe giving you glimpses of the mundane everyday "extraterrestrial" to the near god like celestial beings that exist or existed within the universe. in the end what gave this movie its charm was its humor, which i really enjoyed, i couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire movie...i literally smiled the whole way threw. this is good for the whole family despite the occasional curse word and sexual innuendo but besides that the movie was a very fun and delightful watch. highly recommend it
