Not terrible, but extremely overrated.

Rating: 8/10 (25 September 2014)

I can understand why so many people watched this film since it is a big budget Marvel film. But I really don't understand why everyone thinks this was so great. The plot lacked complexity; the whole plot seemed to be about a few freaks teaming up for almost no reason and then fighting the much stronger villain. The characters were pretty bland and boring, well, except maybe Rocket. I usually like Marvel movies but I was quite disappointed by this one. On a more positive note, the there were some pretty funny moments, and some pretty great special effects. Acting was decent. Overall, this movie is definitely not as good as other superhero films such as The Dark Knight or The Avengers, but sure as heck is not as terrible as Howard the Duck or Catwoman. If they do make a sequel, I hope it improves on the mistakes of this film. I would only recommend this to true Marvel fans, but if you are a more casual audience, I honestly can't recommend it to you.
