Fun, initially, but clichéd final act

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2014)

Now, I'm coming at this from the perspective of a geek that had yet to be introduced to this series. Only Rocket Raccoon had I run across beforehand, and that was as a cameo to some other comic. As such, if this is completely loyal to the source material, good on 'em, but they still fell short in the storytelling. It began strong, even if the blue daughter of Thanos was rather spastic in her acting, hammy even. Then the inevitable romance blossomed, which began its decline into clichéd plot lines. Yet I would have possibly given it an 8 or 9 had they found another way to build the suspense outside of the over over overused final battle aside with the women facing each other. It's a sad state of affairs that I got more entertainment out of Xena Warrior Princess's cheesy gender blind battles than this. Best things I can say for this is that the 3D was well done and some of the comedy wasn't too silly or slapstick.
