Relax and enjoy

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2014)

Too many of you guys are going to movies having been hyped up by the IMDb rating number, then reacting negatively when the film doesn't match the aforesaid rating.
Guardians was amusing and beautiful in parts, and derivative and functional in others. The diamond thingamajig is just like the tesseract thingamajig from the Avengers and thousands of other movies, and that factor is becoming a bit tiresome.
I did see however in the big tattooed galoot and in the tremendous space vistas the potential to finally make Bester's "The Stars my Destination". With Tom Hardy playing the lead role. Now that would be a proper movie.
Just relax and watch Guardians for what it is, throwaway fantasy popcorn. Then days later you will find yourself uttering - I AM GROOT! 7/10
