I am... Great?

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2014)

Opposed to others who have worshipped it or hated it down to their single cells, I really have no idea about how I feel about this movie. Probably because of my immensely limited knowledge about the Guardians themselves - which I presume is the case with most - I did not really have any hard feelings about anything that was left out or presented poorly, if I had known them correctly myself for that matter. No Gambits, no Deadpools, no Angels; yet no Quicksilvers also.
"Star-Lord, man? Legendary outlaw?"
First of all, it was too hardcore of a fantasy movie for me, which was also a problem for me at my first time with Thor: The Dark World. The spaceships and all the aliens with dozens of various colours did not strike me as truly professional work. Second of all, the final battle was not that appealing. Although it had many similarities with that of Captain America: The Winter Soldier's, it was too repetitive opposed to Rogers' being breathtakingly intense. Last but not least, despite it being hilarious, there was more potential in it. Come on, man, we're talking about a cliché-supposed-to-be-hot-yet-not guy, a supposed-to-be-deadly-but-not assassin, a WWE champion that does not get metaphors, a raccoon with anger issues, and a Whomping Willow. What could be funnier?
"You're an imbecile."
On the other hand, it was still a quite fun movie to start with. Rocket and Groot were great as expected, and Drax was dreadfully better than what I thought he would turn out to be. It was fast-paced and also slow time to time. The relationships between the characters were well handled, and the CGI was also satisfactory.
"No, that was a joke. These two are the only things that I need."
To sum it all up, there's pretty much loads going in my head. So I'll just say "I am Groot" and you get what I mean.
"Why you let him lick you like that for? Gross."
