Movie relies heavily on one thing

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2015)

The extent to which you like this movie depends on how much you like the characters. The entire movie outside of that is mediocre at best. Villain is horrible.
Starlord starts this movie off as a general ladies man- and an douchebag.
Gamora is just some assassin for some evil dude you couldn't care less about.
Groot has one line and a few cool attacks, but other than that he's a total vegetable.
Rocket is an alcoholic and a money lover. Combine Mr. Krabs and Arrow's Laurel from season 2 (little toned down) and you get the picture.
All characters hold hand and make do one actual cool thing at the end, but that's all. Also Groot doesn't actually die. But let's be honest, who has died in the MCU?
