Fun movie but The Avengers was better

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2014)

From the casting, writing, directing, cgi, sound and adaptation from the comics this was a wonderful movie. It would have been nice to know a bit more about the villains and Nova Corps however. I can't wait to find out more about Star Lord's father and what this new team will be doing next. The jokes made us laugh, the action was intense and satisfying and I think I felt teary once or twice, but no strong emotion left with me from the theater as it did after watching The Avengers; Captain America, the Winter Soldier; and Thor, the Dark World. Well, actually I did have one lasting emotional response, after seeing the scene following the final credits. I felt a resounding "NOOOOOOOOOO!" in my brain because I saw the first one. Please Marvel - don't go there! Any of us who saw the first one won't even be tempted to view another. July 2016 add: I was referring to a return of "Howard, the Duck" which I saw in the theater in 1986. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.
