Very good

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2014)

Let me first say that this movie is rather over-hyped, rather overrated. I've read things like "most epic world building since Star Wars," and other things of that nature. This is not some sort of groundbreaking film. It is not a masterpiece of cinema. What it is, is a very good movie. A great popcorn flick. Visuals are outstanding for the most part.
Starlord as the main character is the typical lost boy who is finding himself throughout the movie. Zoe Saldana is great, as always, the love interest. Some of the humor falls a bit flat, but most of it is reasonably funny. Christ Pratt, again, is overrated here. He is good, but I get the feeling that after all the goodwill he built up in Parks and Rec, people would have said he was the greatest lead ever, no matter the movie. I'm not sure he really does serious very well, but he will only get better with time.
Overall it's a great flick to see before the summer ends. Absolutely worth it, just don't try to take it seriously.
