Fun, but too long

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 2014)

Guardians of the Galaxy is a fun science fiction comedy with an interesting cast of characters and great acting. The CIG is also very good for CGI. The film moves at a fast pace but the story is a bit muddled at times. It becomes a bit lost in itself.
The comedy bits are great and the timing couldn't be better however, the film becomes a bit wearying after the hour and a half mark. During the last 30 minutes all I could think of is I want to get off this ride now, I'm finished. It was like being stuck on a carnival ride and knowing you were ready to for it to end.
All in all it is very entertaining if a bit tongue in cheek. All of the actors did a great job and there are truly some unique characters here, especially the tree/humanoid who is wise but has a limited vocabulary.
Fun for sure but just too long.
