Pretty much what I expected

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2014)

When I first saw the trailer for this movie and heard the music attached to it, I told myself;"This better not be in the movie". Unfortunately it was, as well as many more songs from the 70's.
Although I do understand the reason for this (Peter Quill's sole attachment to Earth and to his mother), this music was totally inappropriate for the movie we were watching. And what about all that dancing? Didn't they learn from Spiderman 3?
Putting that aside, why did all the aliens living thousands of light years away, speak with an Earth vernacular?
I was looking forward to seeing Xandar, the world of the Nova Centurions, but it was a let down. The Nova Corp did not look very formidable.
And what about the Collector? He's supposed to be an Elder of the Universe, a cosmic being of immense power, and he just lets his place get thrashed.
No, this movie was a great disappointment. I'm a big fan of Marvel Comics but I was expecting a great film, not a comedy.
