Surpassed Expectations

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2016)

I was not sure about watching the movie after seeing the trailer. I certainly didn't like obscure characters like Groot. I watched the movie only to know about the purple infinity stone. But the movie was actually quite good and enjoyable. James Gunn really pulled off an unbelievable task by turning an almost unknown comic edition into an amazing movie.The humor of the movie is excellent but at the same time does not try too hard for it like Iron Man 2. Also it beautifully lays the foundations for future Marvel projects without much friction like the Avengers : Age of Ultron. Worth a watch even if you are not a big marvel fan or do not follow it much.
