The Wittiest Superhero Movie Ever (Up Till Now)

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2014)

I just watched this movie out of curiosity: How on earth a movie of 'peasant' superhero can outscore the 'elite' of 2014 like Captain America and X-Men in IMDb? I can figure it out quite clearly after watching it. In my opinion, which is hopefully humble, Guardians of the Galaxy is the wittiest superhero movie we have so far. It even surpasses RD Jr's flamboyant Stark, again in my opinion, so it really means something.
The plot is standard and predictable, nothing special. I don't even have to throw any spoilers to give you a rough idea. You have intertwined groups of similar interest fighting, and as usual we have the "good" ones and the "evil" ones. Following the current trend, the "good" ones are not the angelic heart-good, but crooked- good.
The characters are also not anything we never saw before. We have the main guy, the lady partner, the joker, the muscle, and the loyal. I am pretty sure the rodent/raccoon bounty hunter, Rocket, would be at the top in the list of favorite characters. He reminds me of Donkey in Shrek: loud, cynical, and obviously witty.
The special effects are decently cool, but again, we have seen it often in previous superhero movies.
What I found as the strength of this movie is the humor. It blends nicely into the characters. I had two hours of good laugh watching this movie. It is refreshing, since typical superhero movies tends to be too melodramatic and put humor just as filler. The humor is so good, that even the sad scenes feel humorous. You can even use it to distinct it from other superhero movies. Instead of blabbering the forgettable title, "Guardians of the Galaxy," we can refer to it simply as 'that witty superhero movie.'
In conclusion, it is a fun movie to watch. If you expect a mind- boggling superhero movie, this is not for you. If you are into movies with breathtaking special effect, you may become a little disappointed. But, if you want to watch a superhero movie full of laugh and not another tragic superhero story, please consider this above other options. You won't be inspired by it, it will likely be forgettable, but you won't regret watching it.
