SYNOPSIS:
Starlord (Chris Pratt) and a group of misfits get together to ensure Ronan (Lee apace) doesn't get his hands on the powerful orb.
REVIEW:
If you know me, then you know by me calling this the "Star Wars" of the MCU doesn't have the greatest connotation. I am slightly biased as I'm not really a fan of fantasy films (more so meaning different worlds and non-human looking characters) and I'm not a big fan of movies set in space. With that being said, I don't hate the film. I know so many people have this in their top 5, but for me it's a lower half film. Although, I do love Chris Pratt, I think there's a few moments where his acting really missed. This occurs over the course of the MCU films that he appears on. There are simply a lot of space fighting scenes that I just get bored by and the strong point for me is the scene in the prison and the soundtrack. I also find Nebula's character extremely corny. Far too intense for my liking and whenever they try to give her a comedic line it falls so incredibly flat for me. It hurts for me to say that cause I love Karen Gillian. I'm also not a big fan of Rocket. It's hard for me to be critical to his character since I feel it's just a taste thing for me. I don't find him funny and I'm not ever waiting for him to be on screen. Again, I love Bradley Cooper though. A couple things I do enjoy are Drax, Groot, Starlord (for the most part) and as I mentioned earlier the prison scene and the soundtrack.
I know it sounds like I hate this film based off the review I just made, but honestly, I'm right in the middle. I don't really care to see it again, but I know I probably will some day and I'm at peace with that. 6.0/10.
