Nothing overtly memorable here with the exception of the 80's soundtrack

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2017)

Call me old fashioned but I just didn't get the hype surrounding Guardians of the Galaxy. It took me several times to actually get through it and while I appreciate a good space adventure and fantasy movie it just didn't grab me like it grabbed a lot of people.
Praise to the artists who brought it to life and judging by the credits there were a lot of them but either it's the wrong time for me or I am just CGI'd out at this point. It took me out of the movie and with all the superhero movies hitting screens, this one just seemed pretty standard to me.
Some good action scenes, some funny characters and moments but nothing overtly memorable here with the exception of the 80's soundtrack. It's a popcorn movie - the cast did a good job with everything they had and that's all you can ask for. I just wasn't feeling it through Guardians of the Galaxy.
