Good CGI, dull story, flat characters and acting. Not a marvel fan, though.

Rating: 5/10 (25 August 2014)

I'm no fan of marvel or comics, but I went to see this at full IMAX 3D because I heard people calling it this generation's Star Wars (of which I am a fan). They're totally wrong, IMHO. With such high expectations I was severely disappointed.
I am a fan of / sucker for CGI (I loved Avatar despite it having IMHO a pathetic story), and Guardians' CGI was pretty good (albeit lacking on the biological side), which is why I gave this 5 instead of say 3.
Basically, it has all the usual marvel flaws - universes that make no sense or have little explanation, mostly one dimensional characters, acting that even I find either wooden or over-dramatic (although it doesn't bother me that much), and a story that is very straightforward.
IMHO, comics aren't made for movies, and they usually suffer for it. Time to come up with something completely original. (Well, I guess marvel is kinda required to not do that, oh well).
