Stupid and awful

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2015)

If you took an infinite number of 12 year olds, threw them into a room with an equal number of typewriters, this is the script they'd come up with.
I can't believe anyone above pre-adolescence would praise this film on any level.
A massive CGI b-film with acting and dialogue to match, this movie is as high-budget as they come, but delivers junk food cinema to the pre-teen and adult with pre-teen tastes who thinks the latest Marvel-Disney offering is Oscar material.
No, the film was not too fast for me. Yes, I could follow the story in spite of the massive load of special effects. Yes, I knew who "Thanos" was from the Marvel pantheon of bad guys.
But, no, I did not think this was a good movie, and in fact thought it stunk to high heaven.
The plot was idiotic. The subplot was marginally interesting. The world in which the characters in habit is never fully explained, and the "Guardians" don't seem to have a lot of others of their species in this sci-fi setting.
Not only that, but the whole "destroy / conquer the universe" trope is just too stupid beyond belief. At some time you need to ask yourself why the bad guy is doing what they're doing. That's what makes them bad guys in the first place. When you don't have that, you don't have a movie.
I can't believe I wasted my time on this trash heap. At least I checked it out at the library, and didn't waste one red cent on it.
