Grossly overrated

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2014)

I'm really confused at the glowing reviews of this movie. Dull characters. Dull story. Just dumb. I practically fell asleep. Considering I'm a huge fan of James Gunn since his Troma writing days (and to show I'm a fan, anyone else notice Lloyd Kaufmann's cameo?). This one almost put me to sleep. And for those who've claimed it was laugh out loud funny and the audience was behind it 100%...a few chuckles here and there, but the audience I saw it with, walked away confused.
There is going to come to light that the majority of the reviewers were paid sponsors of this movie. Something fishy about it all.
Anyways, Chris Pratt is good in the role. He is pretty good at playing the 80's character turned into the future, and still retains a 80's face. Rocket (voiced by Brad Cooper) is funny when he needs to be, but is a one-trick-one-line pony. Groot and Zoe Saldana's character are cardboard. Boring stupid forced Shakespearean relationship between sisters. And blah blah blah. Dull is the word. I'm honestly shocked so many people glowed about it. Something is clearly not right.
