Average with few funny moments

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2014)

I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy as I had to see for myself what the big fuss about this movie was. I'm not a comic book fan and do not have any background idea about the characters before, however super hero movies are one of my favorite genres to watch.
Let's start with the positives: - Chris Pratt was amazing in the lead role: charismatic, funny, and a joy to watch. - Amazing music and soundtrack during and after the film. - Good CGI
Now for the negatives: - Not much of a story and zero character development. You have the feeling that the characters just want to be friends and they come off as needy. - Too much action is happening all around that it becomes a mess, similar to the transformers movies. - The villain Ronan is so boring and predictable. They need a great villain like Loki from Thor. - Drax and Gamora are disappointments in the film. They don't seem like a big deal and Drax sends most of the time getting his ass kicked instead of being a destroyer.
Overall I give the movie a 6 over 10. Don't expect too much and just enjoy the ride. It's watchable but definitely not as good as the reviews you will see on this site.
