I so wanted to love this movie but...

Rating: 1/10 (14 November 2014)

After watching this movie I wanted to give this movie a 1 star rating but it does have its merits.
The Pros: - Good visual effects - Good production design - The relationship between 'Groot' and 'Rocket' is amusing - Possibly iconic characters - Good ideas and well-established universe which makes me excited for, hopefully, better sequels. - Great soundtrack!
The Cons: - I'm sorry but this film was nowhere near as funny as I thought it would be which is a shame because I felt like I was forcing myself to what I guess you could call a laugh but more of a 'tsss' noise. - Terribly fast-paced. - Visually unpleasing at some points like for example at the beginning of the movie where Star Lord's mum dies (which by the way is one of the worst scenes in the movie as it doesn't set the tone of the movie at all and it's poorly executed in everyway). - Really bad acting from Bautista and Saldana as Drax and Gamora which was really disappointing as they failed to deliver any funny lines. - Boring action and final battle. - Bland villain - Some bad make-up jobs - Stupid and goofy characters (not talking about main characters) - Rocket and Groot were nowhere near as good as they could have been
I don't recommend this watch but everyone else seems to think this movie is amazing and so does IMDb so maybe you should give it a try.
