Can anyone please pull the plug on this one? The constant high ratings of Guardian of the Galaxy is such a hoax.

Rating: 5/10 (19 August 2014)

Although, seeing the trailer and from overall idea about comic series about Guardians of the Galaxy, I realised the film will not be worth watching. But the clowns here in the form of critics giving raving ratings to this franchise is just grossly misleading. I am from India and our film industry is undergoing serious "Rot" with mind numbingly moronic movies raking moolah on the box office motivating hack of the directors to continue their charades. Same pattern seem to be applying now to Hollywood as well.
Last over-hyped movie which almost dragged me to theater was latest CGI megamovie and before that, Godzilla redefined which got good ratings despite being a complete lowdown which I had to walk out post interval.
I went inside theater with heavy expectations on my head to watch Guardians of the Galaxy deemed by reviewers here as "One of the greatest superheroes movies of all time". Some of the reviewers went ahead and even compared it with Avengers and Dark Knight franchise. For those people, I must comment their shallow wisdom in movie nuances if they compare this franchise with the TDK trilogy. This film turned out to be a torrid dampener from 20 mins into the movie. Too much Sci-Fi, comedic scenes peppered in regular intervals, racoon turning out to be saving grace finally became the most stupid of the characters with Emotional Overdose about a tasteless tree character and a host of other flaws movie had.
One glimmer of light came in the film with cinematography when Quills saves Saldana in the space. Apart from that moment, rest was pretty predictable, clichéd, covered mostly in trailers so nothing surprising and overall a highly childish drama on the lines of Frozen which it seems has been rated on IMDb mostly by toddlers. An 8.5+ ranking for such films is ridiculously hilarious and a trap zone for wasting time on riding high expectations.
