Pay to win.

Rating: 3/10 (10 December 2014)

-Spoilers? Kinda-
Marvel, having spent the last fifteen years or so spitting out mediocre movies with an exception or two, are rolling in a significant amount of cash. Along with the island-sized money piles they already had from the comic book industry, they're more than capable of throwing however much money they need to make a film look great. Not only that, but ***THEY PAY PEOPLE TO GIVE THESE FILMS GOOD REVIEWS ON WEBSITES FOR PEOPLE TO BE FOOLED INTO WATCHING***. Guardians of the Galaxy is one of these.
However, it's looks do not transfer over to it's movie quality. If you don't have much patience for movies and don't mind noises and colors bashing your face for two hours, this is a movie for you. As for the rest of us, don't waste your two hours. The characters are bland, the comedy is mildly funny but at the wrong times in the movie, there's a blasphemous amount of bad acting (Apart from Bradley Cooper), and the plot line is just.. Awful. It's Cinema Shorthand for -Insert reason to make movie here-. Doing things that have been done before isn't a bad thing, but the whole movie acted like this was a brand new concept. I felt like I Was watching a Scary Movie # version of Thor the Dark World. Or any preceding movie with the same exact plot line.
Glaze over the good reviews, these are people paid to review the movie positively. Try a different one.
