Boredom

Rating: 1/10 (2 September 2014)

The trailer looked incredibly stupid but I went anyway for the positive reviews. For the duration I couldn't shake the fact that everything I was seeing I had already seen many times before and that this film had nothing new to offer. GOTG lacks an ounce of anything it can call its own and so succeeds almost purely on sentimentality for the 80s (from which it took most of the scenes). Mid showing I walked out to make a phone call. I almost walked back in to finish the film but decided that nothing in the second half could justify the lack of story, character, wit, or creativity that the first half utterly lacked. Fortunately I saw it alone so I didn't have to deal with the social pressure to stay. If you see this, then I would recommend the early matinée discount.
