Fun is the name...

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2014)

I've read a lot of comments about the movie as a whole, however I went to the theater without reading them first, since I wanted a fresh look on the movie and be surprised by it. I went with no expectations, except for the fact that some friends had recommended it and that it was a Marvel movie, who in the past years have released some of the best blockbusters to date. I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed.
The movie is a fun experience, full of great characters with a lot of charisma. Rocket Racoon and Groot were awesome in every scene they were in, and for me made for much of the movie great comedy and you couldn't get your eyes out of them. Chris Pratt, Batista and Zoe Saldana were also great in their roles, and though some times you felt some of the scenes a bit forced, the acting, the action and the plot let you pass over the minor faults. The easter eggs we are used to see in Marvel movies were also fun to watch and look for.
As for the plot itself, many people criticize it, however, it's like they were looking for the next Star Wars, or even 2001 Space Odissey, and this movie's plot is very simple and straightforward, so you can get involved in the inner turmoil of the characters without having to think too much about other things which would have taken so much of the fun. The actions scenes were great and well paced, and the special effects were top notch. I recommend going to this movie to have fun, to enjoy a good time, and to discover a whole other part of the marvel universe, which is certain to bring a lot of more colorful characters and awesome stories.
