So Marvel made a comedy

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2014)

The best word to describe Guardians of the Galaxy is entertaining. Not overwhelmingly so, but it had some really good moments. I understand that the current hype surrounding Marvel movies has lead to inflated reviews, but don't be fooled. This is just a recycling of the same effects, costumes, jokes, and thin plot lines from the previous movies. This can not really be called a superhero movie, so much as a comedy. Every other line was a joke, usually a cheesy one liner, and it was filled with that typical Marvel humor. You know, characters get in a big fight, they knock out the bad guy, everyone is breathing heavily and the room is quiet, and then one character says something cheesy and the whole audience laughs. They hit the ball out of the park on a few jokes, but I managed to stay pretty straight faced for most of the film. I understand the love for superheroes that currently exists, but this movie was nothing more than a very average feel good comedy.
