Great entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2014)

Finally I saw Guardians of the Galaxy couple hours ago. Does it lived up to all the hype around? Hardly... But it brought something unexpected. What I didn't liked... 1. I am not familiar with graphic novel, so my expectations were based on last Marvel or DC hits. I was looking forward for another semi-dark adaptation with pretty deep character development. None of this was in here. 2. Obviously, the movie was orientated to younger crowd and family segment, I wasn't aware about. So you what you get in here is non-complex writing (I was 50/50 annoyed and amused by this through out the flick) and recently so liberal PG style bloodless violence. The movie felt to me as a mix between Star Wars franchise and Fantastic 4, with no potential to grow his own sequels (well if it will choose to grow with his audience, that could bring it to a new level). Visuals were top notch. Pacing was great. I won't be judging acting on this one. All in all great entertainment for any age, but most suitable for a family night out. I would rate it at 8.5 if I could, but no chance it could deserve 9.
