Overrated and hyped - Slapstick humor vs Storyline

Rating: 4/10 (2 September 2014)

I just heard it should be a great film. Well, it wasn't. During the first 90 minutes i couldn't get rid of the feeling that Disney sent Marvel some people to make the film more about cheap humor and family action than a real superhero action film. A merely explained universe and situation and just in the end some action that fits the effort taken for the nice effects.
For me the first scene was OK, i hoped they would explain the personality of Peter Quill and his motivation. But you only get a plot hole of 26 years which is never filled. It is just a cut into nearly 90 minutes of cheap slapstick and mediocre action with nice effects. Too much time of the movie is just about bad jokes and slapstick comedy as well as 'action' scenes which were really disappointing for me. Far too late towards the end it got better and in fact really nice - just to end with again bad comedy scenes during the credits.
Afterwards when thinking about the film i had so many unanswered questions.. What is that treaty of peace they are talking about all the time? Why is this whole galaxy mostly about awkward colored people? How is the earth involved into this galaxy? What has Peter Quill to do with this Planet he saves? What is the motivation for Ronan? He is just evil, right?
They wasted too much time on bad and (for me) misplaced comedy instead of explaining more about the whole universe and how they got to this situation and in fact what the situation really is.. The best thing about this movie is the maybe great story to follow this when Peter finds out about his father and the bigger evils in this universe than Ronan..
