Marvel do good again

Rating-7/10
Guardians of the Galaxy is a Marvel made film that boasts a lot of differences from other movies that they make. The main point to this is that it is humorous and it can feel at times this is one big action comedy, well actually maybe it is that. It has good action too and the fights seen are good, well spread and the movie doesn't have too much of the same thing, I do feel this is overrated for me but I will come to my reasons later, I did find it to be a good film though and here below is why.
I found the plot a little confusing and the characters especially the villains in this, unnecessary. Now I mean I got the plot and it isn't bad, it has it's excitement and all but what I felt is that the villains are so in depth and serious about all this, where as there are only brief moments when the heroes seem serious, didn't work well for me that. Having said that the plot does conjure up some good action scenes and some truly crazy special effects that push the boundaries of effects.
I liked Chris Pratt as Peter and he manages to blend comedy and emotion into his role and comes out impressive enough to hold the main role. All the cast are funny, no one ruins the party and even the voice acting of Bradley Cooper(Rocket) and Vin Diesel(Groot) make some scenes much more fun and again, emotional. The film goes kind of crazy casting people, some actors like Glenn Close aren't seen much but provide a welcome sight in such an effects driven film.
James Gunn is the man behind the helm here and he directs very well and could be the main force for why this is good, many will point to Pratt etc but Gunn manages to get the ball rolling and rolling fast. He and others write the script too and that again provides the laughs, brilliantly acted out by the cast but also very well written too and the choice of music by whomever it was, it very nicely done too.
Now to why I felt it is overrated, now don't get me wrong I watched It and look back on it thinking "yeah that was good", but great?, for me the answer is no. It just isn't clinically excellent and you may even come out of this with effects sickness, the film is a big jumble of a film and I do feel some people are won over by the jokes rather than the poor plot and those awful villains, and I know where talking about a comic book film here but seriously, I just couldn't take them seriously.
You know this film has odd bits of the beautiful, Groot the large tree like character is so lovable and if you haven't seen this, he could quickly become your favourite after watching. The music and the effects can create a strange experience as when they're flying through space, the 70's soundtrack and massive effects create a kind of trippy experience.
Overall it is a fine Marvel film though and yet again they have dispensed Sci-fi that is tip-top and to be remembered too. It isn't for me one of the best Marvel films, or maybe it is I am not quite sure on that, they seem to bring so many out it can sometimes get lost a film by them, but this I feel will not be lost. I would recommend this to anyone, a fun film full of lots of well fun things, the sequel I look forward too as of the time of writing this it has not come out but I hope it is as funny and kind of weirdly sweet as this one.
