Funny & Co.

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2014)

Despite all the high appraisal or hype for GotG, I never fully accepted it to be that great. Marvel has produced quite a few entertaining movies recently and I'd group this one closely together with Captain America 2 or Iron Man. Although it's not purely comedy or action, GotG combines these two genres beautifully making the entire watch entertaining.
The comedic scenes went along very well with this movie--funnily lifting spirits after dark(er) moments. Not expecting it to be dramatic, it was fairly deep (though easy to follow along). Not extremely thought-provoking but emotional.
GotG was a pleasant surprise for me. With previously subpar expectations, I will admit that I was either smiling, laughing or somewhat intrigued at any one frame in the movie.
A classic from Marvel that I greatly enjoyed.
