The Most Overrated Movie in Existence

Rating: 1/10 (16 April 2015)

I am only giving this film a one because I want the movie's score to be much much lower even if it takes an army to lower it.
Where do I even begin with this? When I saw the trailer for this movie, it looked amazing! A guy from the 80's, A Green Alien, some weird alien looking for vengeance, a tree whose vocab is limited to three words and a raccoon, his best friend fight evil with an amazing soundtrack in the background? THAT SOUNDED AWESOME! So I rushed to the theater when I got a chance to when it got released. It sucked.
OK. Well, It didn't suck, but it was not really good.
This must be the most overrated movie in existence. I mean people talk about the such amazing chemistry these characters have. WHAT?! All They Do Is Argue And Cry for An Hour and a Half at each other! They don't get along until the very end when they stop the villain who himself isn't memorable. The only one I cared about out of any of these unlikable idiots was the raccoon, Rocket who had the persona of Al Capone Meets Jean Claude Van Damme. He had a few interesting lines but still didn't leave me wanting more of him.
People talk about how funny this movie is, I don't think I laughed once. At all. If this is suppose to be a superhero comedy film, then it should be oh whats the word... FUNNY! I felt like I was watching a terrible parody.
Also you know what people talk about? The Action. How amazing the action was. Excuse me, the last quarter was just non stop action and violence with no purpose but to be filler. If I cared about the characters which I don't then I don't care about the action!
Even the story is bad, Star Lord or whatever his name is finds that his mom dies, runs away and gets abducted by aliens. Then out of nowhere years later, he just becomes a ravager. You are not going to show him being trained or bonding with these aliens? It would have been cool to show who these people were! But no, we just get a stupid dance scene that is not amusing during the opening credits.
This movie is so predictable also. Before Star Lord's mom dies, he gets a present but doesn't open it till the end. Any smart person would know it's the Second Mixtape obviously. I am surprised no one knew this except me.
But I'm not done yet. This is a perfect movie to show Style over Substance. I have never read the comic, but the whole execution was terrible. The whole thing is just action, arguing, things blowing up, more action, more arguing, more things blowing up and that is it. How is that good entertainment!? Action is important I know but you just can't have terribly executed action sequences with bad 'Character Development' and more crap blowing up!
One more thing, The Soundtrack, People are like oh my god the soundtrack is amazing. It is good. But unfortunately, it is overshadowed by the rest of the movie's presence. If this was a Wes Anderson film, this soundtrack would have worked fine. But it's not. It's a Brainless Superhero Film. But I will admit, I will look for the soundtrack to this film on cassette so I can play it on my Walkman.
This is the most overrated movie in the history of ever. I see people giving one star reviews to the Avengers saying it's overrated but they give perfect 10 star ratings to this? While the Avengers had so much loving care and effort put into it, this movie comes along and everyone is like this is better then the Avengers. The only really positive thing I can say is Chris Pratt is going to become the next big thing because his presence on screen is charming and fun. Overall, it is not a good film. Not terrible, but really not that good, with the exception of Howard the Duck at the end.
