One star better than THE CIRCLE. Not quite as good as GOTG Vol.1.

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2017)

Once more, we have a total retcon of characters I grew up with. Mantis--who, in the comics, was a highly intelligent, kick-butt martial artist raised by Shaolin-like Kree expatriates--is reduced to being an empathic bug-like concubine. Drax is still a knife- wielding psychopath rather than the J'onn J'onzz analog he was in the Silver Age Captain Mar-Vell stories. And the only nod to the original GOTG comic from the 1960's is the inclusion of Martinex (a crystalline humanoid) as first-mate to special guest-star Sylvester Stallone.
The only thing remaining intact was the concept of Ego being an aptly-named living planet.
Add to all that the fact that, once again, out-takes were unethically used as previews and you have a time-killing adventure flick that isn't too bad. Almost as delightfully campy as any old episode of the Adam West Bat-series, in fact!
But, still possessed of way too much room for improvement.
