Okay, this movie was pretty awesome! What makes Guardians of the Galaxy worth watching is the not only the writing, but also it's visuals, cool characters, good sense of humor, music, and the true spirit it has for adventure. It's not afraid to take risks but it is definitely one of the strongest movies I've seen from Marvel and it's full characters who (almost) all stand out. I left the theater very happy and excited for the next MCU film. I can't wait to see more of these characters!

Great popcorn entertainment, wisely drowning a dull plot in colors, quirk and retro music. The post credit scene really underlined the whole experience for me. This was James Gunn talking directly to a fellow child of the 80s, highlighting the fact that in another life we would have been best friends. But what the hell was up with the first five minutes? Talk about gut-puncher. I sat there with tears streaming down my face, stammering: "I.. I was promised raccoons with machine guns..."

I realize by hating this movie I officially declare myself old. Like, olde with an 'e' old. I hated all the characters like my grandpappy hates liberals. I hated all the jokes like my nana hates the Barker-less Price is Right. If GotG is what in tarnation this generation's whippersnappers call entertainment, well, brand me a curmudgeon and toss me in a rest home with Wilford Brimley, the Quaker Oats quaker, and that guy in the Werther's Original commercials, because I don't belong out here.

Star-Lord Pratt breaks through as a leading man, and - while the humor is very hit and miss - his casually comic timing is one of the best things about the film. Cooper also entertains as the animation marvel (there, I did it again!) Rocket Raccoon. Not so happy with the antagonists and the plot (or, the lack of plot, I mean), but Gunn's heck-let's-just-try-stuff looseness of direction gave me a 'Firefly' vibe, and the soundtrack has its own special mojo.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the best Marvel film to-date. It has great action -- CGI overloaded or not -- it's absolutely hilarious, and despite its weird but interesting cast of characters, you'll care about them and their fates by the point when things begin to get serious. It's different from previous Marvel outings, and that's a good thing. It has a great cast, a light plot -- that keeps things moving and little else -- and is one of the most enjoyable times I've had watching a movie.

Puts the 'fun' in 'fundamental concepts from Marvel's space setting are now introduced, huzzah!'. Taking a risk with a shift from the regular superhero fare and some unusual characters really paid off, with a cool as hell space adventure as a result that immediately made me want more. The cast delivers, there's a ton of details for fans of the comic/movie universe and how cool was Thanos I mean hoo boy bring on that Infinity Gauntlet movie baby!

A living, breathing comic book and the perfect embodiment of its absurd source material. Star-Lord's false bravado expertly disguises his heart of gold. Rocket is a furious ferret with a Napoleon complex. Groot grounds him like the tree that he is and steals every scene. Gamora and Drax are muscle with funny bones. Comedy, drama, romance, action...there's something for everybody and anybody. The galaxy depicted is diverse like that. Why should its guardians be any different?

Marvel goes goofy, and it's awesome. Captures the exact right tone for the space opera material in a way that's reminiscent of the original STAR WARS, while creating bizarre yet immediately likable characters. Totally lives up to the hype.

A human space scavenger and his ragtag band of weirdos have to save the Universe from an evil alien who possesses one of the fabled Infinity Stones. It's a big, fun action movie that doesn't have a whole lot going on upstairs, but doesn't really need it. There's a solid cast, plenty of snappy one liners, wacky creatures, and frequent explosive action sequences. You can't go wrong, really.

"I look around & you know what I see? Losers. I mean, like, folks who have lost stuff." There's GotG's mission statement. The extent to which that sentiment informs its humor and pathos varies across scene & character, but this is a movie about a bunch of ragged misfits who recognize behind each other's neuroses & tendencies to violence a painful loss. Take, for instance, the scene where Star-Lord's prickly father-figure realizes he's been tricked & reacts not with rage but exasperated amusement

What am I missing? This was pretty boring, particularly for a big summer blockbuster like this. It went for outright humor at every opportunity, which makes this more of an action-comedy than a straight action adventure. The problem was that the comedy failed 9 times out of 10. Points for Rocket, who is the only character that provides any consistent laughs. The soundtrack was fun, too.

After Star Wars misery and John Carpenter of Mars ghastliness - it was a treat to sit through a sci-fi fantasy in the cinema and really truly enjoy it. Part caper/heist movie, sci-fi/fantasy, comedy/parody, super team origins story, it's just a little bit bigger and more surprising than any one or two of those genres combined, and is its own thing - a bonafide blockbuster that feels cool and fresh (if a bit light). Best compared to the Lego movie for its unexpected sense of fun and spectacle.

GOTG is the biggest surprise of 2014. Marvel ambitiously took big risks with the source material but the execution is flawless. The characters are all perfectly cast, instantly loveable & absolutely hilarious. Pratt, Saldana, Bautista, Rooker & the impressive voice work of Cooper & Diesel are all brilliant together. And the Awesome Mix Vol. 1 tape is one of the best and most inventive soundtracks of all time. GOTG is pure enjoyment, full of heart and I smiled and laughed from start to finish.

Another CG-mass-destruction-with-casualties-we-can't-see film that tries to be the new universal event. It's fun as any cartoon kids will adore -- Groot pays homage to Hulk, cute raccoon, little tree; fucking really? --, features elements for nerds, adds a cool soundtrack to hipsters' mixtapes and even stuff for the critics -- losers fight patriarchal figures, recurrent theme on superhero films, and the expected self-conscious in-jokes. The Marvel equivalent of a DreamWorks animation.

One of the most beautiful sci-fi films ever made. Everything looks absolutely fantastic, even during the more mundane scenes. The other stuff is a mishmash of Lucas/Cameron/Whedon that won't fill you up, but never lets you down.

Sort of like if you chopped up a heist movie, mixed it into a comedy-action movie, sprinkled bits and pieces of Star Wars-esque mysticism and scope in, and then executed it all marvelously. (Of course, Star Wars was Kirby-inspired, so I guess they're both getting it from the same place!) It really could have used a few more quiet moments early on, and some of the jokes are pretty dumb (while others are FLAWLESS). Overall, though: FUN.

Starts with five minutes of sadz, but after that it's all Whee! Dancing! Whee! Comedy! Talking racoon! Walking tree! Whee! Music! Whee! Bad guy and blue and green lady! Whee! Prison break montage! Whee! More music! More comedy! Whee! Attack! Whee! Then there's a genuinely touching moment when the whole fleet tries to stop bad guy from landing. And then it's back to Whee! Music! Whee! Kickass! Whee! Purple light! Whee! [spoiler] Whee! Music! Whee! Postcredit scene!

The latest chapter in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" brings us an intergalactic "Avengers"-lite. The biggest difference being not their abilities, but the fact it didn't take 5 movies to set this team up. Instead James Gunn and company hit the ground running with one of the most entertaining sci-fi adventure movies in years. The most impressive thing was not just the awesome world building, but instead the quality introduction to all the charming characters. Best film in the "MCU" released yet.

Absolutely loved it! I knew nothing of the story going into it, aside from a very vague memory of the raccoon being in comic books, and was rewarded with the finest comic book movie to date. It was funny, it was cool, it had great visuals, great music and great writing ("Nothing goes over my head.") I love all the tie-ins to the rest of the MCU but most of all I love Howard the Duck!

What the fuck is going on with blockbusters this year? Guardians of the Galaxy is another in a string of hits, and really, it's easily the best. It's funny, but appropriately so; it's heartfelt, but not cornily so, and it's full of spectacle, but not Man-of-Steel-oh-god-I-want-to-die so. The only thing keeping it down is its function as a portal to Marvel Cosmic, which renders some characters a tad too simple. But I'll sure as hell be there for the sequel. Ride or die, busta. Wait, shit.

Lovable characters (well-played by all involved), good music, a great sense of humor, and an aura of charm and fun make this hard to resist. Underneath all that, some formulaic writing and CGI overload occasionally threaten to detract from the enjoyment. But if Marvel has found a formula good enough to deliver this caliber of a movie, who am I to complain?

It's not without its conventionalities but remains a very entertaining, amazingly quotable and at times surprisingly moving sci-fi diversion. The five heroes are extremely likable and, with a supporting cast that features John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, Peter Serafinowicz and Benicio Del Toro, as well as a deliciously retro soundtrack, "Guardians Of The Galaxy", at times warm, intimate, sweetly funny, at times reliably action-packed, is quite a ride.

Big dumb fun, done right. Essentially Serenity 2: Electric Boogaloo, but you can never go wrong when you have The Runaways' "Cherry Bomb" playing during the "Let's kick ass" montage. Slips nicely in alongside "Tromeo And Juliet", "Slither" and "Super" on an increasingly impressive resumé.

This is most likely a case of this film not meeting my incredibly high expectations, but I entered the theater super pumped and expecting to be astounded. Unfortunately, I left barely satisfied with what was essentially a generic superhero movie with an aimless plot and hit-or-miss humor. The animation is gorgeous and Pratt's charm as a lead is undeniable, plus it was exciting to see Marvel lovingly adapt sci-fi from comic to film. It was better than the Avengers, but unaffecting nonetheless.

I hoped for something truly original, for a movie that would actually break free from some of the comicbook-cliches that have troubled nearly every Marvel movie since the MCU started. What I got was a standard issue Marvel movie (ingredients: 1 planet being in jeopardy, 1 huge spaceship crashing into a huge body of water, 1 or more main characters dying but not really, 1 generic villain, and 9999+ generic bad guys who aim like Stormtroopers) with some hit-and-miss oddball humor thrown in.

GotG showcases one of the most interesting sci-fi universes the industry has seen in 10 or 20 years, and though that would be enough to give this a movie a go, Gunn's tight direction and tighter script makes this a must-see. I guess you don't need me to tell you that, every other human being is saying the same thing for good reason.

Though Guardians of the Galaxy shares many tropes with other MCU films, its greatest asset is it's not a superhero film, but rather a rip-roarin' sci-fi blast -- a sweet treat moviegoers don't get very often, especially one with such resources. It also leans heavily on humor, maybe more than Iron Man 3, and be as cynical as you like but it's a fantastic ride. I'd consider it more of a sister film to Avengers than a lead-in, and fuck it, it's even better than it too. One of the best of the year.

Another very entertaining MacGuffin-based romp from the good people at Marvel. This film's main strength lies in its well-realised characters (the casting really seems to work well), and the script flows effectively between the impressive set pieces. Of course it isn't perfect, but it is so much fun it is hard to complain. Good show.

FUCK! This film was almost better than all the hype I gave it! Perfect! Great blend of humor and action. It's a comic book movie that passes itself off as an indy film with a budget. James Gunn worked MAGIC on this movie. The one thing is how unfleshed out the villains are. They don't make any sense. I don't really understand their motivations. But who cares!? I'm having way too much fun!

Self-consciously takes the all-too-serious pomp and cosmic circumstances of the worst of the superhero subgenre, then throws Redbone into the opening credits. Rarely has there been such an infectious shot-in-the-arm in mainstream cinema. Relies on the audience wanting the characters to stay together - not get all VS. or Civil War on us. In a way, proof positive that nothing goes over the audience's head.

All comic book movies should be like this: unapologetic about its source material, hilarious, charming, moving at times and unique in its own special way (e.g. the inspired use of 70s/80s music) while still a recognizable part of its greater universe. The visual style is not noticeably different from any other sci-fi tentpole, which is kind of a shame, but it's not a huge issue. And I am all for Chris Pratt becoming Hollywood's next megastar. Macklin, you son of a bitch.

marvel seems to hit the jackpot again: considering the relatively obscure characters, so-so cast and the forgetteble space opera script, guardians comes out swinging. pratt reincarnates "solo" perfectly, and since the tongue never leaves the cheek in this movie, the outlandish setting and cartoon villains are easily overlooked. already waiting for the sequel.

In the most unlikely place (a relatively-unknown, third-tier comic book) Marvel Studios finds the most freedom and ambition of any MCU movie. The freedom to be irreverent, romantic, goofy, heartwarming, even touching at times, all while never forgetting to be funny. They took characters I didn't know or care about, and 2 hours later, I wanted to hug them all for being in my favorite Marvel movie to date. Phenomenal.

Don't even care what else comes out this year. Guardians is by far the years best. What an absolute banger. Succeeds in every way a good action flick should. I've been pretty critical of the Marvel hero series but this is just brilliant. Laughs everywhere, memorable scene upon memorable scene and actual truly great action sequences. Hell, I left the cinema and bought the accompanying lego set. Goes without saying but the soundtrack is a definite ten.

It feels like every comic book super hero (ish) movie now-a-days wants to be Batman. All dark and broody with room for very little silliness or comedy outside of one wise-ass character. This movie does a wonderful job of avoiding that now very boring trend. I got a lot of laughs and enjoyed much of the action. It didn't blow me away and will probably end up being overrated, but it's still very fun which is the reason I go to the movies in the first place. I recommend it.

SO. MUCH. AWESOME. It's pretty incredible how much fun this movie is. Very well made and pristine CGI quality. Everything about it is great, from the actors to the make up, to the script and story, the soundtrack, etc the list goes on. Like Downey Jr. said it is the best Marvel film to date, there's no denying. It sh-ts all over Avengers, basically. I was lucky enough to view it in 2D, as 3D is a crime against humanity. I am looking very much forward to the sequel. I am Groot, b-tches...!

The tone of this is definitely new marvel style comic writing combined with action slapstick, pop culture references, and millenial type humor. Its "try hard" hip irreverence gets a bit annoying at times. However, it's hard to dislike this and it works as a glue franchise to join together the marvel universe. The plot itself is pretty weak but it's just the introduction franchise so this can be forgiven. Groot and rocket raccoon pretty much steal every scene they are in from the human actors.

Gone are the days of the tortured self hating emo heroes, who just wants to be loved and understood. The Guardians are a bunch of a-holes. Egotistic and proud of it. GotG is a rebirth of the happy-go-lucky sci-fi movie. The Guardians live in a bright futuristic world, where a tree can talk and a racoon can have a Napoleon complex. If Han Solo ever had a true heir his name is Peter Quill... but you might know him as Star-Lord. Star-Lord? No..? aww come on!

Fun-filled space romp with great effects, great soundtrack (the Awesome Mix Tape #1 was a stroke of genius) and a solid line in humour. It doesn't take many risks with the plot, but that's to be expected for the first in a franchise. Leagues better than 90% of Marvel's usually disappointing output. The folk making the new Star Wars trilogy would do well to watch this. Minor gripe: Needed more Karen Gillan, her character was vastly underused.

the story is just as dumb as the rest of these marvel films, however this one NAILS the right combo of cast, characters, humor, and action to compensate. despite being a fan of james gunn, i wasn't expecting much of this at all, but dammit this movie was cool in a way movies have not been in years. and they curse and murder people plenty so it's exhilarating to get away from that uber family friendliness of the rest of the marvel series.

Where to start? The plot was ridiculous. The script and acting were pretentious and childish. The characters are unique but just plain nutty. With all of that counting against it, it is still a movie well worth watching. It bowls you over with outrageous action, the special effects are horrible and fantastic at the same time. The wit is tiresome, but causes endless smirks and smiles. It's the best bad movie I've seen in a long time. I was riveted to my seat, but groaned frequently.

One of the few movies that features characters so rich the downtime is more enjoyable then the action sequences, which are still entertaining. Fine introduction to what should be a fruitful franchise, but it could've used more scenes of Aubrey Plaza staring directly at the camera with a look of indignation.

In these rotten and postmodern times sticking to rules is the most refreshing thing. In this case it's what to do in order to make your thing fun and entertaining. You alternate the pace between blazingly fast so it's not too boring and comfortingly slow so it's not too overwhelming. You throw in a good dose of humor so it's not only fun but actually funny. And you keep your story simple, stupid but not simple hence stupid. You hire talented people to wrap it in pleasing aesthetics. Done.

Very, very nice. Filled to the brim with rapid-fire, gut-busting comedy and a surprisingly unmeandering plot-path, this is too much fun and too well done to be displeased with on any real level. I could pick a thing or two to gripe about that I thought of while not smiling, laughing, or totally enjoying myself, but who cares, bitch? They're the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Ratings are mostly based on one's expectation. I gave Transcendence 65 (quite good considering my PSI was around 20) because I saw a bad film and expected Troll 3. I gave GoTG 70 because it's well-made and entertaining at times. But when I entered the theatre with the great Brian Michael Bendis-series in mind (who perfected the Star Lord-origin in GoTG #0), disappointment was ensured. The characters felt like talking joke books with little to no personality, which was a real deal breaker to me.

Star Wars for the new generation. Sporting epic characters, fantastic visuals and quite a few stellar performance. Pratt, Saldana, and Cooper are great in their parts and Groot is fantastic! Bautista is less stellar and Ronan is pretty one-sided. Yet despite this, Guardians comes out on top and is one of my favorite movies this year.

Colourful loopy fun. The story is pretty tortuously formulaic, inconsequential and instantly forgettable but it has enough heart to pump some good old fashioned entertainment into the two hours. Like the best of Marvel movies it feels like there are some interesting and fun ideas in there that constantly have to fight against the behemoth of lame corporate productisation to shine through. In this case they do however. For the most part. The overtly comedic tone helps a lot.

Supremely well directed and tightly paced comic book action movie with spectacular visuals. Perhaps a little light on dramatic content, and certainly lacking in character backstory - but at the same time, it's nice to see a film with strong, positive themes which are tied into the narrative and embodied in the actions of the characters, rather than verbalising them every five minutes. A worthy successor to Star Wars for this generation of kids. Oh - and Dave Bautista was fantastic. Who knew!

When it came out, I treated as an attempt to squeeze money from the success of the Avengers. The GOTG is a rather obscure corner of Marvel even for a Marvel buff like me. But that obscurity turns out to be its trump card; they went wild with it, and with great results. The mixtape trick was a touch of genius and Drax, Groot, and Rocket (Rocket really reminds me of myself, I really identified with him) were wonderfully depicted. These galactic tales are hard to get right, but they did splendidly.

This marks a tipping point from where Marvel movies went beyond good, or a touch below amazing action blockbusters to a powerhouse of a franchise approaching mainstream nirvana. Which is quite an achievement for a lesser known group of Marvel characters. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a long way to fall before they stop getting my money and I pray to god that they can pump out a few dozen of these 70's sound tracked, thrill ride, laugh fests before they get stale.

Typical childish Marvel crap only with more (rarely successful) attempts at humor. Story is awful which isn't a big surprise, but action scenes were mediocre and slow motion annoying. Anything good? Decent music and I've spotted Lloyd Kaufman somewhere in the prison crowd. PS. Might be worth watching if you're a child. I'm pretty sure that 10-12 year old edkrak would dig it.

The 3D is as ineffective as ever (paying for 3D is a waste of money until it shows some consistency), and the villain is rather forgettable, BUT, it's EXTREMELY entertaining. Good story that contributes well enough to the overall MCU. Very likable characters. Baller-ass soundtrack, and a surprisingly-solid mix of action, drama and comedy (succeeding in not allowing the often-great comedic moments to cut the balls off of sentimental moments). The MCU continues to deliver in a big way. Loved it!

The film's best moments, unsurprisingly, are the ones built around the characters & developing their relationships. Fortunately there's enough of this as well as just enough successful stabs at humor & unexpected flashes of sweetness to overcome the plot's stew of done-to-death set-ups and tropes.

The first film to show that "Marvel" is not a genre. Instead, GotG gives a light-hearted space opera that is one of the summer's best blockbusters. It is popcorn entertainment, but in the best way with its sharp dialogue, exciting set pieces, and great characters. A welcomed, fun film in Marvel's brooding collection of darkness.

A funny action comedy that uses very familiar imagery, downright cliché, as a shorthand way to get the audience "on board" with the setup and world; as unfortunate side-effect, the movie never lets anything permeate and skips over all the minutia, with very few elements fleshed out. So in the end, you do have a functional plot, but it being there is irrelevant since the movie could function without it.

Riduculously enjoyable. MCU goes from strength to strength. It hits every beat wonderfully, retaining a genuine sense of warmth and good humour amidst the balls-out action and neat emotional beats. The characters are obviously a wonderful set, each bringing something compelling and unique to the table, and GOTG does complete justice to their inherent potential. A fun, funny, instant summer classic (with a brilliantly-curated soundtrack, to boot).

They aced it. Arguably Marvel's liveliest, most untethered offering yet, and unarguably its funniest. Sure, there are some grim moments, and stuff's at stake, but this is basically Marvel's first straight-up comedy, and it's structured as such. Upbeat and unfailingly imaginative; everybody's clearly having a gas, and it couldn't be more infectious.

2 hours of rushed zero-stakes setpieces over which 5 characters that are solely introduced via expository dialog somehow bond a magical friendship and become the titular group because...well, they have to, don't they? Most of the vastly overdone puns are lukewarm, everything looks way too artificial and the cast just isn't that great. NO, it's not. Another disney-movie for people who are easily sidetracked by shiny objects and the rape of classic rock music.

The Avengers is still the best, but this comes pretty close. The entire cast is great, with Dave Bautista being a surprise highlight. The film looks nice, the effects are good & it succeeds in creating a world that's both fantastic and believable. What I appreciate most about the movie is that it's fun, which is what superhero movies should be like, in my opinion. There are plenty of funny moments, good action scenes, & a groovy soundtrack. I loved it and I can't wait to see more of these guys.

This movie actually made my year. It pulled off the lots, and lot of good humor. The kind of humor that you actually laugh at loud. Not just a smile. Not just a inner heckle. An actual life. It was a play on science fiction and action of all kinds and a breath of fresh air, right from the very beginning. From the very beginning, you know this was going to be something far different from the norm. I don't know of anyone who wouldn't enjoy this fill. I truly did.

The villains are underwhelming, Zoe Saldana is average, the universe isn't that interesting, the exposition and genuine attempts at sentimentality border on ridiculous, and things can get a bit predictable. But you know what? With a cast this strong, and humor this hilarious, these characters negate the problems of the film they're in. I haven't had this much fun with a movie in years, and I more than welcome a franchise. 'Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it.'

Outstanding balance between the humour and adventure. Every character is given opportunity to shine. Any shortcomings are pretty easily ignored because of how gleefully and insanely fun the whole thing is. It's an origin story that eschews the typical trappings of such a story. And while there is a lot of exposition, there are scenes that give hints to the larger workings of the universe at large.

What "Guardians" really has going for it is that it's willing to have more fun than the average modern super hero movie. Its best moments are actually in the dialogue between the interesting oddballs which make up the main cast, and I especially enjoyed the first half or so when it showed signs of being a more low-key adventure. But then came all the "end of the universe" talk and giant space battles, and what I initially saw as a more subversive comic film became unfortunately bloated.

Dave Bautista was my favorite, he had me laughing at every line. I do like the fun style of rag-tag heroes, refreshing. It moved along, but still felt like it was just act one to a bigger story--one that I'm excited to see more of, but still a little lacking as a stand-alone story. Very funny script, good visuals, good acting. Characters need a little more fleshing out, so hopefully we will get more of that in Part 2.

The most colorful movie I've seen, the body paint popped! Chris Pratt's acting isn't stellar when he's not being goofy (the script doesn't help) but David Bautista surprises as a frequent scene-stealer with great straight-faced comedic timing. The retro tunes work but I can't help feeling they were used a bit too often. Jumpy editing left some climactic action sequences a bit flat but at least a consistent theme is followed through to the end - friends are stronger for sharing in their burdens.

Follows the same plot structure as Star Wars, has many of the same characters, the dog fighting is equivalent to an X wing fight, the list never ends really. And yet despite being a huge ripoff in every conceivable way it is an amazing, fun movie. The cast is great and Vin Diesel was born to do voice over and drive American muscle exclusively. Great soundtrack too. Marvel's best outing to date.

Once again I struggle with a film that is this tonally inconsistent. I just couldn't get into it.

I thought it was hilarious, but it didn't quite blow me away (my expectations may have been too high going in). Outside of Zoe Saldana (who I usually don't mind), the cast worked very well, and all had their moments (yes, even a terrible actor like Dave Bautista). The problem is, outside of the jokes and violence, the story is really thin and the villain is just not effective enough. It's the same problem I had with the second Thor film where the villain doesn't live up to their "power".

Probably the most colorful and visually arresting of all the Marvel movies I've seen, which naturally makes it my favorite. Rocket and Groot are lovable characters and the soundtrack was an unexpected strength. Plus, it takes place in space. Space is the place, no? But It still had all the trappings of standard superhero fare, despite the movie so obviously trying to separate itself from those trappings; which in the end kind of makes it an exercise in hypocrisy. Fun movie, either way.

This isn't a perfect comic-book feature, but it's one of Marvel's best and most entertaining offerings.

When The Collector begins explaining the back-story of the infinity gems, and Rocket stops him and says he doesn't care... that scene defines what makes this movie so fun. Note to other superhero films: stop with the unnecessary expository back-stories! Show, don't tell! GotG is better than Avengers because it at least has a common thread/theme, albeit simple, to bring the ensemble together. Ronan was always an uninteresting villain in the comics, and the movie didn't improve that.

This is one of the best comic book movies I've ever seen. It's pretty light-hearted with a few darker, emotional moments, but it's the funniest movie of the year (as of writing this) and I really love the characters. It definitely differs from the comics in some ways but it's still a hell of a lot of fun, and everyone does a great job. The only minor problem is Ronin who isn't developed that well, but I had such a blast with the Guardians that it hardly matters. Great CGI, action, comedy, etc.

A superhero movie made by and for the people who know their pop culture and thinks of themselves as smart and funny - in other words, for people who spend their time on the Internet. Not taking itself seriously is the strength of GoTG. Unlike the majority of superhero films, it doesn't get stuck on drama that doesn't work or the jokes that make you put a palm on your face and shake your head in disapproval. Good popcorn flick, but very overrated.

Hard to dislike, but certainly a mixed bag. Like Star Wars, its best feature is a vivid, expansive space-opera setting. Frustrating, however, are a clear tendency to hide the ethnicities of its cast members of color (Bautista, Saldana, and Diesel become aliens, and Benicio del Toro gets called "whitey"! But Reilly and Close stay human and white? Hmm...) and a too-sad opening that's tonally at odds with the rest of the film and earns it little but an FM-radio soundtrack I'm sure is selling great.

This was pretty good. It gave off a completely different vibe than almost every other superhero film I've seen.

This is what the Firefly movie should've been. Pratt does well and his supporting cast isn't too shabby either.

An outstanding space adventure that put the new Star Wars trilogy to shame, only because it accomplishes what the legendary space fantasy franchise seems unable to achieve for long now. A light-hearted adventure with quirky characters who quickly grow on you, the signature Marvel action and witty dialogue feel right at home in this film, since it never takes itself too serious. The fast pacing and over-the-top villain sometimes get in the way, but the whole experience is extremely satisfying.

Arguably Marvel's best: a group of interplanetary misfits get caught up in the plans of a warlord (Lee Pace) who seeks a mysterious stone that will allow him to destroy whole planets with one blow. Hugely entertaining, funny, touching, well-acted (by a very strong cast; Dave Bautista is a particular revelation) and very well directed by James Gunn, who brings a dash of his own quirky humor to the table. Instant-classic soundtrack adds a lot; "We are Groot" brings tears to the eyes. Well, mine.

A light-hearted and fun comic book adaptation that is closer in tone to sci-fi comedies like 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' or 'Spaceballs' than previous Marvel films. Each of the guardians is unique and brings something different to the table, making for a delightfully odd crew of anti-heroes. Held back from greatness by a predictable third act and cliche villain. Visual effects and sound design is top-notch throughout.

Follows the same Hollywood blockbuster formula that has been done to death even in the Marvel film empire alone. The only difference being it doesn't take itself as serious at some points, which for a lot of people seems to be refreshing enough to let the film get away with all the clichés, not me though. I didn't enjoy this film, the characters and writing were uninteresting I thought. Didn't like the soundtrack. A slightly better film than most recent Marvel flicks, but that's not saying much

Fed up with gritty heroes, portentous legacies, and joyless treks into darkness, this movie couldn't be more refreshing. Guardians ditches Hollywood bleakness and returns to classic swashbuckling sci-fi. With constant references to genre and commentary that carefully breaks the fourth wall, James Gunn maintains his film's integrity without pandering to middle school angst.

Yep, surely its not perfectly developed plot, and maybe there is too small amount of time focused on villains and their motivation but still this movie is pure joy ride. Also music in movie is pure class. All in all greatly entertained by the movie and cannot wait to see some more from this interesting group of heroes in part 2.

This film was so much fun to watch from start to finish. Not only is it a fantastic action movie but its also one of the best comedies I have seen all year. The characters, story and soundtrack all blend well together and make the experience incredibly engageing. This is one Marvels more ambitious projects which could have gone wrong but they have made something very special. It wouldnt be out of line to say this is the best Marvel film to date and bring on the sequel!!!

Top quality sci fi blockbuster fare. Surprisingly the funniest non straight out comedy I've seen in years. The writing and casting is excellent and storyline is solid although as with most Marvel films you just know it's only one piece of the big puzzle.

A fun and eclectic superhero movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. Humour pops up in the most dramatic of moments, and an awesome retro soundtrack delights as it contrasts with the slick futuristic galactic setting. The five distinct guardians form a gang of outcasts that are easy to root for in what is admittedly a typical and lackluster "stop the bad guy, save the world" type adventure story. Standard plot-line aside, this is an entertaining flick with even an emotional moment or two.

A hell of a lot of fun, because Marvel, unlike DC, has figured out that people go to comic book movies because they want to laugh, they want to see cool stuff blow up, and they want to see interesting people do awesome things. It really helped that GotG didn't take itself seriously at any time (and the soundtrack helped to ground the mood). I took points off for the scene where Drax calls Gamora a whore for no reason. Like, what the HELL? Why was that necessary?

Looking past the B&W metaphor of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, this is a sci-fi fantasy which does everything right and very little wrong. This has what so many sci-fi/fantasy/superhero films are missing this past decade: pure unadulterated fun. The humor flows organically from the characters and situations instead of cliched setups. Hopefully this will usher in a new Marvel Filmverse to shake things up some more, try new things and take more risks.

This may be the best comic book movie to date. It has the right balance of action and heart and memorable characters and good scripting. I'm glad it didn't take itself too seriously, because I think that would have killed it, but on the flip side this movie will never compete for other movies as "best movie ever".

Reasonably entertaining with a few jokes on the side. The formula is not different from most super hero movies, but the characters bring freshness. The movie progresses a bit too rapidly though, and thus fails to exploit the characters. Something to build on at least.

I absolutely loved the choice of music in this film. It took me back and brought back such a warm feeling I immediately felt nostalgic and loved this film. On the other hand I must admit that I'd axpected more of this, maybe because of all the overwhelming comments I read. Yes, the story is amusing, yes the characters are (mostly) entertaining and Yes "I am Groot" is nice, but I can't get rid of the feeling that this could've been more.

Guardians is the ultimate feel-good superhero mumbo jumbo. Silly and light hearted it manages to draw attention away from nonexisting plot to stealing leg implants and standing in circles. Has to be fun. All the soon-to-be superhero movie directors, please, sit down and take notes: lively and colourful secondary characters, attention to detail, grain of self-induced sarcasm is a good base; explosions, special effects and original villains wishing to end the universe - all come as extras.

Wow! Lately I've been starting to hate Marvel and all their comic book adaptations, but Guardians of the Galaxy just bring such a fresh perspective to the whole sci-fi world that make 2 hours fly by like a hamster on a rocket. Rag-tag group of protagonists, cheesy comic one-liners, incompetent and cliche bad guy, and amazing sound score provide enough "fun" value to easily forget about the weak plot and average acting. Oh, and the CGI work is amazing, kind of got me pumped for the new Star Wars.

Recently watched *Battle Beyond the Stars*, one of the many B-movie Star Wars ripoffs. This movie is basically a modern version of that type of film, and I suspect it might be seen in a similar fashion twenty years from now. Also similar to Joss Whedon's *Firefly*, although the chemistry, characters and witty one-liners aren't as good. Still, the film isn't bad if you're desperate for a sci-fi action on a boring Saturday night. ps70

Funny how this and Star Trek show that the main requirement of making a good Star Wars movie is to not be George Lucas.

Superbly put together with some of the best CGI I have seen, along with a great soundtrack, but GotG really loses out by trying to cater for the "child" (with dumbed down, slow delivery dialogue and a talking racoon) AND "adult" (with violence, excitement, decent story and threat) Sadly, the balance is too far towards the "child" and for that reason it was neither funny enough or threatening enough to be anything other than "meh". See "Kick-ass" for the RIGHT balance between humour and threat

Well, I convinced myself to be merciful and say that this feels like it just needed a Director's Cut, and not a page-one rewrite. Also the dissonant music choices made me miss Watchmen. That said ... oh ... and Gamora was done a severe disservice by the story ... but that said, I liked it, and am left hankering for more Rocket Racoon, by far the most realized character in this movie. All in all, not as crazy as I had hoped for, but I suppose I should have realized the limits of Marvel by now.

And man oh man that last scene on The Aster was heart-breaking! 68/100.

Retroactive: 82=>85 for buildup to Endgame. Can't help but compare this to Avengers - it's funnier and sets up a more interesting lore (though it's not nearly as immersive as a Star Trek/Wars), but I'm not sure that the characters are as interesting, as a whole. Avengers has a huge series of setup movies to its advantage. At the end of the day it's still an entertaining movie - though I'd say the action is much more bland (and so are the villains).

Guardians of the Galaxy is in that same rarefied air as The Big Lebowski. I can watch it over and over again, almost daily, and it doesn't get old. Despite the fact that one character is overly literal, one is overly a raccoon, and one is overly a tree (who only says three words), they all talk like real people despite being in a genre film (Lebowski is a detective pic, after all). There are dozens of quotable lines. The use of popular music also reminds me of Tarantino and the Coens.

We are Groot with this Sci-Fi/Action movie from James Gunn. Guardians definitely brings the humor and some cool action.

Star Wars with dirty jokes and a real sense of humour. Feels like a real adventure in space, and the effects work is brilliant, as is the cast and the team dynamic. Doesn't get bogged down in Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity crap, tells a story with an excuse for action and a one-liner every minute, and the use of music in the soundtrack is unexpected for a blockbuster and highly entertaining!

A fantastic comic book film. Likely my favourite Marvel movie, and only outdone by the Dark Knight movies. All of the Guardians are quite likable, especially Rocket and Groot. For somebody who is well known as a WWE superstar, Dave Bautista did a fine job portraying Drax the Destroy. I was surprised to see Michael Rooker and Lee Pace; it was a pleasant surprise. I am looking forward to the sequel which is three long years away.

Guardians of the Galaxy refreshed the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe in my opinion. I was getting bored with their movies until this treasure came about. The mixture of characters, insanely stellar soundtrack, and fantastic acting and actors mixed together to make the greatest super hero movie in the genre. Every moment of this movie is loaded with star power. Comedic moments break up the action. It is a movie that I will gladly watch again and again. I just hope the others can live up to it.

Guardians of the Galaxy is an interesting little superhero movie. It features characters that few non-comic book fans are familiar with. But it managed to be one of the biggest movies of 2014. The characters are quirky and very likable, and the action is great. With a good mix of drama and comedy, it's one of Marvel's best movies yet.

A highly enjoyable popcorn extravaganza! It's pure formula though. Honestly there is not much difference between this and the 2014 Transformers movie except for a little more focus on the characters. Same mind-blowing animation blow-ups and spaceship destructions. So why people piss on the T4 and praise this one up in the skies is beyond me. I don't debate that Guardians of the Galaxy is the better of the two, but it's not like there is any more originality in this then the other.

As expected, one of the best Marvel films released and fans will be right at home here with a film that has a little bit of everything!

Tons of fun, but it has its problems. Like any superhero movie, you don't ever get that feeling that any of them can die. Rocket Raccoon and Quill are the highlights of this movie for me, and Chris Pratt is really rounding out in to a star actor. Also.....why was Vin Diesel in this? It just seemed unnecessary.

bu tarz yapımlarda kendini çok ciddiye almamayı geç de olsa öğrendiler, yakında aksiyonun ilginçleşmediği ölçüde azaltılması gerektiğini de fark ederlerse yubidibombom filmleri de şaşırtmadığı zaman dahi çok sevilir olabilecektir.

I saw this movie in 3D and was pleasantly surprised, since the effects actually worked! Apart from the flawless animations and other technical shenanigans Guardians of the Galaxy is quite entertaining, yet no movie that would leave a lingering impression behind with me. But hey, it's fun, so who cares?!

On the face of it, an action-orientated, sci-fi, space opera set in the Marvel universe.
Like most of the more recent Marvel films it delivers. The true joy of this film comes from the knowing way it lampoons its own genre whilst not feeling too cynical.
It might be that the source material is less familiar to me (and indeed many others) but it seems far more difficult to fault than other Marvel movies.
Can't wait to see more and how it ties into the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe story-ar

I loved this movie! I thought that they did a great job at explaining the plot for someone who is not familiar with the comics. The soundtrack also added so much to the film.

Definitely a nominee for my favourite film joke:

Drax:
"Nothing goes over my head. My reactions are too fast and I would catch it!"

Possibly the best popcorn movie in a long while. My main quibble was with Gamora, who may have benefited from more focus or the same focus as Peter Quill. It felt like there was uncertainty about her role in the film, so what we're left with after all the editing is an often wooden and vague presentation. She still had her moments, no doubt.

Wise cracking adventurer fights both good and bad guys. Loved the raccoon and the tree, they make the movie. Don't come looking for any depth, it's not here. Just lots of action, one liners and special effects.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a cool and fun space opera that does a good job of balancing the more dramatic sections/action sequences with decent comedic bits. I really enjoy the performances of the main cast, particularly Bradley coopers take on Rocket raccoon and David bautista's Drax. The soundtrack was pretty cool and the film didn't seem to drag at any point. Only negative I could find was the subtle and not so subtle misogyny peppered throughout. Worth checking out.

There's no shortage of action and humour in this energetic space comedy, which boasts great set-pieces (despite a trite finale), smartly written dialogue, tremendous special effects and a fun soundtrack. As a whole though, it struggles to be anything but superficial. Pratt and Bautista manage to stand out most among a roster of entertaining characters.

If JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson didn't already have Star Wars, I would have been sold on James Gunn because of this movie. It's slightly hampered by having too much going on, and would have probably been better outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the Thanos stuff is sorta clunky), but it's a lot of fun.

At face value, another super-hero blockbuster. But the reflexive (and self-deprecating) writing make this film stand out - it is unafraid to look at its own absurdity. The tale is a classic outsider-becomes-the-hero, but that outsider, and his pals, have much much more depth than one would expect. Astonishing editing makes this movie one to appreciate and admire. And for anyone who can catch it - the soundtrack is a mixtape that everyone would have loved to receive.

Sadece Marvel filmi olarak bakarsak bile şimdiye kadarkilerin en iyisi demek mümkün. Genel Çizgi Roman öğretisinin aksine başarıya zorlanarak gidiş başta olmak üzere içeriğinde barındırdığı komedi, aksiyon, görsel efekt vb... birçok öğeyle tüm zamanlarda seyrettiğim en iyi filmler arasında yerini aldı.

Delivered something fresh and exciting into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The humor was outstanding, and well written. Every character was distinct, and we got to explore some background with each one.
Though I had some problems with the primary antagonist, I thought that he did the job primarily as a conduit for fleshing out the main cast a bit more.
The space battles were thrilling, albeit a tad unfocused and repetitive. This is a feel good movie, and it's a wonderful ride.

This massive success wears its heart on its sleeve, except that sleeve is dyed with a levity and a grinning sense of old-school happy-go-lucky fantasy. Still, at the end of it all, in place of genuine cleverness or flair, this dependably familiar crop beats the drum for a kind of vaporized eagerness to be funny, an air of sunniness that feels like lots of people blowing air into a balloon with a $170 million pinhole in it.

The best aspect of Guardians is, despite all the cgi and explosions, the many quiet moments of character interaction. It also features a wonderful performance in Chris Pratt, he's perfect in the role. And I can't imagine anyone else playing the part, kind of like how Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Other attributes include a smashing soundtrack featuring David Bowie, Jackson 5, and even Cherry Bomb by The Runaways. Guardians may not fully break the Marvel movie mold, it ranks among the best.

Simply an action film in space. Unlike Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy doesn't pretend to be a super-serious film about saving the world. With a soundtrack that blows your mind while the Guardians are fighting aliens to get the I-don't-know-what-the-hell-this-is-but-is-serious-shit and stop the plans of the evil Thanos and all the bad guys.
A great action film that gives what was promissed.

I wouldn't call it my favorite of the MCU, but isn't my least favorite either. It's right in there with a lot of the others. It has a lot going for it fun characters, lots of action, great visuals, and opening the door wider to the bigger story the MCU is trying to tell. However, it also has some flaws with uneven humor and a villain that was given absolutely no development at all. It's another great step in expanding the MCU in a very different direction.

Just another large-cast blockbuster, really. It looks nice, it has some refreshing moments of originality, but at the end of the day it's relying so heavily on cliche, deus ex machina, and trope that I simply can't see a reason to get particularly excited.

Marvel takes an obscure franchise and turns it into gold. It's Marvel's funnest movie. Period. Charismatic characters, gut busting comedy, beautiful visuals and out of this world action.

More focused on laughs than drama, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is definitely a fun time, but its quick pace results in an absence of genuine character development, and the film doesn't stand out from the rest of Marvel's filmography as much as you'd expect.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits-Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer.

Would have to say the top movie of '14 which was a good year for movies. Very well made with sharp and spectacular scenes and the effects and use of CG are also well done. An interesting story that sucks you in to what will happen next to this band of misfits. Good choice of actors who perform to high standards and the music is quite fitting.

Spectacular space opera with a full-throttle humor. Pratt performance was surprisingly above what was expected and it became the highlight of the experience, nevertheless all the characters are likable in one way or another and really well developed. The humor was well placed and extremely on point, delivered by talented actors and enhanced by the quality of the script. The special effects were out of this world and well complemented by an amazing and fitting soundtrack.

Guardians is without a doubt the high point of the MCU up til now. Several have come close but none have outdone this irreverent masterwork of weird. All the performers are fantastic and funny. The script is surprisingly down to Earth for a space epic. Beyond that, thank goodness for Mavel's decision to hire James Gunn.

Gunn has put together an extremely strong cast of characters here, all the more impressive considering their comic-book versions are little more than also-ran. The problem is how generic the script is as far as the plot is concerned. It also must have the most underwritten villain in comic book movie history. It's strengths are still far greater than its setbacks and it ends up being a very fun ride.

Guardians of the Galaxy provides comedy (making great use of the anticlimax) and enough dramatic weight to make this perhaps Marvel's most emotionally powerful film at the time. It is quite uneven, but with gorgeous visuals to top it, it successfully pulls the franchise in a new direction and gets audiences excited for new characters.
