I just saw it. It had great characters, is highly original, well written and it's visually amazing. The best Marvel movie so far. Better than Iron-Man, Thor and even Captain America.

Fast paced sci-fi a next gen Stars Wars with a great sense of self deprecating humor. Raccoon sarcasm coupled with a talking tree, an awesome, gorgeous green warrior fighter, a muscle bound beast of a man with a heart and no understanding of metaphors, together with a man-boy with a built in obscene gesture machine, flawed with a sad backstory; and destined to save the Galaxy. Villains galore, kudos Michael Rooker. Action packed, filled with laughs, the movie flies by. I must urge you to stay through the credits, because the end scene sets up the 2017 sequel which I wish was showing now! Go see it! If there is only one hilarious, clever sci-fi movie with great characters you will love to love and others you will love to hate, with fantastic FX and a Stan Lee cameo that you will this Summer then see Guardians of the Galaxy!!!… Expand

As you watch the movie, you can be connected with the characters as they develop before your eyes. Each character, important or less, is developed with care and with the right pacing. The comedy is well timed and easily understandable for most people. The universe is vast, but never overwhelming, allowing deep immersion. The tools, ships and beings can be connected to our world in a way that is both believable and imaginative. Most of all, the sound track is on cue, setting mode perfectly to the scene it is partnered with. This movie is a prime example of a good summer blockbuster.… Expand

I love Marvel movies. Although GoTG does not follow the marvel cosmic storylines to the letter I still found that this movie for the most part portrayed the spirit of all the characters involved and it did follow the comicline close enough. The movie was funny, hip, and at 2+ hrs it flew by very quickly. I enjoyed this movie more than Star Wars, Star Trek, Superman 1-4, Man of Steel. I even enjoyed this movie more than the original teenage ninja turtle movies and the back to the future movies. If there is one film that you MUST WATCH, GoTG is it. Go see it in IMAX 3d, then go watch it again for fun in normal. Im not even going to bother providing a movie synopsis, go see it yourself!… Expand

Irresistibly likeable and up-roaringly funny, Guardians of the Galaxy offers more emotional depth and better storytelling than most 'superhero' outings, and is probably Marvels best film to date.

I should also note that this movie has a great soundtrack comprised of many 70s hit songs.
The thing that's very uneven in GOTG are the characters. The protagonist team is mostly good - Chris Pratt fits the role of space Indiana Jones well (although sometimes being too childish), Dave Bautista (Drax) is surprisingly funny, the Racoon is alright (although constantly angry) and Groot with its big eyes is just cute. However, the character problem starts with Gamora, who is Zoe Saldana painted green. Not only her character is cliche, but also her looks are just ridiculous and terrible. Sadly, the same applies to many other characters in this film. The crowd, consisting of many "aliens" is really just a lot of painted people, which looks pretty damn stupid. What is more, the main antagonist suffers from the same issue. I'm sorry, but an ugly blue **** in a rubber suit with some black **** splattered around his face just doesn't seem too menacing to me.
Anyway, is it a good movie? Yep. Is it worth watching in a cinema? Pretty much, there's not too much competition now. But is it something outstanding, something memorable? Not really, just another quality blockbuster from Marvel, which shows despite the setting having been changed to outer space.… Expand

I make it aIt was memories of a joyless screening of Captain America that made me approach this new Marvel adventure with caution. A caution borne of years of instinctive experience of crass movies aimed at the lowest possible denominator. I make it a rule never to walk out of any film, but in between admiring the face of my watch and battling yawns with as much zeal as our eclectic on screen heroes were battling each other, I very nearly succumbed to breaking with this self enforcement. The film starts badly and never recovers. One of the most mis- judged elements is the vein of humour running throughout that is puerile, lacking the benefit of any real wit or genuine laughs.
The story may be simple but there is so much superfluous chatter to draw out the running time that it becomes a language unto itself, which is probably only decipherable by teenage boys or others interested in all things 'Star Wars'. Trying to emulate that 70's classic, and I use the term loosely, the film has its own double act comprising of a very vocal racoon and a selfless tree who are clearly modelled on the characters of R2D2 and C3PO.
The cast enthusiastically inject more energy into the material than it deserves, but one remains baffled as to what actors of the calibre of Glenn Close and John C Reilly are doing participating in this nonsense.

Technically the film is outstanding. Cinematography and Special Visual effects are on the money and the Production Design is striking even if one set looks suspiciously like it had previously been used in 'Elysium'. Furthermore the Make-Up should easily walk away with an Oscar next year. However, excellent production values do not a good film make and as a movie the force is just not with it.… Expand

Definitely the funniest marvel movie I've seen so far, though very different than what they've been doing. It's an ensemble sci-fi adventure comedy with clever dialogue and a memorable cast of characters. Similar group dynamic to what we saw in the avengers, made all the more impressive by the fact that they haven't had several movies to introduce the characters.
It has very little to do with the avengers specifically and instead widens the lens to encompass the greater marvel universe, making use of characters and alien races we've seen bits and pieces of before (most notably in the Thor films). The tone is very unique, bouncing effortlessly back and forth between comedy and genuine drama with an array of action scenes in a wide variety of set pieces.
If you've been following the marvel movies so far, you'll want to see this since it helps to expand the cinematic universe while setting the stage for the future avengers films (though in some ways it feels like it's setting up Avengers 3 more than 2). On the other hand, if you haven't been following the franchise very consistently or not at all, it still works as an adventure movie. The main characters have little or nothing to do with any of the movies so far, and while there are one or two faces we've seen before, especially in the villain department, you won't need to know them to be able to enjoy it. There's an important macguffin that ties into the larger story, but it's basically just there to drive the plot along. If anyone has been living in a cave somewhere for the past ten years or so, I'd be interested to hear what someone who hasn't watched any of the marvel movies thought of this.… Expand
