Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) by Shalaraan — 05 Oct 2014

Never ever felt a movie three times as long as it really was. My husband and I, we were relieved and glad when the credits started rolling. The special effects were incredible but the two-dimensional heroes, the lame jokes and the flimsy story ruined the fun for us.

The first few minutes were good but, after the abduction, everything went faster downhill than Rocket Raccoon could talk. We were so bored out of our minds, even the bombastic visuals and the showdown couldn't lift our spirits in the end.

I'm really baffled about so many people describing the dialogues as "clever" or "witty". I found them to be incredibly stupid, not funny and just lame. I never watched a movie before where the heroes a) loved hearing themselves talk, b) where they talked non-stop and c) had absolutely nothing to say.

The CGI-effects made this an A movie, the rest is barely C-material.
