Karen Gillan was terrible also
This.
I've had it stuck in my head for days now. My second favorite was "Ooh Child" when Star Lord is challenging Ronan. A lot of these songs really get me nostalgic from my childhood family vacations. The soundtrack and characters are probably one of the most appealing things about the film. I loved when the "Guardians of the Galaxy" title popped up with Star Lord as small as can be in the foreground. It was a nice way of showing the audience that this was going to be larger than life.
I wish i could have heard the second part of the joke. Everyone in my theater was still laughing
Exactly.Nebula was completely under utilized.
Karen was great in the role, but had virtually no screen time.
And her "big" fight with Gamora was completely underwhelming.
That was great, the dialogue in the movie is top notch
Spoiler:I really liked all the characters, and I think they did an excellent job of doing an introduction without it devolving into a boring origin story. The interactions between the characters and the dialog was spot on. But the story was just...dumb. Sorry, it was (IMHO). It's a story we've seen about a million times before...Reluctant hero is searching for item. Item turns out to be unexpected and bad guy wants it to execute master plan. Hero has to stop plan. Hero fails, bad guy gets item, but hero saves day at the end in big fight.
That's not saying the story couldn't have still been done, or that there's anything dramatically wrong with it, but Guardians didn't really add anything to the formula that made it any different. No double-cross. No person back from the dead (yes, Groot, but I'm thinking more like Phelps in Mission: Impossible). No bad guy sympathy. Every role very clearly defined.
I really like the characters, and I WANTED them to be in a good story. Alas, I didn't think they were .
Thecapn,
I think your review has merits. I remind myself that there really are only a few abstract story lines. The way you described it sounds like hundreds of movies lol
Saw it yesterday with my son and a few friends. Loved it. Favorite movie of the summer!
