When I first heard about this movie, I thought I might want to see it. Then I saw the trailer and decided that I'd just wait until it came on TV and watch it for free. But, I did end up going to see it yesterday.
It was better than the trailer made it out to be. It was different than most of the other Marvel movies; a little less serious and more funny (and with more language/crude humor).
The heroes were different than most super heroes too, which was interesting. I kind of like that Peter Quill isn't the typical hero who always knows exactly what he's doing and has everything under control. He was an interesting character- with a penchant for 80's music as is seen throughout. The group dynamic of the guardians was interesting and fun to watch.
Overall the story was good, though I think Gamora could have been written better. Some of her earlier lines just didn't work for me. Actually, there were a couple of places where something didn’t quite ring right with the dialogue, but that may not bother everyone. I wasn't too sure about Rocket going in, but I did enjoy him. He was funny and had a lot of attitude packed into such a small body. I also thought Drax was pretty interesting.
The end was, in my opinion, done well. I particularly like the last part of the battle, and the final scene made me smile.
As a side note, I liked the way the alien worlds looked. The movie gave us a neat hint as to how this mixed human/alien culture is set up. It felt like a real society, not just a sci-fi backdrop.
So, it was a pretty good movie. Not my favorite super hero movie, but not the worst I've ever seen either.
