Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) by Miyuki — 06 Aug 2014

If you are into this space-opera/superhero/action genre stuff, then "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a must-watch for You. If you are not, then be sceptical and do not expect to see the greatest movie ever.

A huge weakness for this film is it's screenplay which is a huge cliche. Or maybe it is a parody of itself. Either way, if you have any experience in watching movies, you will always be able to predict what is going to happen next. Although one of the main aspects of the film is the fate of the entire galaxy, there is never really anything at stake. The climax is cheap and predictable.

On the other hand, "Guardians of Galaxy" can be surprisingly fun at times. All actors are good too, even though the characters are all black and white - this is a classic good vs. evil fairytale after all. Visual effects are outstanding as well and if You are going to watch it, watch it in 3D, because 3D always covers some of the film's weaker aspects and failures.

All in all, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is not a terrible movie, but I would not be as psyched about it as the rest 95% of Internet is. Seeing its success, we should brace ourselves - the sequels, spin-offs and reboots are coming.
