Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) by Dysonlu — 29 Dec 2014

It is totally beyond me why this movie got such good reviews and ratings. I guess now I believe in the saying that the masses generally have bad taste. The simplest of storeline with moronic dialogues (I mean even for a comedy; they are not even trying), a list of most cliché of "jokes" and a complete lack of chemistry between characters. That's what this movie is about. If you were looking for even the faintest clue that this movie was produced for intelligent beings, you won't find it. I wonder if the people who enjoyed this movie let the eye candies, the light show and the explosions capture them and put them into a trance where their brain is completely shut off. Does the masse love "cheesiness" and cliché that much? Do they no longer wish to find even the tiniest bits of wit or originality in humour? Do they even still know how to appreciate such a thing? One of many examples illustrating the lazy juvenile writing of this movie : Girl waits for guy at entrance of a pawn shop (or whatever) and gets him into a conversation. Guy juggles this precious object that pretty everyone wants to get their hands on. Girl snatches it from him and runs away on foot in broad daylight. I mean seriously. Don't they even try? And people accept this below mediocre work?

I'm glad I only digitally rented this movie. My girlfriend and I had enough of it half way through. I give 3 points for visual and sound effects and make-up. Everything else is a big zero.
