3.0
Actual Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
This is the prequel to the Marvel Cinematic Universes take on The Guardians of The Galaxy. There were elements a really loved, but others that fell flat. I'll go into that more through my PROs and CONs.
PROs:
- Nebula's back story. That is something that is not present within the Marvel Cinematic universe and I personally think that in at least one of the Guardians movies, they will touch on that. It reveals how cruel Thanos actually is as a villain and as a father.
- Gamora's and the collector's relationship before the movie was touched upon and I found that to be a good addition to the story.
- Rocket and Groot are the BEST!
CONs:
- I'm sorry, but what is in an adventure within Iron Man that that is a Drax The Destroyer MCU origin story?! No. You can't just let me hate Drax forever. I NEED his back story before the movie. He is the one Guardian I personally do not feel connected to. I mean, I know they explain what happened to his family in the movie, but they never some it. You never see anything else from Drax other than him grieving, destroying or metaphors going over his head. I need more character depth from Drax, because he is pretty hollow besides these things.
- I'd also really appreciate how Star Lord found where the orb was originally. I don't need another back story of him on earth. I've read AND watched that before, but it would make sense to include how he found the place were the orb was held which kicks off the movie.
- So the initial CON is that this is pretty much half a prequel with mega filler.
To conclude, it's not really worth the movie, but there is good in this.
I love The Guardians of The Galaxy. I guess that's why I'm pretty critical about this.
