Anthony’s Review
I keep thinking about how awesome the music was in the movie. It’s been a very very long time since I sat in an audience that actually sang along with the music, let alone in a movie that wasn’t a musical. The movie attacks all of your nostalgic 80’s senses and compacts them into a little strip of film when entered into the proper device a great sensation of awesome overwhelms you forcing oneself to uncontrollably tap feet and nod heads. It wasn’t just that it was good music, it’s also that the movie found a clever way to make it a motif of our Star-Lord’s childhood and his little cassette player plays a part in explaining this guys priorities in life. Either way, most people between the ages of 25-40 will have little control over their feet and heads when watching this film. Enjoy it.
I was surprised by the humor in this movie! The humor littered throughout the movie was everywhere and defined this movie as an “action-comedy” in my mind. It was also the saving grace help overshadow some of the weaknesses of this film. The movie doesn’t really take the time to welcome any audience members who haven’t seen the prior 9 films as to who everyone is and why we should care which is a difficult to accept when you don’t know why you should hate a villain like Thanos. I mean I know he’s Thanos so he deserves to be hated relentlessly but what about the children who haven’t seen Avengers yet? And what’s a Kree? Why is Michael Rooker blue and seemingly has a man-crush on Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord? Where’d he get that sweet killer-pen? There’s a lot of things that went on without much explanation but somehow but I pretty much enjoyed it anyway.
