Spoiler-Free Thoughts (But Really, You've Seen It By Now...)
Wait! Don't leave....
Still here? Okay, great. Now let me explain. So when Guardians was released in August 2014 (an odd date for a Marvel film...), it took cinemas by storm. The internet fell in love with this amalgamation of interesting characters, a space-based comedy, and throwback pop music. I remember that before I saw this film, over opening weekend I might add, it was already being heralded as the "Star Wars of the Next Generation." (Did I just mix Star Wars and Star Trek references? Oops...) And this film just simply isn't on the level of Star Wars. This is a very, very good film. But it isn't perfect.
