Guardians of the Galaxy should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

The script for Guardians of the Galaxy feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Guardians of the Galaxy.

Guardians of the Galaxy: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Guardians of the Galaxy?
Look, I wanted to love Guardians of the Galaxy. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Guardians of the Galaxy actually is?
Director clearly thought Guardians of the Galaxy was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in Guardians of the Galaxy is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Guardians of the Galaxy would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
