I am simply not enough of a Marvel comics fan to get anything out of GotG part 1…
I actually enjoyed it. GotG was one of Marvel’s not-so-universally-known properties (like say, Captain America or The Avengers or Iron Man), and it was nice to see it get a feature film. Marvel took sort of a gamble on that one, and it paid off handsomely, both commercially and critically.
I have to hand it to Marvel, they’ve been doing solid work bringing their comic book characters to the silver screen. Better than DC, at least thus far.
