Guardians of the Galaxy

I got to see it with a big group of local cosplayers this afternoon through a special arrangement with a local theater and Marvel Studios due to one of them being part of a 5-person group winning a contest on hosting community service events through Marvel cosplay, and that was a good crowd to watch this kind of film.

The film has the tough task of introducing a lot of characters, give some insight to what motivates them, and come up with reasons for banding together, and for objectives to be accomplished through uneasy alliances. But, for the most part, the script is funny enough to keep it all together throughout its 2+ hour running time, while showing the audience a cosmically-fueled backdrop for which the main characters are pitted against one another, directly or at cross-purposes for plenty of adventure and even some unlikely heroics from this hodge-podge of not-so-charitable personalities.

Solid fun all around.

I saw it in RPX 3D, and it was a good presentation, both in brightness and the 3D post-conversion. No complaints.

I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
