"12% of a Review"
I think that percentage might be a bit high. Kinda looks like... 3 percent of a review, 97 percent aimless rambling.
Fanfiction I hate.
I think he was trying to do an Honest Trailers sort of thing, but without any of the charm or wit.
Honestly, how did you think of the film?
Honest trailers wannabe.
I am Groot.
Ultimate Secret Wars
Yeah, I think this was one of those times where this would've worked better as a trailer than a review. Sorry man, but some things just don't translate well across mediums.
I'm a geek.
Okay, but... did you like the movie or didn't you?
@Roo He's doing a review in the style of Honest Trailers. This guy's done that several times. The problem is, he doesn't seem to realize that they work better as actual trailers than text-based reviews. He puts a lot of effort in, and they can be funny, but it just doesn't work in this format.

Yes, he gets defeated by a buffoon dancing, and all the people complaining about this don't understand the point of that scene. It works beautifully from a meta perspective. To sum it up in three words, Wrong Genre Savvy.
Ronan is Very Serious About Everything, and he Takes Everything Very Very Seriously. Even when he's really hamming it up, he Takes Everything Very Seriously. And he doesn't seem to understand that he's in a comedy! So in the end that turns out to be his fatal flaw: he loses because he's so intent on Taking Everything Very Seriously that he lets himself get distracted by someone doing something silly and ridiculous!
You nailed this movie Grigor!
Nice to meet you!
This review was so groan inducing that now I only have 12% of my life left.
This is so bad its horrible.
Ladies and gentlemen, the superior trailer of honesty
. They don't just lazily recap everything that happens. They break down the core idea of the film and avoid jokes that mock the film for being weird when it was intentionally trying to be weird.
lol, exactly bobfrank. He was doing pretty good with the "Character as character" comparisons till he got to Mojo Jojo and went completely off the rails. Its like Mojo Jojo is the only other talking animal character he's ever encountered.

You have seen the films of Earth Mightiest Super Heroes. Thor. Hulk. Iron Man. Captain America. Phil Coulson. Now, it is time to leave Earth, go to space, the realm of every science fiction that counts, and meet… a bunch of losers. The Guardians of the Galaxy! Because, you know, the galaxy is such a small place, that even just five guys in a ship can protect it.
Prepare for a fight for the possession of the Infinity Stone, a stone so powerful that it can destroy planets, and which was initially stolen from an abandoned temple. Suit up for a fight between rival thieves... I mean, heroes... which ends with the lot of them jailed for theft. Watch them work toguether to escape from prison, even when half the team wants to kill or capture themselves someone else from the team. Behold the team as they get rid of the Infinity Stone by giving it to the all-powerful Collector, but things end in disaster when the Collector’s maid commits suicide, and Drax calls in the bad guy. Huh? Enjoy the final battle against Ronan, who wants to destroy a whole planet with the Stone, and stands his ground against everything, from lasers and ships to an awful fashion designer, and finally gets defeated by... a bufoon dancing? No, you can’t be serious, right? Please, stop. Stop! Stoooooooooop! Oh, the humanity!
The Guardians –“you said it yourself, bitch!” - are led by Space Lord (or whatever), who reacted to the death of his mother the only possible way: becoming a space pirate that hears 1970s music in a walkman. Hey, I had one of those! Gamora, an alien who fights like the Black Widow and looks like Hulk’s cousin. Rocket and Groot, a pair of extras from Lord of the Rings, and Drax... a guy with knives. They will team up against Thanos, the most dangerous villain, who just stays in his chair and does not do anything the whole movie. And Ronan, who betrayed the Kree empire for Thanos, and then betrayed Thanos to work alone.
Starring: Philip J. Fry as Star Lord. Turanga Leela as Gamora. Marv as Drax. Treebeard as Groot. Mojo Jojo as Rocket. Waylon Smithers as Ronan. Daria Morguendorffer as Nebula. The fat comic book guy as The Collector.
