Why is this in the top 250?
Really, it shouldn't be. But I guess the top 250 is already messed up enough.
shareEasy, because there isn't 250 more movies out there that are better than this one. You don't like it but everyone else does. Move along.

Not an impression, mate. Those that dwell on these boards have spoken with their votes. In this world, it's a top 250 film. In different conditions (which aren't here) could be different.

Sadly, standards have fallen.
shareThat is a subject of debate. Films that inspire teamwork, fun story, interesting characters, and entertaining fit the bill for G.A. Nothing wrong with that standard either.

A very generic and cliche story.
interesting characters
Some interesting enough, some bland and underdeveloped.

Actually, you're the one who's bland.
shareAgreed, bored me to death this movie... Took me 4-5 sessions to finish it!
shareSeriously? Personally, the ONLY two movies where I've had that experience were Diamonds Are Forever (I was marathoning James Bond movies throughout July two years ago) and A Millions Ways To Die In The West (I only kept watching it because of my friend's recommendation... it didn't get better,) and I've seen quite a lot of movies. Guardians Of The Galaxy, however, isn't even close to having to watch in multiple sessions.
shareThis.
shareAgreed

Yes there are, you seem to be under the impression that the top 250 is anything more than a popularity contest.
Um..yeah? Whether a movie is good or bad is 100% subjective. Most people liking is what makes it a good movie. share
It is precisely a popularity contest.
Movies are made to entertain, therefore the only logical way to rank them is by asking the audience which movies entertained them. Insisting on some other criteria is ridiculous.

When you learn not all movies are made to entertain maybe you won't be so narrow minded about the criteria to rate them. Not saying that your rating system is bad, but acting like your opinion is the only one that matters is ridiculous.
shareHe's not acting like his opinion is the only one that matters? He said "most people liking it" is what matters.... And he's right.
You are in fact the one acting like only your opinion matters as you are incapable of understanding that whether you feel the movie should be in the top 250 or not, the fact that the majority of people do is what counts.
There are plenty of movies in the top 250 which I think are boring and I could hardly consider entertainment, but I respect the fact that a lot of others do and that makes me appreciate that it deserves to be in the position it is.
Stop acting like an elitist idiot on a movie database message board. You are a nobody like the rest of us, or you wouldn't be wasting your time here. Get your head out of the clouds and come back down to Earth where most of us live.
What are they for then?
shareWhat else is it except a popularity contest
