Don't get me wrong... I thought the movie was great and enjoyed every second of it. BUT did anyone else think that the movie was just not funny? It's like they tried way too hard to be funny but like a lot of comedy movies, they failed.
shareWell, I was curious enough to visit this board and see if anyone shared my opinion of this film. Your thread title is about as close as it comes.
No, this film was not funny at all.
Hey, to each his/her own. This was not only the worst Marvel movie ever (since Iron Man, they've all managed to range from good to great IMO -- except this one), but one of the absolute worst films I've ever seen. I hated this film from start to finish. I recently gave it a second viewing, expecting to like it a little more than when it first came out, but only hated it more.
I thoroughly enjoy this movie and count it among my favorites in the MCU, but a lot of the humor does not work mainly due to pacing and overstaying its welcome. It's just very heavy-handed. For example, the bit with Baby Groot trying to get the prototype fin goes on WAY too long. The gag becomes tiresome.
A shame, because I love the emotional stuff in the movie, like Yondu's arc, Peter learning the truth about his father, and Gamora and Nebula's relationship. The humor is just too much though, with the exception of Drax's lines or more inspired bits like the warp jump.
The comedy is off for me. Like they tried too hard.
Whereas the first just seemed to work effortlessly.
It's like going to a stand-up show, some kill it and others die a slow death.
This movie feels like the latter.
