I thought it was supposed to be an Avengers-esque film. 
edit - enjoyed groot
didnt really follow all the characters that well, maybe it would have helped knowing some background, but.... others said they didn't in this threaddand still loved it...shrug |
There's no background needed for the characters. The background in the comics varies and it's quite different in many ways.
It's a great theatre film. It's a space adventure like Star Wars with a more modern take and awesome soundtrack. Maybe it doesn't translate well to watching at home. I find Star Wars and the Avengers to be pretty boring to watch at home.
I still rate it as the 2nd best Marvel film so far, with Iron Man as number 1.
