Watched GotG yesterday; I'd rate it an 8.5-9/10. It is easily the funniest one of the Marvel franchise so far in a laugh out loud way, but yet the characters are often subtle making snarky comments rather than outlandish humour (although there is some of that too).
I didn't find the CGI distracting, nor is Rocket treated like Jar Jar Binks (he is actually one of the more "serious" characters). Although I will admit that Groot (the tree) has some Jar Jar Binks style moments, but it isn't as distracting/jarring as Episode 1.
The last movie I laughed this hard at was The Avengers. However much like The Avengers this too might have weak re-watch value as you'll know the jokes are coming.
I am looking forward to the sequel and want to watch it again as soon as it is out on DVD/digital.
It has like 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and 9/10 on IMDB. Safe to say this is another smash hit and another feather in Marvel's cap.

It's really sad that the star wars prequels may have hampered the adventure/scifi genre for the better part of a decade.
I have no problem with the gimmicky, comic-relief character if there's some actual substance there.
