Huh. I didn't know Dave Bautista was Filipino/Greek. I was pleasantly surprised by his performance. I had read on tumblr that his reaction to getting the role was to break down crying and immediately schedule acting classes and it showed. Granted, Drax's characterization meant that there was a bit of leeway if he couldn't act, but I don't think he did too badly.

I was also impressed with Karen Gillan. If I hadn't known it was her as Nebula, I'm pretty sure I would've never guessed it!

But, overall, the whole film was underwhelming. I'm not sure why, though. Maybe it was partially because there wasn't any build-up to the group movie - there was no Drax The Destroyer or Rocket and Groot movie, for example. That meant that there was no real lead-in to the movie and no way to go in super excited about the characters.
