Looks like Guardians of the Galaxy could have the biggest opening of the year!

There were at least two or three.

When they listened to music, when he jumped out of his ship to save her and held her in a sensual way were at least two, not to mention the end. I appreciated that everyone became comrades in the end, but mortal enemies -> lovers in a couple of days feels cheap in any movie.

Like I said though, everything else was done very well. I liked every single other relationship in the movie.

It didn't feel cheap to me, but I get where you're coming from - that relationship definitely wasn't my favorite part of the movie either.

However, having watched the movie 3 times already, I think it's worth noting that Gamora and Quill never quite think the same of each other. It's clear at the beginning that she doesn't have too much respect for him (nowhere near "mortal enemies" from what I've noticed) but he doesn't think the same way about her. Their relationship gets better as the movie progresses, but to me it feels that while Star Lord falls in love with her, she still feels unsure about it - everything felt perfectly natural to me just like the friendship relations around the entire group.

I think it all comes down to the fact that Gamora is a somewhat uninteresting character when compared to the 4 other guardians. Their relationship certainly wasn't the movie's strength, but it didn't feel cheap or off to me, and it never took central attention or anywhere near that.

That might be it. The other characters were certainly more interesting.
