Movie Info
Brash space adventurer Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) finds himself the quarry of relentless bounty hunters after he steals an orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain. To evade Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with four disparate misfits: gun-toting Rocket Raccoon, treelike-humanoid Groot, enigmatic Gamora, and vengeance-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when he discovers the orb's true power and the cosmic threat it poses, Quill must rally his ragtag group to save the universe.

I honestly believe Guardians of the Galaxy would never have worked without James Gunn. I have to reluctantly admit that Joss Whedon put it the best when he said: "James [Gunn] is what makes me think it will work ... He is so off the wall, and so crazy, but so smart, such a craftsman and he builds from his heart." The casting was fantastic. Each of the major actors fit their roles like a glove. And it's another example of how music elevates a movie. GoG is he first MCU movie to actually have real songs (nostalgic 70's music) played throughout, setting the tone in the first 30 seconds with the melancholic I'm Not In Love by 10CC. But what really sets this apart from all the others MCU movies before this is the mastery of the humor. I think this is the first Marvel movie that I busted my gut a bazillion times while watching. Nearly everything that comes out of Drax's mouth and so many quotable quotes it would fill up a cassette tape. It is so apropos that James Gunn was tapped to reboot Suicide Squad. I hope his R rated version kills at the box office and makes Kevin Feige reconsider his stupid "only PG-13" for MCU movies (except Deadpool 3) rule. "We are Groot."

the fox/rat/gerbil character was an interesting novelty as was saldana as the green lady. groot the tree became a little tiresome alot quickly and the big blue chap was totally dull. never seen chris pratt before in anything but he was alright. i kinda cared about whether he ended up wormbait or not despite his mixtape, doubling as the soundtrack, being a load of old cobblers. the supporting cast was a definite positive with benicio, glen & djimon being worthy distractions from the, at times, super sillyness. really enjoyed the sheer vastness of the environment. there was even that one bit where everyone was in the head of a giant dead elder god or some sh... i'm glad though that johnny cage and his cohorts finally defeated shao khan with a little help from a slightly confused kano! it's a compliment that i'm comparing it!

Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the most surprising comic book films I've ever seen. Here's what I liked. Positives: 1. The characters; The lead characters are a odd mix. We don't know anything about these characters, so is this a hit or a miss? The characters are a huge hit and I want more of them! Chris Pratt is awesome as Star-Lord, he is funny but he also has some heart to him. Zoe Saldana as Gamora is badass and pretty sexy too. Dave Bautista as Drax surprised me, he was really cool and you honestly feel for him and understand where he's coming from. Groot is like the Chewbacca of the group and he is awesome. Rocket Raccoon is my favourite character in this movie, this little critter stole every scene he was in and he was by far the most funniest character out of all of them! 2. The tone and writing; this is by far the funniest MCU film I've seen so far. This film avoids cliches and is very self aware and picks perfect moments for humor! This film does also have some emotional moments such as the whole thing with Peter Quill's mom, Groot dying, as well as some other moments. This film does remind me of Star Wars, infact I think this film is like Star Wars mixed with The Avengers with more humor. 3. The visuals; this film is shot mainly at a studio with green screen but honestly the CGI and green screen looks fine, because this film is written so well that the CGI doesn't take me out of the film. Some of the locations look breathtaking too. Negatives: 1. The villain; my only complaint with this film is Ronan the Accuser. He's very flat and bland in my opinion. He could've been more compelling or maybe just as silly or absurd like the main heroes, then he would've been a great villain. Sadly he sticks out like a sore thumb in my opinion. It doesn't offend me or piss me off when he's on screen its just I felt like he could've been better. Just a minor nuisance. Overall: Guardians of the Galaxy is one of my favourite comic book films! It is by far the funniest MCU film I've seen and it is one of the funniest comic book films I've seen! This film could've easily not worked, but they nailed it and I can't wait for Vol. 2!

One of if not my favorite film in the marvel cinematic universe. It has a lot of funny, action packed, dramatic and definitely memorable moments. The characters where funny and likable, every single one of them. There was also good chemistry between each character. At the start of the film the 5 characters seem so evil constantly trying to kill one another. But at the end of the film all of the characters are heroes. It's just seems strange that 5 criminals turn into 5 heroes in the short amount of time that film lasted. However it is still one of my favorite superhero movie.
