This film was a nice change from typical superhero movies, almost along the lines of Iron Man. It had very good humor and for as many aliens as there were there was strong human element which made the film more compelling.

Twenty something years later we see that he has become an outlaw, known (only to himself apparently) as Star Lord, that makes his living acquiring valuable items for well paying clients.

Aside from being set in space Guardians of the Galaxy doesn't really differ all that much from the Marvel movie formula of the last few years with the focus yet again on a mystical item that apparently yields great power. Despite this Guardians of the Galaxy is great fun from start to finish and is arguably the funniest of all the comic book movies to date. The performances and action sequences are as excellent as well making for a superbly entertaining addition to the Marvel universe. I can pay no higher complement than to say that it is probably as close as we’ll ever get to seeing Firefly back on our screens.… Expand

It is definitely on par with Avengers in the MCU. It's funny, the action scenes are immense, it's visually beautiful, the core characters (particularly Rocket and Groot) are straight up lovable and portrayed perfectly by the actors. It does suffer from the same problem as Thor: the Dark World in that the villain is pretty one dimensional. We're told he's evil through dialogue but there's not a great deal of evidence on screen until we're pretty far into the film but you're so caught up with getting to know the heroes and seeing what's going on with them that you find yourself not being too bothered. This is a must for Marvel fans, sci-fi fans or just film fans in general.… Expand

Really enjoyed the misfits banding together and caring about each other. Sci-Fi was there, but so was the Marvel expanding universe of characters. I did not grow up reading the comics, so every new character I generally just expect them to fall into bad guy or good guy categories. They didn't really add many new characters (outside the crew of Guardians) so I didn't feel too lost in the comic book lore.
Fun soundtrack adds another level of depth (although most of the music is from the 70s and 80s so you can take that for what it is).
In summary, good Marvel sci-fi movie, funny acting, good music and good message at the end. Worth a theater visit, and buy it if you like the Marvel universe comics (I bet one day the box set will be gigantic!)… Expand

Some time ago, when I first heard that a movie called "Guardians of the Galaxy" was being made, I was confused. It seemed like a comedy StarTrek/Wars ripoff, featuring some of the most unknown Marvel heroes, exception being Rocket RacoonSome time ago, when I first heard that a movie called "Guardians of the Galaxy" was being made, I was confused. It seemed like a comedy StarTrek/Wars ripoff, featuring some of the most unknown Marvel heroes, exception being Rocket Racoon (courtesy of Marvel Heroes and Marvel vs Capcom 3). I kind of got angry, the rage had been building up before that with the new terrible Ghost Rider thing (that's another story for another time), my reaction basically was "What the hell, Marvel, give us Civil war already!".
Short version: I was wrong. Long version incoming:
So, in time, previews and reactions started to arise. Things started looking pretty awesome for this movie, so I decided to keep an eye on it. And when it began to hit USA theaters, almost every critic I respect from that region said that the movie is awesome(tacular(get it?)). And when I trust a critic - I trust him entirely (that's why I trust so few of them). That all had built up, I had big expectations of this movie - I expected a mix of great humor and action, along with Disney-quality drama. That's one way to put it. After I watched it, I figured out another way to describe this movie - this movie is awesome and will be remembered as such for all time.
Everyone, by now, has heard and seen the trailer for it. It tells you everything you need to know. But the trailer for the movie acts out on it's own in a good way - it sort of lies to you. But that is a good thing, you will understand what I mean when you see the movie, but if you want me to tell you - it's better than the trailers show off.
The movie is extremely memorable - it's very well shot and made, there were even a couple of shots I took notes about. All of the actors performed well, the action scenes were exciting and the soundtrack is instabuy-MP3 Player quality if you are into old-school pop/rock.
This movie deserves your attention and there is nothing more you need to hear. And it's not like I'm the first person to say this. It does exactly the opposite of what DC is doing with it's heroes. Guardians of the Galaxy is an extremely good time, features some of the most memorable (post-watch) cast of characters (one of which whom probably end up being your new favorite Marvel hero), It's a very well paced and written joyride, that you will either love, or hate, and if it is the latter it is simply because it's not your thing, because there is no other excuse not to appreciate the movie. It's not going to chill your spine with shocking revelations, but it's as good as action-fantasy-sci-fi-comic-book-inspired-comedies go. I'll be quoting this movie forever, that about should sum it up for you, if you are a smart person. If you are not, just be a skeptic and go see it, you won't be disappointed. Just have a few extra bucks at the ready so you can buy the OST and a few comic books afterwards. No need to thank me.… Expand

Obviously there are some discrepancies between the comic and the movie, missing an entire memberI don't know how many people know of the comic book, or even care about it, but I wanted to leave my opinions on the movie from that perspective. Obviously there are some discrepancies between the comic and the movie, missing an entire member of the team and the power difference between movie Drax and comic Drax, but the film is a very good example of a movie adaptation done right.

The story behind the group isn't the same, the dynamic isn't the same either but the spirit of who the Guardians are was adequately captured in the film. Sure the manner in which they group together is a bit contrived, but sacrifices have to be made since it was the inaugural movie for all of these characters. With that said, they did a laudable job of creating connections between the people in the group and making you feel unexpectedly towards the characters on screen and not making it seem like you were watching a Lord of the Rings movie. That's actually the highest praise I have for the movie. What is was able to accomplish and not be massive in length. If it had been longer I would not have cared( more Guardians for everyone!), but the amazing part comes from how concise and on point the flow of the story and development of the characters was.

It also doesn't hurt the soundtrack to this movie was top notch. I was completely taken aback when that first old school song filled the theaters and then preceded to be featured in the movie. Who does that? The background music was also not to be looked over. I was also glad to see the use of visual effects being a bit different. Instead of doing crazy long slow-mo sequences, they were almost unnoticeable. Or the scene with Star-Lord and Gamorra unprotected in the dark of space.

My only complaints are because I actually know the actual story of Guardians and I don't know the reason some things were done differently. For example, I don't think they did their due diligence with respect to Gamorra. She did not need to be Star-Lord's love interest. She is a strong, no nonsense, can take care of herself woman. They got it right with Black Widow, why not with Gamorra? My only other problem is that Nova was not in the movie and only those who know about the character would feel my pain over his exclusion in the film

All the characters are easily identifiable and their archetypes mesh well with each other, and the star performance was Chris Pratt's characters. All characters felt useful in their own way, and didn't feel like one was more important than another. Like Avengers, it laid down a foundation. From a technical aspect the film was great, and it was paced well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most fun I've had at the movies in a long time, possibly ever. Left the theatre with a smile on my face, giggled all the way home, couldn't shut up about it all night, etc. All the joy and sense of adventure of the original Star Wars trilogy with a hefty dose of darkness to keep it interesting (dude getting his skull caved with a hammer early in the movie is a reminder that this isn't purely a kids' flick), and just utterly nonstop humor from a group of characters deep enough that you'll remain actively engaged throughout.

All the negative reviews I've read have been written by people who really just seem as though they're trying to draw attention to themselves. I see 4 s and 5 s and, ok. I can understand it just wasn't your cup of tea or whatever, but then I see 0 s and 1 s and that just makes me sad. A few of them even mention that the audience was laughing uproariously the whole time! How hollow life must be when you can no longer enjoy something like this :(

Right from the opening title sequence you can see thatWhat a fresh summer blockbuster. Is anyone else getting sick of grimdark heroes gritting their teeth and punching each other in the rain on sets so dark you can't tell whats going on? Right from the opening title sequence you can see that this is going to be a fun movie you can just sit back and enjoy. Chris Pratt's comedic talents are on show as one would expect but he handle action just as well any other A-List star and and look good doing it. Vin Diesel gets a lot of range out of his one line and Bradley Cooper is able to deliver an ACTUAL voice acting performance so good you wouldn't even know it was him if his face and name weren't plastered all over the movie. The whole cast embody their characters personalities perfectly and their chemistry is evident through even with two of the cast being fully CGI.

It does have it's problems. The villains in this movie are lacking much in the way of real motivation. All we know is that Ronan is SOME kind of zealot for...Kree Jesus? And the Xandar are...space Muslim? Who knows. There's a treaty and he don't like it blah blah blow stuff up. Nebula is tragically underused as a dangerous assassin and a daughter of on of the most powerful beings in the universe. While I know Thanos is an avatar of Death and wants to just kill everything is that explained in the movie at all? Honestly, their only goal and motivation seems to be killing people and collecting glowing stones. Whatever. Who cares. We just want guardians.

My other problems is that I'm not sure I get a real feel for how dangerous Drax and Gamora really are. One of Drax's main fights is just getting beat up by the bad guy and he seems just as capable of beating people up as well as anyone else on the team. The same goes for Gamora. Those two should be mowing down baddies twice their size and showing off all their melee prowess. 'The Most Dangerous Woman in the Galaxy' is held in check by a couple of ravagers?

This goes without mentioning how awkwardly each characters sad backstory is awkwardly shoved into the narrative. But, despite these flaws, their easily forgotten thanks to compelling nature of the characters, the quick pace, humor, and excitement of everything going on. Not since Captain America 2 have I seen fight scenes where I don't just immediately check out knowing the next fifteen minutes is going to be punching and skyscraper debris.

While there have been some greater movies released so far this year, Guardians will probably be my favorite and one I actually buy to watch again. I recommend it for anyone and would probably suggest you only take kids who are a little older as some of the action and the villains get evil and scary.… Expand

Memorable, fleshed out characters. Hilarious comedy. Great action scenes. Touching 'human' moments. That isn't even mentioning the flawless CGI and 3D.

Last great summer movie of 2014. Don't miss it.

I could watch this movie over and over again. It had lots of heart and the potential is endless for Guardians of the Galaxy as a franchise, especially in the hands of director James Gunn. Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot all played off of each other very well and made a likeable group of outcasts. Yondu played a nice part as well and I'm glad to see Michael Rooker doing a film like this after departed The Walking Dead. Supporting performances from Lee Pace as Ronan, and the Nova Corps Glenn Close and John C. Reilly added nice touches to the story.

This is the best effort put out thus far by the Marvel Cinematic Universe and worth making repeat viewings. Make sure to stay after the credits for a surprise cameo!… Expand

While not exactly original in terms of plot or themes, the way this film has been put together makes this the MUST-SEE superhero movie of the summer. Much, much better than I anticipated, and already thought it would be a good movie going into it. The characters are quirky, interesting, and best of all lovable. The usual fun banter and chemistry between all the cast that is typical of Marvel movies nowadays is present. While it definitely put a lot more emphasis on being funny, this movie doesn't skimp on the action, though admittedly some of the sequences could have been better. Stunning visual effects are par for the course nowadays for these superhero movies, and this movie is no exception. Overall, I'm planning to see it again this weekend, along with a lot of other people it seems.… Expand

If you combine the action in Star Wars with the adventure in Star Trek you get Guardians of the Galaxy, truly a fascinating movie. Guardians of the Galaxy isn't just a regular movie from Marvel, because the adventurous events made it extraordinary and highly entertaining. The action is something I really enjoy with this movie, it's packed with it, and combined with humor, it's truly something I recommend everyone to watch. The CGI is awesome, especially Rocket and some other things. Just as the CGI and the special effects is the 3D incredible, even though there isn't that much 3D effects. The actors in Guardians of the Galaxy are all spectacular, and the characters like Peter Quill, Gamora and Rocket are also great. The thing that I really enjoy with the characters is that they all have something in common (which I won't spoil), and that the main characters later find each other and do amazing things together.

I was very exited to watch this movie, because the trailers show incredible things that I have been waiting for so long for, but it wasn't that massive and exiting as I thought it would be. One of the reasons is that there are some weird and silly moments, even that most of them are funny and enjoyable, but some of them are just to silly (especially the post-credit scene). Another thing is that the first half of the movie is a bit to excessive and dull but it’s still highly enjoyable. The second half though, is much more entertaining. The last critical thing I got to mention with this movie is that I missed a more unique soundtrack like Thor: The Dark World or something entirely new, but also that the ending could have been more entertaining.

My conclusion of Guardians of the Galaxy is that it’s a highly entertaining and adventurous movie that successfully is able to combine humor with action. It got some negative downsides and if it had less of those and more massive, unique and entertaining stuff, I might give Guardians of the Galaxy a 9.

It does have its faults like bad dialogue, sometime bad makeup, etc. This however adds to the funny atmosphere. The movie is everything I want in a fun superhero movie and really is that perfect Marvel movie.

The heart of the movie is also what drove me. It's not corny or sappy, but really shows what the characters truly are. It's fantastically and will go down as one of the best superhero movie period.

Fast, fun, and charming, "Guardians of the Galaxy" revives the pleasures of 70's and 80's blockbusters that had been buried in a quagmire CG in the leaden coffins of dull writing. Unlike in "Dawn of the Apes," the live actors are just as good as the animated ones (and all are awesome.) Vividly colored, packed with Easter eggs (scandalous, delicious visual quotes from all those 70s and 80s movies), overflowing with jokes, and trickling with two or three tears, it should also give a shot in the arm to Marvel, whose post-"Avengers" features have felt a tad pretentious and morose. James Gunn can fix that. (Disney should also give him a Star Wars or two to keep him busy.) He's not the old Lucas. He is the new Howard Hawks.… Expand

I thought it had a perfect mix of comedy, action, and drama. I loved the soundtrack. Rocket Racoon's special effects were great. I joked that they must have spent all their money on this because the makeup on some characters was a bit subpar. It looked like they didn't hire enough makeup people and they rushed through certain characters. Makeup aside, this is a very entertaining movie, you should go see it. Just please, don't stay for the scene after the credits, it was so stupid. Everyone else sat and waited, and it was so dumb, there was a huge sigh of "ughhhh" throughout the theatre.

First of all, it was absolutely hilarious. The only superhero movie to date that I think rivals it in pure humor is Thor 2 but that was largely thanks to one person, Kat Dennings. This film has great laughs thanks to every character. From Peter Quill constantly fighting his ego to Gamora's "who put the sticks up their butt" misunderstanding to Drax not being able to understand metaphors to Rocket's abrasive edge to Groot's incredible dialoque, they all provide laughing moments throughout the film. The action sequences were done really well, as is to be expected from Marvel these days. The plot also unfolded nicely. I was worried in the beginning that they were trying to stretch the audience's attention too thin and have too many plot elements going on at once but they merged fairly quickly and developed well. I still would've preferred for this element of the Marvel universe to stay separate from the Avengers but hey, it's still very entertaining.… Expand

I wasThere are already a lot of reviews on Guardians of the Galaxy--so I'll be blunt and get to the point. When I first saw the concept art, I couldn't believe we were were gonna have a Marvel movie with a TALKING RACOON! I was like WTF? I was skeptical and in slight disbelief.

However, when I saw the first trailer I was pretty much sold on the idea. Make mine Marvel! (Ugh, that sounds so tacky and stupid. Lol.) The film isn't pure quirkiness and comedy, but can be serious and sad too. I actually felt pretty sad at the beginning of the film, and near the end, because of some certain SPOILERS. However, GOTG's specialty is comedy, and the way Groot, Star-Lord, Rocket Racoon, and Gamora meet is pretty funny. I loved all the characters: Star-Lord/Peter Quill (another Marvel playboy); Drax the Destroyer (who has more lines than the marketing campaign/promotional would suggest); Gamora (the second green skinned character in the MCU), Groot (a very lovable and protective Tree-like sentient creature) and Rocket (who I would love to see exchange some sarcastic witty banter with Tony Stark/Iron Man/Robert Downey Jr). The villains however, suffer a common problem that plagues many MCU villains: lack of character development and general clichéness. Ronan, Nebula, and Korath (especially the last two) don't do much and are little more than background characters.

These "cosmic Avengers" didn't have solo films to introduce each character, so not ALL the characters have the ALL screentime they deserve. But GOTG does pretty well. Most of the comedy is good, but some is SLIGHTLY awkward and feels kinda forced.

Still, those little things can do nothing to stop GOTG from being a fun and enjoyable experience. Some thought it would be Marvel's riskiest box office bet, but it definitely succeded and has a opening weekend gross close to Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier.

P.S, I think you'll either be amused or pissed off at the pre/post credits scenes in GOTG. lol. Also, cannot wait for The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron! I loved the AoU poster and trailer at SDCC, as well as the BvS teaser.

If you liked this review, I have also reviewed the 2014 films Sharknado 2: The Second One, Dawn of the Planets of the Apes, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Edge of Tommorow, X-Men Days of Future Past, Godzilla, Transcendence, Blended, The Lego Movie, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, and more! I also reviewed the TV shows The Last Ship, Gang Related, Crisis, 24: Live Another Day, I Wanna Marry Harry, Marvel's Agents of Shield, The 100, and Sleepy Hollow.

Perhaps a little overstuffed, the movie makes up for it with hilarious dialogue, an epic space opera tone, fantastic visuals and captivating storytelling. It has charm and a lot of heart, although its silliness can be over the top at times.

Comparable to what Star wars was to the 70's, Guardians of the Galaxy will leave its mark with a fresh story which introduces new iconic characters that are sure to become the new faces of our generation.

In my own opinion, this movie would be a 10, but for the sake of being subjective I will agree that it is more of a 9, because it does lack a cohesive plot, and under-utilizes its villain. Some movie goers may find that the wit, and charm along with the chemistry between the cast can compensate for it flaws, but for those who are expecting a more grounded and serious movie will be disappointed.

As far as its connection to the current Marvel Universe, I feel that GotG is in a league of its own, and brings something fresh to the table.

Overall, GotG is pure summer blockbuster fun with enough brains and charm to please most movie audiences.… Expand

Chris Pratt and Bradley Cooper are hilarious as Quill and Rocket. In a universe with skull-shaped space stations and a walking house plant, their schtick has consistently great timing. Dave Batista feels sort of like an after thought as Drax, but he gets plenty of his own gags as well. There are plenty of goofy comic-book universe moments, but none that are really out-of-place in the last decade's series of entries. I get the sense that there was plenty of fan-service, but that all went over my head.

The movie's only real weakness is Zoe Saldana as Gamora, whose lady-ninja love-interest typecast is rapidly getting stale. Whether in Drumline, Star Trek, Columbiana, or Avatar, she's the exact same character, and throughout Guardians she seems to be the only character not enjoying the adventure. And based on the few scenes where we see her opposite Karen Gillan (playing Nebula) it's hard not to wonder if they miscast the two of them since Gillan conveys much more anger and power while Saldana seems to be the pretty girl that barely hits someone and sends their stunt doubles flying across the room.… Expand

Not many people are familiar with the Guardians of the Galaxy, so a lot of people thought Marvel was taking a very big risk making a movie for these characters.

I'm hereNot many people are familiar with the Guardians of the Galaxy, so a lot of people thought Marvel was taking a very big risk making a movie for these characters. The trailers looked great in every way, yet people were still skeptical. I'm here to confirm it people, along with many others-Guardians of the Galaxy is the movie you wanted, and delivers so much more. Peter Quill, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, and Drax come on screen to deliver possibly the funnest time you will have at the theatre this year. Funny, heartwarming, clever, and action packed can all be words to describe this awesome movie. So since the movie is named after this group of characters, let's talk about these characters. Chris Pratt plays the leader, Star Lord, and I've never seen him better. He was just the perfect choice for this role. While Pratt is amazing, there's one character that truly steals the show: Rocket. How did you not expect this raccoon that spits out hilarious lines with big guns to be the star of the show? Bradley Cooper's voice for him was also amazing. Then there's Gamora. Zoe Saldana is known for being a great sci-fi movie actress, and she's well known for her very, very, very good performances in Avatar and the new Star Trek flicks. She's just as good here, and even though there's not a lot of it, her chemistry with Pratt is great. There's not much to say about Groot since he only says "I am Groot" for the movie, but I loved his abilities and watching him in action. One of the less noteworthy ones is Drax. Marvel made a bit of a mistake here by hiring a former wrestler. While Drax does have very good lines and funny sarcasm, the guy that plays him is not a great actor. The main villain, Ronan, wasn't very good, either. Overall, he was serviceable, but I just felt he was generic. His main motivations come from his generic story about how his father was killed and now he wants revenge. However, seeing the 5 guardians come together and interact on screen was a constant delight. The story isn't overly complex starting out, and it doesn't get to that later on, either. 85% of the time I was fine with that, though. Almost 100% of the time this movie is simply hilarious. I can't tell you how many times I was laughing out loud hysterically. This movie also has an awesome soundtrack. Me being a 70's and 80's rock lover, I loved every track. The movie also has great action sequences. The most memorable parts are all-out dogfights, but the guardians can also kick ass gloriously without aircraft. Great visuals compliment the action, too, but at small times it looked like live-action. Despite flaws with Ronan and Drax, a very slight amount of complexity, and not-always-perfect visuals, Guardians of the Galaxy is a complete blast. Marvel took a risk with this flick-but what's the pay off here? You should know after all the stuff I've said so far: BIG TIME!… Expand

After all I was set in space with all new character we have to learn about, as well as how they meet and then have them do something heroic. I thought it would feel rushed like if the Avengers had to explain each character origins instead of having all of Phase 1 to do that. Clearly my prediction was wrong as it is so perfect it is hard to explain why. It's a story about a group of relatively unknown character set in a relatively unknown setting and is so brilliant for it's ability for the character to run around and not bother with explanations except for one small part in the middle of the movie but it never loses the fast paced story and action. It doesn't have the super awesome super hero fight scenes of The Winter Solider but fills the gap with some awesome star-ship battles and the music which proves that old 70-80s songs can be better than having music the likes of Star Wars. The character are a ragtag band of misfits who take steps to make the film not take it self seriously at some points. But I think the treasure is the fact it made Chris Pratt, a talking raccoon, a green skinned assassin, a walking tree, and a alien maniac look like the coolest people in the universe.… Expand

It's great to see him on the big screen in comparison to his character Andy in Parks & Recreation. I think one of the main reasons the film has done so well is the well balanced addition of off-beat humour, something which isn't a common thread in Marvel comic book movies to date.

Guardians of the Galaxy was a ton of fun from start to finish and I loved almost every minute of it! Sure the main premise has some similarities with The Avengers (e.g. the conventional plot of a villain seeking world domination, and a team of heroes putting aside their differences to stop the villain), but it more than made up for it with it's pitch-perfect cast, dazzling fight sequences, fantastic character dynamics between the main 5 leads and of course great writing! I haven't laughing at a Marvel movie so much since Thor, and it was perfect for balancing out the serious moments of the movie, maybe overstepping that balance a little but given the goofy tone it was going for; I can't blame the movie for it. For Marvel Studios to release a movie part of a little-known franchise like this: the fact that they pulled it off as well as they did is very commendable on their part.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Analysis: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) *SPOILERS*

So here we are, one of the most exciting and funniest movie of 2014: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Like most people, I didn’t know who the hell were “Guardians of the Galaxy”, I was unfamiliar with the heroes. When I saw the trailer for the film, I didn’t get my expectations up, as the trailer wasn’t something special. However, after seeing couple of clips and more trailers, I got intrigued by it, I went to see the movie and holy sh*t. This movie is really great. The action sequences are very well done and the visual effects are sparkling, but the strong point of “Guardians of the Galaxy” is definitely, the satire. This is probably one of the most hilarious Marvel films to date, even counting “Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance” in which its badness gets way too funny, and NO, I’m not saying that “Guardians” is bad, it’s a well put together film. There’s some issues with the movie, such as the villain. I will explain that later in this review.

After discovering a mysterious orb in another part of the galaxy, Peter Quill from Earth, is now the main target of a manhunt led by the genocidal villain Ronan the Accuser. Being hunted across the galaxy, Quill gets lumped together with a group of misfits that need to learn how to get along before they can become the "Guardians of the Galaxy".

The cast seems to have fun. After all, they’re presented with a welcome dose of humor, which is pretty great. If you buy the Blu-ray, you’ll get some extras – one of them being “The Making of” – in which Chris Pratt (the guy who played Peter Quill in this one, and also played Wesley’s friend in “Wanted”) tells that in Morag scene, when he’s dancing, he tells that the music helped him give a top-notch performance. This kind of energy contributes for the performances of the stars, and thanks to James Gunn’s stylish direction, he managed to pull the performances necessary to carry the film. There were some countless scenes that really made me cachinnate, one of them being the Prison escape where Drax – a character that takes everything literally – lets a metaphor go over his head, and he says: “Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast I would catch it”. Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) also gets a few witty moments, and the character Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) earns marks for some emotional scenes, such as his “supposed” death. Gamora (portrayed by Zoe Saldana) is Thanos’ daughter, who also teams up with the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy to defeat the antagonist. She’s not as sexy as most people were saying she was, in my opinion, but she’s undoubtedly, a badass assassin. Songs like “Come and Get Your Love” and “Hooked on a Feeling” are perfect, a well-chosen soundtrack indeed.

The action and the special effects are simply put together, awesome. The action is well done. I wouldn’t say “outstanding” because that would be an overstatement, but it’s very entertaining. I will indicate one action sequence that stands out among as everything else, like: Kyln Prison Escape. A scene where Drax picks a machine gun, passes it out to Rocket. Rocket says: “Oh yeah!” and starts destroying every single robot, enjoying himself while doing it (Notice how I referred Rocket as “him”, not “it”). Yeah, this scene is just amazing, as well other scenes, such as the Pod chase scene. Quill sacrifices his life to save Gamora’s is just a heartfelt sequence. Now, let’s move on to the visual effects. They are jaw-dropping. Groot and Rocket’s design are mind-blowing, they’re phenomenal. I don’t know what else I can say about them, they’re just awesome. Go watch the “Making of Guardians of the Galaxy” and see how they designed the characters and the effects.

One of the main reasons as to why “Thor: The Dark World” almost failed is because of its underdeveloped, completely forgettable antagonist (wait, who was he again? Someone named “Malekith or some sh*t, ah, whatever!). As I was saying, that’s why I had to lower my score, it’s because the villain was bad. That problem threatens to happen here, but at least, the bad guy is cool, unlike Malekith. His name is Ronan, the Accuser. I’m not saying that he’s not a badass with some cool weapons and powers, but he just seemed so bland and generic. He basically… wants the Infinity Stone and he needs to deliver the stone to Thanos, but he actually touches it, and becomes powerful than what he previously was. It’s quite clear that Marvel is weak when it comes to develop villains and write dialogue. The dialogue in this movie is not bad, in fact, its cheesiness is what makes it so meritorious.

Final Score to Guardians of the Galaxy: 9/10. I understand why people love it and I also understand why some people didn’t like it that much. This movie is briskly entertaining, frequently funny, visually splendid and well-acted. I love it, it makes me happy every time I watch it.… Expand
