ThatI read comics and manga only that published in the newspapers and weekly magazine, other than that I am not into the comic books. So I must admit that I never heard before 'Guardians of the Galaxy' till this project start to commence. That means I had no expectations, I mean the expectation was nil. Especially after seeing the trailers and teasers I was totally repelled away to see strange characters like a tree, raccoon and other colorful skin tone human like creatures. Frankly, I thought it would end up badly as 'Green Lantern' did. I discarded my negative thoughts and decided to go after all I am a movie fanatic and that's what I do. I can say all these things were in my advantage when I went to sit in the cinema hall like an empty minded. The opening credits began to roll, me too slowly started to dissolve with the movie. It was not even 5 minutes passed, but I was into it and can you believe that I forgot to have a bite the junk food I purchased. In the end, I was very impressed like never before and how much? That's what I am going to explain in the below paragraphs.

‘‘I am Groot.’’

First, I never heard this director, kind of new in town (to me). When I checked his filmography on the movie database I came to know that I loved his movie 'Super' which was just like the movie 'Defendor'. What a breakthrough he got from this movie to enter into the big director's league list. It is a dream come true. He's also going to make a sequel for this as well and that is the real test to prove he's not just lucky to get away with this movie. Because many has predicted it won't stand tall in the box office. But what I witnessed was exactly opposite. The responsibility has become so heavier.

Secondly, its a another 3M or MMM. Don't get confused, I was saying Marvel's Marvelous Magic. Other side Disney and Pixer are battling each others in animation field to dominate. In superhero themes, is there anyone to challenge Marvel? It is like one man's pride walk on the streets of Hollywood. Recently I said in the 'Need for Speed' review that EA joined something like the same, but a unique league to transform their games into the feature films. Whatever they do, it is our gain for sure. It was Marvel's sixth movie series from 'comic-to-movie' conversion, after Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, including The Avengers. Remember 'Ant-Man' is in due early next years.

A story of a boy called Peter Quill, who was taken away from his home planet, Earth by the space pirates. 20 years later he becomes a skilled thief and calls himself Star-lord. As usual in one of his missions he meets some strange guys who are after the orb he stole from an isolated planet. Soon he realizes it is a bigger issue once he come to know what does orb do. Unexpectedly a five member team forms that includes him Quill the thief, Gamora as the assassin, Drax the destroyer, Rocket the genetically engineer-cum-bounty hunter and Groot the tree. They decide to work towards one purpose, but the thing is they are mismatched in everyway. That leads each others to get misunderstand, misuse and failures, in one word to say the losers. After the series of screw-up how they unite against the strongest villain in the galaxy Ronan was told before it wraps up with a grand final fight.

Yeah, I know the story was very simple. Men after the object that gives the power and strength is what's commonly known theme nowadays. But the beautiful cast and performances, including astonishing visuals will definitely change the viewer's perspective. It is going to be a game changer for the Chris Pratt's career. Congratulations to him to made his role unbelievably awesome. Now onwards its only look forward. Like always Zoe Saldana had been excellent and sexy under the alien skin avatar. If Andy Serkis is the master of motion-capture then Zoe is kind of a female version of him. Vin Diesel had the least display of all the lead characters, especially with his one and only dialogue that repeats all the time. It was so fun for the first time watch and hope it will remain same for repeat viewings. The character Rocket was another impressive, voice rendered by Bradley Cooper. Me too, to call him a raccoon kind of feel it is a racism remark. LOL. Definitely it is one of the top in the list of non-human or graphical character in a live-shot movie appearance. I think it was one of the biggest role ever Dave Bautista did. He was equally great to all the above, I stated. The cast was really a big, only those I mentioned in the above lines were having major portions in this installment. So expecting the others' time will come in the follow-up movies.

‘‘We are the bunch of jackass
standing in the circle.’’

Like I said the story was not the problem here because it was presented with plenty of fresh humor. Don't expect it like a serious movie with a serious mission that takes place travelling all around the galaxy in a spaceship. Especially it was far better than 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to… Expand

But they really are and I enjoyed this film much more than I thought I would have. Just the look of it and the color palette are so different than most typical comic book adventures. And I have to give some credit to Chris Pratt who is becoming a legitimate comedic leading man. Dave Bautista also did a pretty incredible job. Only Zoe Saldana seemed to mail in her performance relative to the other actors. Overall, and easy recommendation. And even one that can or should be seeing in 3-D surprisingly.… Expand

It's a zany but marvelous take on an unknown comic book (At least until now). The characters are funny, quirky as hell, and also have strong heart to them. Initially, I thought the humor would weigh the movie down at some point. However, it never relinquishes it's zany feel, which not only feels fresh to the story but doesn't feel forced. It's really the only marvel movie that has used tons of humor to its advantage and makes it truly special. Overall, it's a hilarious fun time at the movies. I give this an A!… Expand

Guardians of the Galaxy is the most ambitious film from the Marvel cinematic universe to date.

Marvel took a risk on the source material considering that the characters aren't as well known as the likes of Iron Man, Hulk & Captain America. But the overall execution is flawless. These characters are all perfectly cast, instantly loveable & absolutely hilarious. Chris Pratt's Peter Quill a.k.a Star Lord is one coolest anti-heroes ever and you root for his larger than life character because he has such human and relatable qualities that bring him down to our level. His character pleasingly had a vibe than reminded me of classic heroes like Han Solo & Indiana Jones. Zoe Saldana's Gamorra is a worthy heroine, Bradley Cooper's voice work for Rocket Racoon is hilarious and Vin Diesel's Groot steals the show. Most surprisingly Dave Bautista is brilliant as Drax the Destroyer, he brings a real physical screen presence and he adds witty and dry humour. Michael Rooker, Peter Serafinowicz & John C. Reilly are all fun and worthy mentions also. Sadly the only characters who feel underdeveloped, generic and forgettable are the villains. But otherwise this is one of the funnest films I've ever seen. One of the most successful elements of the film has to be the soundtrack. The Awesome Mix Vol. 1 tape is pure genius and it feels like a character in it's own right. It's definitely one of the best, most varied and most inventive soundtracks of all time. Featuring tracks from the likes of 10cc, David Bowie, Jackson 5 & of course Blue Swede. The set pieces are all thoroughly enjoyable and visually this is a very entertaining film. But what sets this film aside from the wrest of Marvel cinematic universe is the genius use of humour, banter and bickering between the characters. And unlike the the wrest of the Marvel films to date, this feels more like a comedy that features great action and set pieces, rather than an action film with segments of humour thrown in. The Guardians of the Galaxy made me laugh and smile from start to finish and sentimentally I'll forever love this film.… Expand

The cast of characters -- WWE wrestler Dave Bautista, who has received roles in mostly mediocre action-adventure films throughout the early '10s, might get typecasted from here on out, but he's a very welcoming addition to the Marvel universe -- has Avengers-level chemistry and the comedic timing is impeccable, it's the funniest franchise in the universe so far. The 3D actually helps craft the film's spectacular visuals for once. If the $90 million box-office revenue in its opening weekend didn't suggest otherwise, I have a feeling Guardians'll be a mainstay for a while.… Expand

- The cast is well chosen, both the anti-heroes and the villains are very well believed

- Even though the backstory of each character seem a bit 'force pushed' against the viewer, you feel sympathised with the Guardians.
- You aren't getting a deep, vibrant story, but an adrenaline, fast paced adventure, with a 'crew' you fall somewhat attached.

- As I said, it is not meant to bring something new to the blockbuster movie genre, but it is a great adventure movie that even people outside the marvel/dc universe feel as if they have experienced a pretty good entertaining and that's part of its strength actually, it manages to bring a rather complex universe and simplifies to the 'outside of comic' people while managint the 'comic fanboys' to nourish and savor its details.

I think it was another victory as I was rather preocupied how they would bring such a complex universe to the screens, and they have done it once again, all I can say is that DC should hire some of the screenplay writers on Marvel because they do a pretty good job.

Metacritic Rating: 9/10… Expand

It defines the meaning of space adventure and sets the standard of it too. WIth a mix of epic action scenes that go along with the unique soundtrack that is packed with nostalgic 70s songs, this isn't your typical heroes on space movie. There is no real leader of the Guardians, there is no side-kick either, they all play their part and work well as a team to reach their goal. Even Groot, who some see as comic relief, has a major role in the movie. Along with the dazzlingly realistic CGI that is a huge step for the industry, many up close scenes of creatures show their pores and wrinkles, even follicles of hair. There isn't much bad to say about this film apart from the fact that it's a shame that it goes by so quickly because of how action packed and intense it is.… Expand

It is smart and witty, and it caters to the general audience in a humorous without dumbing itself down. Its led by strong effects, visuals, and great performances all around. It doesn't break the Marvel Studios formula so much as it bends it, and following their strong track record that is perfectly fine.

While in this site I read negative reviews for this film first and I noticed a trend from the users: they rate acclaimed films low and panned films high. They pass of an opinion as fact, and before anyone reads reviews to decide whether or not they like the movie, I suggest just going out and making your own opinion because that is the only way you'll know for sure.

Guardians isn't on par with "The Winter Soldier" but it is still one of the best of the comic genre, and maybe even one of the best in the sci-fi one as well… 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

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.

Goodbye! Sincerely, Alexg732.… Expand

Guardians of the Galaxy is funny, unpredicable, extraodinary and epic from the first begining to the great end, you'll never believe in a bunch of dummies, but you should, how they pass through situations is totally unpredicable, but they always pass.

This sense of "those bunch of weak guys will never defeat the most strongest person in the galaxy" is well used in all the movie, which gives you the confidence that maybe you'll need for a possible sequence.

The cast does an outstanding job portraying this band of outlaws without needing separate films providing origin stories. The one gripe I have with this movie is the villain Ronan the Accuser, the name makes him sound very threatening yet I never felt all that threatened by his presence in the movie. Without spoiling the ending I will say Ronan needs some cultural lessons. Overall the film left me feeling extremely excited for future appearances of Peter Quill, Gamora, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, and Drax as the Guardians of the Galaxy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am quite critical in general and I did not know what to expect from the movie. I was presently surprised by almost everything. There were some minor issues which made me not rate it at 10/10. But like I said they were minor issues.
The bad:
1. Not really realistic: Yes I know that I should probably not complain after seeing a ridiculous tree creature and a talking raccoon. That is fine but what I am getting at is how overpowered these characters were. Not only were they all masters of combat but they were invincible as well. After the prison escape the movie lost all the suspense.
2. The lack of "real ending". I know that they want to continue to release more movies but at least don't make it that obvious. I have seen many TV-shows and also movies where they wrote that there will be a continuation and then the show is cancelled or the movie was not financially successive.
3. The whole fleet at the end got destroyed, how did the same people manage to survive without a single scratch? One of the most annoying things there was. Not only were the heroes invincible but it seemed that all the "good" guys were also invincible for no apparent reason.
4. The buildup was quite fast, you got thrown into the action almost immediately. It is however good or bad depending on what you like. I would have preferred around 10 minutes longer buildup as it was the first movie in a presumed series.
The good:
Everything else. The actors did an awesome job. The whole story was very good. You got really invested into the characters and that is a good thing. Plenty of funny moments. The effects were also top notch.
It is ridiculous that this movie got a lower rating by the "experts" than star wars episode 7.… Expand

I was not going to see this. The trailers looked a bit silly, but I heard some good things and it is Marvel, so what the heck. I am very glad I went. Hugely entertaining. Very good characters and lots of them. If there is one thing I amI was not going to see this. The trailers looked a bit silly, but I heard some good things and it is Marvel, so what the heck. I am very glad I went. Hugely entertaining. Very good characters and lots of them. If there is one thing I am not too keen on is the lack of effort and originality when it comes to all these aliens. Marvel needs to do more than just color people with odd makeup. Chris Pratt is ok and likeable. Still not sure why he is considered to be anything more than average. The story is pretty sound. The humor is great. Kinda reminds me of a better The 5th Element. For a super hero movie, no one is really a super hero with super powers unless you count tree man, Groot voiced by Vin Diesel. Seriously Vin, I hope hey did not pay for much for your one line. In my opinion, Bradley Cooper steals the movie in every scene.

For sure worth your $11 or so bucks. I did not see the 3D version.… 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. The trailers looked great in every way, yet people were still skeptical. 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

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

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

minor spoiler alert ahead it doesn't spoil major plots its very minor but if your a purist don't read on

You might be wondering if Thanos was in this movie according to rumors you heard I'm here to say YES YES HE WAS he didn't play a major role but what he did do felt just right and it will probably quench you thirst for wanting to see the mad titan and to be honest I teared up a bit when I saw him he had a presence would be the best way to describe it that you could tell he means business.… Expand

Guardians of the Galaxy is another Marvel Studios film following the Guardians; Starlord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), Drax (Dave Bautsita) and Groot (Vin Diesel) against the evil Ronin the Accuser (LeeGuardians of the Galaxy is another Marvel Studios film following the Guardians; Starlord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), Drax (Dave Bautsita) and Groot (Vin Diesel) against the evil Ronin the Accuser (Lee Pace) to acquire the orb.

The best thing that Guardians have going for them during the whole film is it’s obscurity to the marvel universe with the audience. Most people know whom Iron man, Captain America and Thor are, however hardly anyone knows members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. This is played on with great affect during the film which allows itself to be humorous in some places. Additionally the film can be a little laid back and comedic due to this obscurity. It can be jokey in some certain places and doing so helps us enjoy the characters even more.

The cast themselves have done a brilliant job in introducing us to these unheard heroes. Each member has their own traits to them with all of them being a joy to watch. Furthermore due to each character having their own trait it allows banter to be bounced of each other again giving a more likeable appeal to the cast. All the cast mould well together making the Guardians a cohesive team which when together is a moment to see.

The one item that I wished they touched upon more is the backstory of some of the characters, especially Rocket Raccoon and Groot. It is touched upon during the film but not to a good extent where we know where these characters have come from. By developing their backstories we could have seen more character from Rocket and Groot and allow us to see how they came to be brothers in arms.

In all, Guardians of the Galaxy is a fantastic film in which sets a new era for the Marvel franchise. The story is brilliant since it allows these characters their own individuality, their own spotlight however when the time comes, when they are all brought together its magnificent. The characters all mould together extremely well allowing banter to bounce of one another directly causing a likable cast. Guardians of the Galaxy is a must see.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to admit. I had very high expectations that this movie would be better than The Avengers as what some people said. That's not the case at all. But just because it's not better than The Avengers or the Iron Man movies, it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it.

I **** ENJOY THIS MOVIE.

I would say that this movie is much more entertaining than the Captain America and Thor movies. This is the movie that is worth my money without making me fall asleep for five minutes during the movie.

There were so many great parts of the movie that I can't list them all.

The cast did a brilliant job in their performance in the movie. I would like to say that this movie will make Chris Pratt a star and I am so glad he is going to do more movies like this. Chris Pratt's charm adds to his performance as Peter Quill aka Star-Lord. He has his charming comedy roots from his earlier works especially from Parks and Recreation which is why him playing Peter Quill is a great casting choice.

Bradley Cooper did a great job voicing of what would have been one of my new favorite superheros, Rocket Raccoon. I really enjoy Rocket Raccoon in the movie so much that I almost forgot Bradley Cooper is voicing him. He is a very good actor. He isn't nominated for two Oscars for nothing!

Vin Diesel also did a great job voicing Groot. Even though he said the same line "I am Groot" all over again in the movie, you can hear, feel and understand the emotions when he repeated the same line all over again.

I want to give credit to Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista for their portrayals of Gamora and Drax respectively. As for Zoe, I enjoy her as Gamora more than her as her character in Avatar. I mean, does anyone remember the characters in Avatar? As for Dave Bautista, I never expected I would enjoy a performance from a wrestler and his portrayal of Drax is great and enjoying to watch.

The supporting actor I enjoyed watching was Karen Gillian. It might be biased due to the fact I am a Whovian and I love her as Amy Pond. But her playing as Nebula is so cool and refreshing. I want to see more of Nebula on the sequel!

The characters they played have chemistry and they also have great character development even though the backstories are not quite elaborated. At this point, the team which I will call by their titular name is so great that if you ask me which Marvel Cinematic Universe team is better, it would be a tie between The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy. They are both funny. They are both charming. They have great chemistry together. It's the hardiest nerd question I will have to face when the time comes.

I loved how there are themes to this movie. My favorite one is about dealing with loss which is quite thought-provoking for a superhero movie. Each of the team member lost something in them. Star-Lord lost his mother. Gamora lost her parents. Drax lost the family he loved most. Rocket lost his optimism because of the experiments he is forced to take in. Groot....ummm....I have no idea but Groot felt sad too. The way they dealt with their loss lead to their criminal activities but they dealt loss with hope as soon as they realized that they still have a chance in saving many people's lives. Another great theme is teamwork which is pretty self-explanatory.

The direction and the screenplay from James Gunn shows how much of a passionate nerd he is in this movie without isolating the non-nerdy audience. I love his take on the superhero heroes and the fact he is directing and writing the sequel makes me excited already.

The 70s-80s pop-culture references are awesome especially "The Legend of Footloose" part. I fear the day when Peter Quill comes back to Earth and learns the existence of Justin Bieber.

The soundtrack is unexpectedly perfect for this movie. This adds more to Star-Lord's personality. After all, he is the protagonist and he is the main focus of the movie. I will review the entire soundtrack in a separate review soon.

While not entirely better than The Avengers as what some people including myself hoped, this is a great, if not one of the best Marvel Cinematic Universe movies so far. I will watch this movie again as soon as it comes out on home media.… Expand

Nothing against marvels other superhero movies, this just had that little extra that made it awesome. With a wide array of characters being portray by a great cast of actors, this is a 2 hour long movie of solid entertainment. You follow a group of misfits turned unlikely heroes with the goal of saving the galaxy from a **** crazy antagonist with plans of destroying said universe. Most importantly, you get to see Chris Pratt's name on the big screen which is pretty cool for those who saw him come up as the goofy actor on parks and recreation. I went into this expecting more of a kiddish movie based on the pg-13 rating but I was pleasantly surprised to see marvel held very little back, what with swearing, some brutal killings and at least one dick joke, good ol' rating system. All in all this is an awesome movie that pretty much everyone has seen by now, but if you haven't, get your ass to the nearest theater and see it on the big screen for best results, going not sober also wouldn't hurt the experience as a whole.… Expand

Going into it, I was worried that it would be a bit too silly with the talking raccoon and all. But I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that this movie has good acting, great characters, and some very funny moments. The story takes a bit of time to take off, but despite this, the movie never gets boring. And to top it all off, the movie has an amazing 70's soundtrack that somehow fits into the sci-fi adventure perfectly. And for everyone worried that this is a generic action movie: it isn't. In fact, the movie does an excellent job of staying away from nearly every action cliche. To sum it up; Guardians of the Galaxy is what every summer blockbuster should try to be.… Expand

Every moment you expectThe fact that this movie is so different and unconventional is why I love this movie. That’s all I can ask for in a comic book movie, or a movie in general, is that it brings something new or creative to the table. Every moment you expect turns about-face and goes the opposite direction of what you thought would happen.

I loved each of the five main characters as each one of them were unique misfits, which is a good thing. Each of them were creative and different for a comic book movie, and a movie, in general. It took a while for me to get used to this movie with it’s rockin’ 70’s/80’s soundtrack, quirky characters, and odd, hilarious humor, but it paid off in the end because of how different it was. It was a different experience from any others I have ever had in a theater, which is the same thing I said after I had viewed The Grand Budapest Hotel.

I loved the music, characters, script, and direction of this movie. The cinematography, visual effects, and art direction of this movie also made it very visually appealing.… Expand

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

So much so, that anyone who rolls their eyes at anything in the first 20 minutes, regrets the eye roll and instantly hops on board the fun bus.

It has a perfect balance of drama, emotion, and humor. Any moment that starts to get too serious or treads on superhero movie cliches gets broken up by well-timed and clever humor, and moments that get too silly are often quickly grounded by dramatic events or serious threats. The score is great. The visuals are absolutely top notch with very crisp, colorful, and imaginative scenes. The characters are all enjoyable and complex with plenty of room for growth, and more than anything this film has a lot of heart. There are moments that are emotionally challenging or relatable to the viewer. There are moments the characters act in ways that seem very genuine to their character and unique among the genre. The action is great and well-coreographed, with lots of fun gadgets and gizmos to create unique styles of combat, though there are a few moments late in the film when the fighting starts to feel like generic stage combat on par with some of the Captain America fight scenes in his movies. I didn't expect this film to be so touching and honestly the Guardians are my favorite movies and characters of the MCU. This is easily the best Marvel movie to date at the time of its release. I am very much looking forward to the guardians' further adventures! Rocket is my favorite character of the MCU!… Expand

The effects are good made, enjoyable for the eye and the brain. It still has good fashioned jokes but a rather movie like that seemed to me a bit silly as the jokes were a bit childish, still funny for us.
Acting is good, they really made it good there. Characters are also cool - a talking rodent, a talking and transforming tree, a modified woman turned into a living weapon and a big muscular guy that is looking like Agent 47 on steroids and on alcohol. Not even want to talk about the other characters (negative guys and misc.) The antithesis was there too. But in the end positive always wins, while negative is still right a bit. Doesn't actually affect anything on me.
The story (plot) isn't actually that bad. Placed into a sci-fi contemporary Earth time, 2015 probably, it's like Star Wars which is good, aliens everywhere and big ships - everything good for a movie of that kind.
As my review stays like the antithesis, I rate 9 because the positive isn't always right. Enjoy watching this movie; if you didn't go watch it now 3D!… Expand

It is the best comic book movie of the year, maybe only a little above of Days of Future Past and The Winter Soldier. Marvel did take advantage of the little fame that the Guardians of the Galaxy had as a hero team, but also make them seem as a group of all time favorite characters.

Chris Pratt is great as womanizer and sarcastic, Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana develops well as the serious killer Gamora, Dave Bautista is outstanding as the fugitive Drax the Destroyer and Bradley Cooper was the perfect choice as the voice of the funny and witted Rocket Raccoon.

I'm not surprised that this movie was so good, for I love James Gunn previous work. What is a pleasant surprise is how this is now the best Marvel movie I've ever watched (the original Iron Man has is finally dethroned)

All I can say is: go see it. Be prepared to fall in love with the best character assemble since the original Star Wars. The best compliment I can give Guardians of the Galaxy, is that it feels like the love child of Star Wars with Back to the Future. A sci-fi odyssey filled with character and humor. This movie is NOT to be missed.… Expand

August usually gives us the movies not good enough for May, June or July. Like Alien vs Predator for example. Guardians of the Galaxy however is easily the best movie of the entire summer.

The film is fresh, funny and fun throughout. While the cast has great exchanges throughout with tons of smart lines. Rocket (Bradley Cooper) may not sound Australian like some complain about but Cooper did a great job nevertheless. And Chris Pratt gives the star making performance everyone expected. He gives us a new wisecracking hero to root for.… Expand

Overall this movie was really good. I genuinely had a great time watching it and while it didn’t reflect the comic perfectly but it didn’t need to reflect the comic perfectly.

I genuinely had a great time watching it and while it didn’t reflect the comic perfectly but it didn’t need to reflect the comic perfectly. There were a few missed opportunities but I think the sequels will make up for it and when I eventually get round to reviewing them they will probably play a part in my opinion. A lot of people have said that this was better than avengers assemble but I will disagree but that was a tough act to beat.

This film deserves to be visually marvelled (no pun intended).… Expand

The humor of Guardians of the Galaxy is what sets it apart from other recent Marvel movies. The humor allows for some memorable characters, two that stick out are Rocket Raccoon and Gamora. One of the main things I absolutely loved aboutThe humor of Guardians of the Galaxy is what sets it apart from other recent Marvel movies. The humor allows for some memorable characters, two that stick out are Rocket Raccoon and Gamora. One of the main things I absolutely loved about Guardians of the Galaxy was the atmosphere. When I say atmosphere I mean how lived in the world feels and the backdrops. I just love the way the planet Xander looks and feels. Star Lord's ship feels lived in and disgusting, and I love it. I love almost everything about this movie. I give it a nine because I have extremely high standards for movies, so a nine is acclaim. This movie deserves the rave reviews. I absolutely feel immersed in the universe this movie creates and I can't wait to see the group again, someday.… Expand

This movie is tons of fun. Great cast (especially Chris Pratt as "Starlord"), fun script and it looks fantastic. Very good and an excellent installment into the Marvel gallery of movies. Highly recommended.
