The five heroes were very well developed and share hilarious scenes together. On the other hand, villains didn't receive a lot of attention when it comes to their history and the supporting cast was poorly used (specially Del Toro and Close). Besides, we have cliché in a lot of scenes, something common in this genre. Thanks to characters' chemistry and entertaining script, along with the rocky soundtrack filled with classics from the 60's and 70's, Guardians o the Galaxy is the kind of superhero film that everybody loves. You will definitely have un while watching it.… Expand

Guardians of the Galaxy was an ambitious project that absolutely paid off, with some phenomenal visuals, some great action, some well done emotional moments, and some truly hilarious moments. This is definitely one of Marvel's strongest films.

This movie just tries to be funny and achieves it flawlessly, it doesn't want to be ground breaking, just have an enjoyable time and that is what it does.
Probably the best Marvel movie so far.

Likened to Star Wars, the story follows a band of rebels attempting to put aside their differences and do whats right for the galaxy. The film adopts a fast pace and feels like an adventure, maintaining it for the duration.

Marvel outdid themselves when they made this film. I had never heard of this comic or any of the characters involved for that matter, when I was growing up. That alone, and the fact there was a talking raccoon in the trailers had me very hesitant in going to see it. But after hearing how good it was from a few friends I decided to go see it. This movie has such a great soundtrack (if you like 80's music that is) and they also did a perfect job in casting, the acting was pretty awesome. Overall the movie was very well balanced, action and comedy as well as a good story line that kept my attention throughout. Its now one of those movies I have to keep on when I am scrolling through my Channel Guide at home. Solid Movie all around… Expand

I thought it would be funny and quirky, but James Gunn manages to exceed all my expectations by building something genuinely heart-felt and emotional. Really, it's not the awesome world-building and humour that make this film, instead it's the character dynamics, where each individual manages to bring something really unique and touching to the film. I was genuinely emotionally engaged, on the edge of my seat, and rooting for these heroes right from start to finish, to the point where I laughed and cried.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: There certainly are tiny moments where you sit back and question what the hell this is, but then I guess that just adds to it's overall charm.

Es una película interesante, porque no es de lo más popular en el ambiente de los cómics, de ahí surge su gran virtud la libertad de experimentar con libertad y presentar algo nuevo que no sea cuestionado si se tomo un rumbo distinto a lo publicado.
El elenco es muy bueno, solo en nombres pueden llenar una sala de cine, pero cada uno desempeña un rol fuera de su ambiente de manera formidable, Chris Pratt deja su papel de comediante y se vuelve el héroe de las abdominales marcadas, dos actores que estaban en buenos momentos con películas que lo pusieron en el foco de la camara, Bradley Cooper y Vin Diesel, y solo le daban las voces a personajes generados con CGI.
En cuanto a la historia Star-Lord (Pratt) es un cazarecompensas que es encomendado a encontrar un objeto de inmenso valor, una piedra del infinito, sin saber que Thanos esta tras el mismo objetivo decide quedarse con la recompensa del objeto para él mismo despertando la furia de su clan de ladrones, la justicia y los secuaces de Thanos.
Mi recomendación es no se la pierdan, sean fans del UCM o no, son dos horas de puro entretenimiento.… Expand

Out of all the Marvel films, this is the most well-put together comic book adaptation. Unexpectedly, the performance by Chris Pratt was great as he simply dominates the role as Star-Lord. I was a little skeptical on the directional choice of James Gunn. He has a history of writing and directing bad or mediocre films such as Slither, Scooby-Doo, Super, and Dawn of the Dead. I guess I was extremely curious on what this man can accomplish and how he can overcome his mediocre films and create something mind-blowing. And he did!

Nos llega este año, o mejor dicho este verano, la única película de Marvel que no atufa a encargo-fan service, Guardianes de la galaxia.

Basado en un cómic de Marvel conocido por 4 gatos y tu vecino del 4ºA, y con unos personajes de segunda o tercera regional. Marvel esta vez ha tirado a hacer algo mas alejado de Los Vengadores y su entorno, donde lo único que tienen en común, son pequeños guiños y que aparece Thanos, por ello se podría hasta considerar, salvo secuelas o siguientes películas, una pelicula totalmente independiente y lo mejor de todo, con personalidad. La trama nos narra como un grupo formado por un ratero espacial (Star Lord), una asesina despiadada (Gamorra), dos cazarrecompensas (Rocket y Groot) y un guerrero con ansias de venganza (Drax), está en sus manos evitar que la galaxia sea aniquilada por Ronan el Acusador (uno de los hijos de Thanos) que descubre una Gema del Infinito. La historia es la típica de "grupo que se embarca en un viaje épico/suicida para evitar los planes del malo", pero viendo el panorama de sequía que hay de este genero (El Space opera) que parece que solamente se atreven a hacerlo si es Star Trek o Star Wars, esta película destaca y mucho, pese a la estructura mencionada, la salva la personalidad y el sentido del humor que tiene.

James Gunn (director de películas como Tromeo y Julieta o Super), nos presenta un Space Opera en toda regla, un soplo no, un vendaval de frescura a un universo que se estaba enranciando y estancando en filmes prefabricados. Pero os diré algo, el trailer no te engaña: Guardianes de la galaxia es una película de aventuras espaciales con comedia. Donde en la aventura saca un sobresaliente, y en comedia Matricula de honor. Se ve que al haber estado en películas de la Troma (OJO AL BRUTAL CAMEO DE LOS FANS Y CONOCEDORES DE TROMA), este muchacho ha sabido hacer una gran película en condiciones, una acción muy bien repartida durante el film, un humor divertidísimo, con ritmo y sin parones narrativos ni tiempos muertos. Una mención a la fantabulosa BSO, muy bien elegida.

En el reparto tenemos que ningún personaje está cojo o desaprovechado, en el grupo de los Guardianes todos están bien compensados, destacaría que Star Lord , Rocket y Drax tienen los mejores puntazos del film. El resto de secundarios, cumplen, aunque Benicio del Toro es muy rollo salgo 10 segundos y se acabó.

En conclusión, si te mola el Space Opera, las aventuras espaciales rollo Mass Effect o Star Wars y si queréis ser felices, debéis seguir estas simples instrucciones:

1-Coger dinero.

2-Dirigiros al cine mas cercano que la ponga.

3-Ver la película.… Expand

Many saw it as a big risk, having been adapted from source material that isn't well-known, and whose characters were possibly too silly for general audiences to embrace. Those people couldn't have been more wrong if they tried, as James Gunn crafted something truly special here. At this point it became clear that the creatives at Marvel Studios should always be given the benefit of the doubt.

The movie has such a unique voice, and doesn't feel beholden to the cinematic universe that it exists in. The characters have excellent banter, and are a joy to spend time with. They are flawed, but likable. They grow over the course of the film. It's visually spectacular and has an enormous heart. The only things holding it back from perfection are a few moments that go a bit too over-the-top and a forgettable villain. Otherwise, Guardians of the Galaxy is a total blast.… Expand

Guardians of the Galaxy has got to be one of the funniest comic book movies of all time. The humor is on point, it does however let in some emotion which is nicely directed and does not have very awkward tonal shifts. There is sometimes some wonky CGI but that isn't too distracting. Ronan is not a very compelling villain and lacks in some areas. But Yondu (Michael Rooker) is a very good villain/anti-hero, he does not really want to kill Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) but he does not want him alive either. It's a fun chemistry. Guardians of the Galaxy is definitely in my top 5 MCU movies (for now) and is a solid movie in its own right, it is not interfering with the other MCU movies as much which gives it some breathing space.… Expand

Guardians of the Galaxy really nails the tone of a movie like this. It can be serious or straight zany. They really got the family dynamic and making all of the guardians lovable. They fight, they argue, they try to work together and you really get a sense of a family here. The marvel universe felt even bigger now with this film introducing new races, planets, technology and even giving Thanos more screen time. The worlds and creature you see feel like they good exist and are very inventive and entertaining. The humor is perfect. It has just enough and is timed perfectly and always feels natural. The action is straight up awesome. Every action sequence is shot so well and the action flows perfectly. The effects are colorful and gorgeous. The plot is great but the villain was pretty meh and didn't have much going for him witch is practically my only flaw. Definite recommend if you haven't seen this already.… Expand

I'm happy to say I certainly did!

'Guardians of the Galaxy' is so enjoyable. It's 121 minutes of pure entertainment. It does, at least to me, have a different feel to it when compared to the nine preceding MCU films. That's not a negative for either this or those earlier productions, it just felt different to me.

I particularly enjoyed the cast, which features - as is customary at this point - a load of well known names. Chris Pratt is, probably, the perfect choice for Peter, he carries the role extremely well - his humour sticks out, but he also performs the more serious stuff nicely.

Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Michael Rooker are all thoroughly enjoyable too. Vin Diesel (kinda?) appears to portray Groot, which pleases me as someone who is a big fan of 'Fast & Furious'. There are a few others in there, including Djimon Hounsou and Benicio del Toro. Terrific cast!

There is a lot to like here. I look forward to seeing the follow-ups to it.… Expand

In the beginning there has to be an introduction that will either show something/someone important that the hero is going to need, or it is going to be something/someone that will come useful in the end. Then in the middle of the movie the superhero is using his/her powers to either test them out or to fight a bad guy (mostly for losing so that it can pay off in the end). And then there is a big CGI fight in the end. That's it. The rest of the movie is just spent talking, doing side quests and occasional comic relief.

I had come to observe this when I was bingewatching all the MCU movies after the release of Infinity War. I wanted to watch all the movies so that I could catch up with everyone in time to watch Endgame. And seeing all the previous movies - all 3 Iron Man's, both the Thor's and Captain America's, The Incredible Hulk - they were becoming too predictable because of the pattern that they were following. But then this came. And it was filled to the brim with unique visuals and dazzling CGI. I went crazy over it within the first ten minutes. This entire thing was so interesting to watch, the characters were so much fun, it was like this thing itself could be a separate franchise.

Normally in any film whenever there are more than 4 main characters I'm not able to remember all the names. It's easy to remember in games, shows or books since they are long enough to get me to memorise the names. But a movie, especially a sci-fi one, is barely two hours long. And after that everything is done. And yet not only did I remember the names of all the characters in the movie, I also remember how they were introduced. This movie has something of a charm to it. And that's what makes it so watchable. The only problem I have with it is that, well, it does become cringy at times, especially during the character introductions. I do understand that was done because it's a kids' movie, but it's not a "just for kids" movie. The sense of humour could have been a little better.

I really wish there was a spin-off series dedicated just to GotG. It's an entire world within itself, filled to the brim with lores. It's kinda sad that it needs to be in pace with the rest of MCU, because this is the one franchise with the maximum amount of potential. Thanos was only one of them. There are more.… Expand

The retro soundtrack adds a layer of cool to the movie as well - instead of any hard rock, typical intense soundtrack backgrounds or EDM, we get Earth Wind & Fire, the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye and more. There are those moment of movie score in there, but the casette tape-style soundtrack is a tasteful addition that enhances the movie and, just like its characters, adds to the on-screen characteristics of the film.

TrulyAfter failing to enjoy his previous works like "Slither" and "Super," I consider myself to not be a James Gunn fan. However his work with this relatively unknown group of Marvel heroes manages to exceed my admittedly low expectations. Truly it's one of the best sci-fi movies in recent years as well as one of the best superhero movies of the year.

It all succeeds thanks to smart *ss humor, big action spectacle, an excellently crafted sci-fi world, and a surprisingly touching story about friendship. It expands the Marvel cinematic universe into new territory. Single-handedly this film opens it up to countless new horizons and potential stories.

The excellently cast group of oddball outcasts come together perfectly. Their back and forth is often very funny even if some jokes do fall short. Overall it's not as funny as a movie as it could have been, but that's easily forgiven considering how great the story surrounding them is.

You can see that the events here play a role in the grand scheme of things Marvel has crafted for the universe. Somethings might go over the heads of those who aren't familiar with these characters outside of the movies, and because of that a big character that kicks off events might seem confusingly out of place. However this movies self-contained plot never really falls short because of that, outside of what I just mentioned.

The movies greatest strength is how quickly it allows us to grow and like these characters. They're outcasts, freaks, and loners who come together and form their own sort of family. It leads to quite a few heartwarming moments.

The action is solidly delivered with cool alien technology and great special effects. The aerial dogfights can bring back some fan favorite Star Wars moments. There are definitely things out of the norm for a Marvel action movie in the action department.

Overall it's a great entry into the MCU. One that has potential to branch out from what Marvel is doing with their heroes on earth. There's a world here worth exploring and expanding upon, and I for one cannot wait to see what comes next.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" soars. It's one that every fan of the MCU needs to check out. Some elements may alienate those without years worth of knowledge and insight into Marvel's comic book universe, but overall I doubt it will leave anyone too disappointed. My total score for the movie is an 8.9/10.… Expand

The performances and action sequences are as excellent as well making for a superbly entertaining addition to the Marvel universe.

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).

The visuals are truly superb. Never in a million years did I think they could pull off something like this, but they did and it looks beautiful.

The main characters are pretty cool and different from your usual band of superheroes. Side characters are also pretty interesting but not as flushed out as they could have been. To be honest, I think they tried introducing us to too many different characters, which did make the their development sparse. The villain, while very ominous looking, is totally boring and bland. Seems more like a plot device to demonstrate the power of one of the infinity stone.

Overall:
Aside from a lackluster villain and a bit of over-saturation of side characters, it was allot of fun. I really do hope for Guardians 2 they give us a more interesting villain. Also, get Bautista some acting lessons. He looks the part, but clearly needs a bit more time working on his delivery.… Expand

Who would have thought that Marvel’s next highly entertaining, multi-million (hopeful billion) dollar cinematic adventure would be set in a futuristic space world, whose tonal and narrative flow is shaped around a retro-filled soundtrack withWho would have thought that Marvel’s next highly entertaining, multi-million (hopeful billion) dollar cinematic adventure would be set in a futuristic space world, whose tonal and narrative flow is shaped around a retro-filled soundtrack with songs dating from the 1960’s to 1980’s? With hits including Blue Swede’s Hooked On a Feeling, The Runaway’s Cherry Bomb, The Jackson 5’s I Want You Back and Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy is the epitome of silly, mindless fun at the movies. I’m not sure what Marvel Studios obsession with Marvin Gaye may be currently, but after having the song Trouble Man dictate the narrative for the highly impressive Captain America: The Winter Soldier earlier this year, it seems that the powerhouse studio is repossessing old concepts and ideas, and polishing them up quite nicely. With a bit of frantic, highly busy visual effects as well as engrossing dark physical and illicit family comedy, and presenting them in exuberantly exciting fashion for people of all ages to enjoy, Guardians of the Galaxy is a clear-cut winner.

There is no denying that Guardians may very well be Marvel’s own Star Wars for a new generation of highly diverse and eager young filmgoers; the film, which is inspired by the classic series, also does a great job spoofing much of the universe brought to life by George Lucas in the seventies. Guardians is, in many senses of the phrase, a roller-coaster ride of a film whose intention of fun is never questioned. If ever Disney wanted to shape a theme park ride around any of their properties, Guardians would surely be their best bet–never mind Pirates.

Geek culture has officially taken over cineplexes, and for the most part, so will Chris Pratt, whose turn as Peter Quill a.k.a Star-Lord, will surely be the clear victor at this weekend’s box office. Quill, a rambunctious outlaw whose fame as a nuisance to the galaxy is as important as his alias, leads a rag-tag group of criminal misfits to iconic hero status. Like most heroes, Quill isn’t quite sure he knows he’s a hero yet. Stealing and collecting junk from around the universe on his filthy Corvette-like spaceship he uses more like a bedroom for alien women than as a means of transport, Quill finally steals something so powerful, it threatens to destroy the world and him, forever. But unlike Indiana Jones, Quill doesn’t have to dodge booby-traps and outrun giant boulders, instead he just has to deal with an array of peculiar characters including; a crew of awful aiming mercenaries loyal to Ronan (Lee Pace) led by Korath (Djimon Hounsou), bounty hunters Rocket (a genetically modified, wise cracking racoon voiced by Bradley Cooper), a humanoid tree Groot (voice by Vin Diesel), an assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and a murderous maniac intent on vengeance Dax the Destroyer (former wrestler Dave Bautista).

Eventually, everyone involved with Quill and the orb he has stolen are imprisoned (except the bad guys of course). In prison, the five begin unlikely friendships based on trust, sacrifice and intimidation that allows them to escape prison and set a course to a buyer, The Collector (Benecio Del Toro) who will stop at nothing to have the newly stolen possession in his hands. Upon discovering Quill’s possession of the orb, Ronan gets direct orders from Thanos (Josh Brolin) to retrieve it. Led by his muscle Nebula (Karen Gillan), Ronan and his dark army go to extensive corners of the galaxy to retrieve the orb, and kill anyone in their way.

Guardians can rest assure that it is by no means a revolutionary film to defies the boundaries of the superhero narrative and the ‘stop the bad guy from destroying the world’ cliched storyline we have come to love and hate. Thankfully, the film is a practice of clever humour and nuanced physical slapstick that make its way into the superhero genre. Pratt does a star-lording job of leading a fresh group of actors to new heights in super hero comedy as well as interacting and getting the most from his voice cast.

Director James Gunn (Slither, Super) whose previous work makes no indication at all that his fit in Marvel’s world of intergalactic superheroes would work, does a surprisingly fantastic job writing and directing obscure comic book characters. Obvious losers in the comic book world, Gunn does an amazing job of making the Guardians cinematic heroes whose allure on screen, consisting of saturated visual effects and computer generated imagery, make for one of the greatest complete ensemble of the summer. So what if his overly ambitious score is distracting to viewers during intense scenes of built up drama and highly concentrated action. Gunn, has us, from the films first frames, hooked on a feeling of nostalgia and escapism that we haven’t felt for a long time.… Expand

Not a comic book geek. I find comics to be very lame. I find most of the movies even worse. Yet this movie was amazing. Dumb fun with fantastic visuals.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy plays on the fact that these are absolute no-body's of the comic book universe and evolves them into pop culture idols through vibrant special effects and charming humour from Chris Pratt and Cast.

Guardians of the Galaxy is packed with humor, action, adventure and visual splendor. It truly is something completely new from Marvel.

If you combine the action in Star Wars with the adventure in Star Trek you get Guardians of the Galaxy,Guardians of the Galaxy is packed with humor, action, adventure and visual splendor. It truly is something completely new from Marvel.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The latest in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe… hold on, is it still the latest? I’m reviewing these things too late for even the DVD release. Anyway, yes, it is still the latest. Avengers: Age of Ultron isn’t out until May, so I’d better get writing.

So this is the film I eschewed last summer in favour of Inbetweeners 2. I didn’t see Guardians of the Galaxy until it came out on DVD in December and quite honestly it’s the better of the two. I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew it was adapted from a lesser known Marvel title that’s appeared in various incarnations since the ‘60s. I knew that I know next to nothing about comic books beyond the fact that Superman, Batman and Spiderman are a thing.

The vast interconnected multimedia project known as Marvel’s Cinematic Universe is a tangled web indeed, and Guardians of the Galaxy is only one small strand. People talk about these comic book movies as though they just couldn’t wait for this beloved classic to hit the big screen, but this particular team of Guardians are only from 2008, so they’re hardly cherished childhood companions.

Forget about that. See Guardians of the Galaxy as a standalone sci-fi romp. See planet spanning empires, sprawling sci-fi cities, celestial worlds, fantastic alien races, spaceships, space prison-breaks, an atmosphere informed by the big leagues like Star Wars and Star Trek, but with none of those franchises’ inherent baggage.

Well almost; we do have Star Trek’s Zoe Saldana and Doctor Who’s Karen Gillan, suitably aliened-up in green and blue body paint as the duelling adopted ‘daughters’ of galactic arch-villain Thanos (Josh Brolin), a who employs a genocidal enforcer called Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) to do his dirty work.

The story follows the Han Solo-esque Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), a scavenger, smuggler and all round space scoundrel who finds a MacGuffin while searching an ancient temple. It’s a mysterious orb of unprecedented power, and soon everybody’s after him. Along the way, he acquires a disparate crew of bounty hunters and outlaws, including deadly assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana), genetically experimented-on raccoon Rocket (Bradley Cooper), taciturn tree-being Groot (Vin Diesel) and vengeful warrior Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista).

The cast is further padded by bit players including Glenn Close and John C. Reilly, although here we hit a slight snag in that the large cast of heroes and villains is almost too much for one film and many of them don’t receive adequate focus.

Under the titular moniker of the Guardians of the Galaxy, they are forced to put differences aside and team up against the much more despicable warmongers Thanos and Ronan. It might nominally be a superhero movie, but with such fantastic surroundings, it hardly feels like one. The characters too are not naturally noble, but outsiders and oddballs who have to really rally themselves to fight the good fight. Well, maybe that part’s not too different from the internal struggles or your average gritty 21st Century superhero.

A little like Futurama’s man-out-of-time Philip J. Fry, Pratt’s character Quill keeps it grounded with plenty of well timed 20th Century references (In fact the whole gang keep it light with plenty of well timed comedic interplay), as does the soundtrack which is all ‘70s and ‘80s rock pop and soul. In universe, it’s the playlist from Quill’s walkman, a cassette tape labelled ‘Awesome Mix, Vol. 1’ which he listens to while speeding through the galaxy. Needless to say, I swiftly downloaded said playlist.

It all looks fantastic and more importantly is great fun throughout, with plenty of light hearted comedy balanced with the action and a solid cast who work well together. I’m sad to have missed the spectacle on the big screen.… Expand

This new franchise has what looks like enough lore and unique creatures, planets and spaceships to rival that of StarThe most unique thing to come out of Marvel in years. Guardians of the Galaxy is a blast that everyone should check out.
This new franchise has what looks like enough lore and unique creatures, planets and spaceships to rival that of Star Wars and while maybe not written as tightly as a Star Wars film, this epic is a blast to watch from start to finish.
The films main selling points are the characters and the visual design and universe the film is set in. Our 5 rag tag heroes are so crazily unique and absurd all bursting with their own personality that they flesh out the film themselves; and then added to them is a dozen different races and planets to make their universe exciting. How are these characters unique though? Well, if you haven’t seen the front cover let me explain all characters to you:
Firstly we have Peter Quill a.k.a Starlord, the human of the group. What makes him a quirky and unique character is that he was abducted by aliens in the 80’s and now roams a completely different universe. This comes with him quoting many 80’s film references and pop culture references that he is a hilarious blast to watch, along with his own quick witted personality and charisma. He also then brings lots of 80’s music to life that add to the feel and tone of this sci-fi epic.
Secondly, we have Gamora; admittedly probably the most boring of the group. She is a Green alien who wants to betray her master. Her character acts as the most effective assassin of the group who is very skillful but just comes across as a rather average moral anchor for the characters and potential love interest.
Thirdly, we have Drax the Destroyer. He looks awesome, but is the character with the lowest IQ, not understanding sarcasm, metaphors or anything a little more complex in the English language. He is hell bent on revenge and will stop at nothing to avenge his fallen ones. A simple plot device for him but his idiotic but devoted character makes up for it.
And lastly coming in a pair as they should, are Groot and Rocket; the wackiest bros to come out of Hollywood in forever. Groot is a humanoid like tree, who has regenerative abilities and knows only 3 words; “I am Groot”. He is incredibly tough and will not leave his friends behind no matter what. Rocket on the other hand is a talking racoon that was altered with experimentation and now has an obsession with making explosives and other weaponry. He is also best friends with Groot, and more the voice of the two, although he is a bit of a dick, but he is awesome. These two act as GOTG’s equivalent to Han Solo and Chewbacca.
After taking a step back and looking at the worlds these characters inhabit don’t be surprised if you’re impressed. The visuals are beautiful, with an incredible mix of practical and visual effects (Star Wars episodes 1-2 should’ve taken note) and they are all polished and sleekly made making them feel authentic. After watching the film you want to find out more about this universe.
The only downsides to this movie are the story and the script (at times). The story is a typical people band up together and put differences aside to save a world and a crazy bad guy goes mad with power and so wants to destroy it; nothing new here. Then also the script has a few too many plot conveniences and makes the speed at which all characters suddenly become devoted to each other a little unbelievable, but somehow the chemistry between the group still seems to work well.
Overall, this film is a triumph and well worth the watch. Chris Pratt nails his character and is easily the breakout star of 2014, all other cast members are great and the visuals and lore of this universe and enticing enough to have already warrant itself a sequel, which I’m sure we all can’t wait for.
