Review:
Marvel has given us some fantastic even great films over the
past decade or so, setting the bar pretty high for every new release. Guardians of the Galaxy keeps up that trend
by delivering an incredibly enjoyable sci-fi ride free of any overlapping story
arch. There’s a kinetic freedom in it
right from the start capturing a perfect mix of epic fun that’s sure to become
a life long memory for young children everywhere. James Gunn turns out to be a perfect choice
for this particular film since it takes advantage of all his talents, giving us
a less vulgar Tarantino light version of the super hero movie. His cast is equally impressive across the
board with Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana, always more comfortable in sci-fi,
leading the charge. Bradley Cooper’s
Rocket Raccoon and Vin Diesel’s Groot work so much better than expected, each
leaving an indelible mark on the film.
Throw in a heftier dose of Michael Rooker than expected, never a bad
thing, and you have one of the most enjoyable movie going experiences of the
summer and probably one of the better superhero films of all time.

good to hear this is good. the commercials didn't sell me on it.
ReplyDeleteIt's about as much fun as you can have at the movies!
DeleteSounds awesome! I am unbelievably excited for Guardians! I did not realize Michael Rooker was in the until, and since he was one of the more fun parts of the Walking Dead, I am interested to see him in this. Also, now that Marvel has made the Guardians of the Galaxy, just about anything is possible. Seriously, these are the least known Marvel heroes in a big movie that I can think of in a long time.

It's a really impressive movie, can't wait to see it again!
DeleteAgree with you although I scored it a couple of points less as I thought there were some really clunky script moments but it was such good fun I suppose it doesn't really matter.
ReplyDeleteI thought Michael Rooker's role was a cameo as he has worked with James Gunn before, I didn't realise that he would have a pretty large role!
Can't wait for the next one

It's not perfect but I forgive it because of the amount of fun it delivered. Can't wait for a sequel either!
DeleteLoved the style, characters, and humor. Heck, I loved basically everything in the movie! I liked how the movie was more of a sci-fi action comedy than a superhero flick. Chris Pratt was so good in the movie. It makes me want to watch the other seasons of Parks and Rec. I cannot wait for the sequel!

I'm right there with you man, it maybe the perfect summer movie. Has to be at the top of the list for sure!
DeleteWhen Guardians of the Galaxy is firing on all cylinders, you'll think there's nothing better in this world, or any other.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best times I've had at the movies in a good while!
DeleteThis film is extremely overrated. The film was not bad, but it certainly was not great. It was mediocre. Not worth seeing again.
