Guardians of the Galaxy

Marvel has been getting better and better. In my opinion their only major blunders were the Hulk and Iron Man 2. Now they make their biggest bet yet and risk it all on a movie starring characters no one (except the nerdiest of nerds) really knows. Everything about this movie is different, but that doesn't mean it's bad.



Peter Quill was just another kid in the 1980s. Until he is abducted by aliens and set on an adventure of a lifetime. 26 years later Peter Quill, now calling himself Star-Lord, is a smart mouth, thief, and opportunist. In a collision of paths revolving around his latest theft he is sent to prison with Gamora, Rocket, Groot, and Drax. They all have their own motivations. They all kinda hate each other. But to save the galaxy, they all have to work together.


No building suspense: IT'S FREAKING AWESOME!!! Sure it's not without a few problems but when one is laughing as often as I did, while watching eye popping special effects, and listening to awesome classic hits like Hooked on a Feeling, The Pina Colada Song, and Ain't No Mountain High Enough...No problem is big enough to be a real problem. Two such problems are: Not enough Thanos and Not enough of The Collector. I maintain that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the best movie of the year so far, but Guardians is by far the most fun. If you go (And why would you not?) I encourage you to check out 3D because it's worth it.  A

P.S. I have to say Guardians also can boast about having the greatest post credits scene-EVER. And that's all I can say about that...it's freakin awesome.
