Leave it to Marvel to make something like this work.

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2014)

The movie is about an extremely oddball group of beings who are brought together by circumstances and have to work as a team to accomplish their own goals. There is Peter Quill, the self proclaimed Starlord and the only human in the group, Gamora, a green skinned alien assassin, Drax, a very literal tough berserk alien, Groot, a walking Tree and my favourite, Rocket, a raccoon. Leave it to Marvel to make it all work with glorious results.
Not two, not three but FIVE main characters and this movies somehow manages to pull it off. It kinda did it one movie what Avengers did with six movies. Every character gets their fare share of character development and screen time. The villain was however a typical super hero villain though, which was a shame considering how great everything else is in the movie. The pacing was great, you either were laughing, were being entertained by action or were being drawn in by the drama.
I believe Marvel has perfected humor in action movies. It was just SO GOOOD in this, better than most comedies out there. I laughed a LOT during the whole movie. It was nothing over the top or crude/toilet humor or anything like that, it was just plain old good humor with PERFECT delivery. What's even more amazing is that how well the humor was blended with action and drama. I think this is the epitome of how comedy should be added in blockbusters. Kudos to Marvel and James Gunn (Director).
The action scenes were great and very entertaining. The CGI was amazing. The soundtrack was mostly old 70's and 80's song, which went with plot of the movie and really worked well.
Simply put, This is just PURE ENTERTAINMENT. You'll enjoy the heck out of this movie. One of the best Marvel (MCU) movie, and one of the best of this year so far (Amazing summer season).
9/10
