A Great Watch! 9/10

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2014)

Review: I really enjoyed this movie! The director mixed up the comedy with intense action, just right and the individual characters all brought a different flavour to this well made movie. The script is very well written and the action scenes are impressive. Personally, the thing that surprised me was how funny the movie was. I really wasn't expecting there to be so much wit in a movie in this genre. That is what makes the movie original and a joy to watch, especially the soundtrack which cracked me up. The tree and the raccoon were brilliant and I loved the little bonus scene at the end. Anyway, I can't wait to see the sequel and I hope that they bring back the original characters who made this epic film so great. Brilliant!
Round-Up: Chris Pratt, who has starred in movies like the Five-Year Engagement, 10 Years and the Delivery Man, was a great choice by the director. His comedic style of acting really works and he's a great leader to such a versatile crew. When I saw that Dave Bautista was in the film, I really wasn't expecting that much from his usual terrible acting, but he was surprisingly, a brilliant addition to this crazy bunch. Zoe Saldana has made some excellent choices in her career. Not only has she starred in the biggest film ever, she has also had major roles in the new Star Trek and Colombian. With some brief scenes with Djimon Hounsou, Glenn Close and Benicio Del Toro, this movie has really been thought through properly and it has to be one of my favourites for this year.
Budget: $170million Worldwide Gross: $771million (WOW!)
I recommend this movie to people who are into their comedic space movies about a man called Quill who steals the Orb and tries to protect it from getting in the wrong hands, with the help of his new found friends. 9/10
