Marvels most fun, creative characters.

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2019)

The success of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" reveals how comic-book fans are tired of the traditional super-heroes without flaws and prefer more round, quirky anti-heroes that take us to unique settings. James Gunn's imaginative film is a wildly fun and exciting adventure that excels not only at just having a ball and generating a stylish and explosive sci-fi hit but interesting and genuinely funny characters. The combination of misfits that is Peter Quill, Rocket the Raccoon, Groot, Gamorah, and Drax is a dynamic group of charisma and energy that is too perfect to resist. Rocket the Raccoon alone is one of my all-time favorite characters for his perfectly launched one-liners and uplifting charter arc. James Gunn does a great job having us laugh both at and with our hooligan heroes while also getting us to actually care for these strange beings due to their complexities as characters. Marvel should learn from "Guardians of the Galaxy" due it how it fills the screen with stunningly imaginative visuals, while also balancing authentic comedy with a richly investing story. This is an absolute joy ride of a film.
