Like Star Wars reborn. Surprise of the year.

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2014)

A fantastic film, very funny and hugely enjoyable.
It honestly felt like I was watching something in the order of the original Star Wars films back in the day they were released. I could engage with all the characters even though they are each so completely different.
The way the story brought them together was very clever. The film was put together with a lot of flair and professionalism I think. There is nothing I can really fault here.
The effects were amazing but really only added to a great story, great dynamic acting and touching scenes where and when required. Fun for the whole family I would say. And it never got boring, the film just got on with it for 2 hours.
This was far more entertaining than the quite average and slightly old fashioned approach that we saw in Avengers in my opinion. This really blew it out of the water in fact. More zany, funny and fast past.
One of the best films of 2014 so far and another super Disney related release after Frozen and Maleficent.
I seriously doubt the new Star Wars movies can top this but who knows.
Guardians really felt like a proper Sci Fi fantasy refresh, which we needed I think. Happened to catch a bit of one of the Star Wars prequels on TV after I came home from the second viewing of Guardians and wow what were those films dry and drab. More like political dramas in comparison to Guardians! A real lack of fun I think is safe to say.
Can't wait for Guardians to come back. Hope it's as good as this first outing we got.
