Greatest Marvel Film Ever Made

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2016)

I saw this awesome film 2 years back in the local cinema. I went with my good friend. We both had low/medium expectations for the film. The promo art seemed cool, but the trailer seemed somewhat cliché.
So my friend, the audience and myself sat in silence and awe as Starlord explores the new planet. It seemed so epic and serious. That is until Starlord started dancing to "Come and get your love", and at that point the audience and myself burst into laughter. And that's what it was like until the end of the film. It mixes in humour and seriousness, and it has such a good balance that the end product is almost perfect.
I was never really a Marvel Fan, but this film changed my mind. It was just so good. It had awesome action sequences, cunning humour and a few tear drops here and there. The characters are very interesting- they all have their own issues and goals, but eventually see the same goal and work as a team to achieve it.
It's impossible to talk about Guardians of the Galaxy without mentioning the soundtrack. The 70's and 80's nostalgia music is awesome, and suits the film in a somewhat unexpected way. I personally love the music used, and the Director James Gunn and his composer placed in the best places. From Come and get your love to Hooked on a feeling to Cherry Bomb, the music will get you clicking your fingers.
Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy is the finest marvel film. It has never been topped, and it's unlikely that'll ever be.
