Good fun, and love the soundtrack.

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2017)

Guardians of the Galaxy was a bit of a surprise package for me. The movie is good fun and a decent time filler thanks to the charismatic Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star Lord, and the revival of many old songs featured heavily in the soundtrack. It could have been dismissed as loud mindless nonsense, but Guardians of the Galaxy proved to be a big hit.
After being abducted by space pirated following his mother's death, Peter Quill/Star Lord (Chris Pratt) finds himself making a living on Planet Morag as a space adventurer. Peter finds himself being hunted by bounty hunters sent by Ronan (Lee Pace) after he steals an orb. After being captured by Nova Corps officers and imprisoned, Quill manages to break out after forming an uneasy alliance with fellow ragtag misfits Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel), Gamora (Zoe Saldanda), and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Battista). When the orb's true power and the cosmic threat it poses is revealed, the group of misfit heroes must band together to save all of mankind.
Chris Pratt's Peter Quill/Star Lord is a mixture of Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and Marty McFly. Chris Pratt was well known as an overweight comedic actor who drastically reinvented himself and his career by embarking on a very strict fitness regime and turned himself into a heroic leading man with a new found appeal amongst many fans.
Zoe Saldanda, Dave Battista, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper round out the supporting cast, but there is a further star studded cast with Michael Rooker, Glenn Close, John C Reilly, Djimon Hounsou, Karen Gillan, Lee Pace and Benicio del Toro also feature in the movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a fun ride and is something you just can sit back and enjoy. Chris Pratt's charisma and the brilliant soundtrack also add to the appeal.
Enjoy yourself.
7/10.
