Guardians of the Galaxy is a smart, funny

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2014)

Marvel Studios' film Guardians of the Galaxy is a smart, funny movie.
Chris Pratt (from TV's Parks and Recreation) plays Peter Quill, whose cynicism masks an inner hurt: he was abducted from Earth as a little kid just after his mom had died of cancer and always carries around the old-fashioned Sony Walkman with a mixtape his mother made for him.
Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits.
Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand, with the galaxy's fate in the balance
Probably the best Marvel movie to date. It delivers every time on the humor, the visuals are incredible, and it did a great job at introducing a group of very distinct & likable characters that are definitely gonna catch on more & more with time.
Not to mention that the way the music is integrated into the movie is just plain awesome.
