The Star Wars of this age

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2014)

I watched this movie with my father, and he said that he hasn't been this happy seeing a movie since he was a kid himself watching Star Wars in the cinema for the first time. This movie does just about everything right. There is amazing character development in the movie's short 2 hour run. Chris Pratt is the perfect actor to be Starlord, as he is very funny when the movie needs him to be yet also able to be the hero delivering the big speech or defeating the villain when needed. Zoe Saldana plays a great Gamora, she is the complete opposite of Starlord: cunning, sly, and yet still kick-ass in her own way. Because opposites attract, these two are a perfect fit for each other, and complement each other well. Rocket is hilarious and awesome, I mean who doesn't love a furry little creature with a huge gun? Groot is one of the movies funniest characters despite saying only three words over and over: "I am Groot." Drax is surprisingly funny, I defiantly wasn't expecting him to deliver one of the movie's funniest performances. All in all, the movie has beautiful visuals, a great dialogue, good jokes, and a great soundtrack to boot. In my opinion, this is the best movie Marvel has released yet. It is the perfect blend of action and comedy. Guardians of the Galaxy is just a feel good movie; my face hurt at the end of the movie because I was smiling so much throughout it. Do yourself a favor and go see this movie, it is surely one of the better movies of 2014.
