A great spin off of the MCU with a fresh set of characters and an original story

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2018)

Guardians of the Galaxy stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradly Cooper, and Vin Diesel as they form together to defeat the terrible Ronan who is trying to destroy the universe with an infinity stone. And this movie is nearly flawless and stands up to even The Avengers with its team forming comic book mashup.
Now legendary writer and director James Gunn wrote this fantastic script that fits every actor perfectly. With Quill being so sarcastic yet heroic in this film in all the wrong ways. Drax with his lack of understanding metaphors and is great comedy of stating everything as bluntly as possible. Rocket with his hilarious sarcasm and big mouth with his amazing jokes about his height and species. And of course groot being the most lovable character in the MCU to date with his small vocabulary and big heart. And even with the writing the smaller characters and with its perfect balance of comedy to story telling makes the script a very enjoyable part of the film.
Directing wise Gunn did an amazing job with the direction making this film feel so far away from the MCU but so relevant and relatable and familiar at the same time. Having some fantastic scenes like the final battle scene and the jail scene makes this film so memorable and fun and makes you guessing till the end on what will happen.
The acting all around is amazing as well. Pratt as star Lord is one of the best casting since Robert Downing Jr. As iron man. And with the equally great voice acting by Cooper and Diesel makes it almost forgettable that they voiced them. And with the amazing make up on Rooker, Baitista, and Saldana makes them recognisable and makes them as characters fun and fills the screen with joy.
This movie is a great film to add to the MCU and one of the most memorable for its lines and scenes with fantastic characters and a great plot.
Guardians of the Galaxy gets a 9.25/10
