Guardians of the Galaxy... Mini review...
It's been called the boldest and riskiest move yet by Marvel Studios, with some eagerly anticipating theatrical failure...
But after sitting through 2hrs of awesomeness I can honestly and safely say that Guardians of the Galaxy is a treat for the senses with a brilliant foot-tapping, head-bopping soundtrack and great humour with lots of one-liners.
With a great cast and a wisecracking performance from Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star Lord who is clearly equal parts Han Solo and Mal Reynolds. Among other characters in the film there's Rocket played by Bradley Cooper who is positively brilliant and (dare I say it) probably one of my favourite characters in the movie.
I have to agree with some critics who are calling Guardians of the Galaxy "possibly the best Marvel movie yet".
Personally, I thought the movie was terrific. It's funny, it's sweet, it's exciting, it feels fresh and familiar all at once. it wears its heart on its sleeve, places tongue firmly in cheek, and never once gives up trying to impress us. It's bold to compare this to Star Wars, but the comparison is there.
I won't spoil the plot or tell you what characters from the Marvel-U appear in the movie but what I will say is that it's not a superhero movie. In fact, this is a different type of movie from the Marvel studios, and that's a good thing!
Oh and by the way, there's a scene after the credits although it's not a must see.
Many reviews are saying this is "Star Wars for a new generation" and I'll be honest, I have to agree! I enjoyed every minute of Guardians and I'm sure will too!
Here's looking forward to Guardians 2 in 2017.
