Reminded me of Star Wars in a good way.

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2014)

Big statement to say but it's been years since a space opera has made me feel like I did when watching the original Star Wars trilogy. The same escapism feel to it, the heroics, the sidekicks, the humor, this film was exceptional in all ways.
Guardians of the Galaxy gave me hope that the new Star Wars films just might be in the spirit of the originals rather than the serious tones of the later prequels not to mention features fantastic CGI characters that put Jar Jar to shame. Groot and Rocket are delightful.
I've enjoyed most of the Marvel movies of late and this on is my favorite. I would watch this again happily.
9 stars from me.
