Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) 8.6
Act 1 - 8.5

Emotional opening
Movie is really fun
Comedy that works for each character
Well developed characters that you care about right away
Every character has their own traits and issues that they have to overcome
Soundtrack sets the tone of the film right away
Music is a plot device in this film that is an emotional driving force for Peter and a connection to his mother
Great connection between Peter and Gamora
Ronan is an unmemorable villain but serves his purpose in this film
Does a good job expanding MCU while building a whole new team in one film
They form a great friendship and dysfunctional family
Love the scene when they are all on Yondu's ship and affirm their friendship
Great aesthetic to the film
Great visuals
Love when griot sacrifices himself for his family and finally says we are Groot
Amazing ending in a dance off
A truly incredible ending that hits with comedy and great emotion
My favorite MCU film
