A fun, entertaining addition to the MCU

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2015)

Like a lot of other comic book fans, I wasn't that familiar with Guardians of the Galaxy. After seeing the trailers for the movie, I just had to see the movie. Glad that I did. Guardians of the Galaxy is definitely one of my favorite MCU movies along with the Avengers, both Captain America movies, Iron Man 1, and the 1st Thor movie. Marvel did a great job taking risk on this rarely known group of ragtag misfits.
The movie does a good job of telling the audience what they need to know about the five main characters so their backgrounds wouldn't bog down the story-line. The characters in Guardians of the Galaxy are fun, quirky and memorable. My favorite characters are Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccon, Groot, Nebula, and Yondu. The one character I'm indifferent to is Drax. They should've pick someone better to play Drax the Destroyer. I really like how the story for this movie ultimately ties in with the Avengers-Infinity Wars movies and the rest of the MCU.
In the movie, Peter Quill aka Star Lord finds himself in trouble when he finds a mysterious Orb. He finds out that a Kree radical named Ronan the Accuser is looking for the item as well. Star-Lord gets help from Gamora (one of the daughters of Thanos the Mad Titan), Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon (a talking raccoon bounty hunter), and Groot. Ronan was a pretty cool villain. It was cool seeing more of Thanos in this movie after his cameo in the first Avengers movie. Guardians of the Galaxy has an awesome soundtrack of music from the 1970's and 1980's. I also enjoyed the humor in the movie. Guardians of the Galaxy is a must watch for everyone.
