A breathe of fresh air into an already thriving Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2014)

"Guardians of the Galaxy" is the movie we've all been waiting for. It combines a pleasant mix of comedy and action to give us what many believe, including I, that this is Marvel studios best film to date. From the perfect cast to the engrossing story, this film is one of the best and should go down as one of the best superhero movies to hit the big screen. Chris Pratt is perfect as Star-Lord, a brash young adventurer, born on Earth, but taken as a young boy when his mother passed away. He sees himself at odds with an evil ruler known as Ronan the Accuser when he tries to steal an orb containing an infinity stone, yes that's right, an infinity stone. Fate then leads him to meet up with the daughter of Thanos, Gamora, two thugs trying to collect their due, Groot and Rocket, and finally a revenge driven maniac known as Drax, who is in my opinion one of the brightest surprises of the film. They then must put aside their differences and team up to stop Ronan and his army from using the infinity stone to wipe out the galaxy. Now if I was forced to point out a negative I would say that the villains are a bit under developed but that's about it. Now all i can is bring on Age of Ultron!
