Knocks it out of the Galaxy!

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2014)

I had heard & read so many wonderful things about Guardians of the Galaxy, yet I didn't want to get my hopes up because this has happened with many films for me in the past, and I was disappointed all too often. This movie was executed so perfectly! It was by far one of the best films I've seen of this kind in a long, long time. Not only is the movie filled with action and thrills, but it's hilarious too. This must have been what it was like to some degree for those who saw Star Wars in theatres back in 1977. Even though the movie is of purely fictional substance, you believe it. It's the kind of film that sucks you in from start to finish (which, of course, you'll want to stay for the end of the credits, as with all Marvel movies). I truly cannot wait for this movie to come out on DVD. The acting was great and the dialog was fantastic. We were laughing the whole way through. Chris Pratt was fantastic as Peter Quill. He really is a master of his craft with perfect comedic timing, not to mention he's rugged and charming, in the same vein of Han Solo, with a much bigger sense of humor. Even Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper as Groot and Rocket were fantastic, all with playing animated characters (Vin Diesel only has one line said through the whole movie but still manages to get you laughing the whole way through). Zoe Saldana kicks major space butt and Dave Batista was awesome as Drax! There really isn't anything bad I have to say about the movie. I cannot end my review without commenting about how fantastic the music is in this film as well! Such an awesome soundtrack. Seriously, go see this movie! You will not be disappointed! Guardians of the Galaxy was simply MARVELous :)
