Another great entry from Marvel, a next step

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2019)

This movie was breathtaking, with stunning visual effects and great characters with a smart, witty and funny script aswell as a kickass soundtrack. The choice of Chris Pratt as Star-Lord was great and he did awesome in the film. Groot was hilarious and so was Rocket and Gamora. Drax is my least favourite of the four but he is still entertaining and gets some great laughs throughout the film.
The movie is very well directed by James Gunn with a very unique and fresh looking colour pallete. The set design as well as the look of all the weapons and spaceships are unique too which all to look very appealing even if the CGI does look a little fake in some of the scenes. The villan could have been stronger too with a deeper backstory, but Thanos in Infinity War made up to that with Marvel villans getting better as the films go along.
This was a massive blockbuster hit when it came out with loads of hype surrounding it, now since the hype is still strong for this movie series since the third one is yet to come out. This is still my favourite of the two that has currently been released, not knocking the second one though, which visually is vastly superior, but in terms of writing, character and humor, this one takes the cake. It has excellent rewatch value aswell which entertains every time with the jokes just as funny as they were when you watched it the first time. So much imagination was put into the locations of this movie and it has it's own unique identity and feel. It's a huge departure from the Avenger's movies for sure, but this is not the Avengers. This is something very different entirley
