A movie with a talking tree and a raccoon.. and somehow it works GREAT!

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2014)

This movie is a blast!
It had everything I want from a Hollywood Blockbuster Movie. It follows a basic formula/recipe for a adventure movie, but it does it amazingly well. You can tell how things are going to pan out, but you're so in love with the characters, the interactions between them and the awesome special effects, so it's not a bad thing that the story is easy to follow, since the characters are so good!
It had the humor, it nailed the emotional aspects and it never got slow or boring. The villain could be better, but I actually sort of liked him. He was a scary bad ass who wanted to end Xandar, and I would rather have great, funny and interesting heroes, than a great villain and a boring hero (I'm looking at you The Dark Knight!!).
I give this movie 10/10.
