Brilliant!!

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2014)

Another hit from the Marvel Universe! You know how sometimes, when you watch a film, and there are that many points where it just feels slow and a little boring? Well, none of that here! It's not like it just constant action either though! As with most of the other Marvel films up to now, it has the perfect balance of emotions; humour, sadness, a little romance and then a bit more action to keep you entertained. Let's face it, when you heard about the "talking raccoon", you thought, "oh! this is where Marvel finally goes crazy and loses the plot!" but no, all the outrageous characters combine superbly, to create this well rounded movie. And what more can I say? Other than... Zoe Saldana, WOW! hehe. Finally, while watching this film, you HAVE to listen out for the soundtrack too! Absolutely fantastic, and it just tops the whole thing off! Classic 70/80's hits set the mood for some of the more light- hearted scenes.
SPOILER ALERT:
When watching this film, you don't need to bother staying for the end-credits clip. It's totally not worth sitting through the 15 minutes of credits to see a lead-in for a possible remake of the 1986 film "Howard the Duck"! Rocket the Raccoon is quite enough!
