Easily one of Marvels Best Movies yet,

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2014)

Guardians of the Galaxy is a fantastic movie with a very well developed plot and an outstanding cast. This movie is easily some of Marvels best work yet, it is hilarious, action packed and also, at times, very sweet. The soundtrack is probably one of the finest I've seen in any movie, it had me humming along to several different songs throughout.
The only thing I think this movie is missing is a love story, I know it's cliché but they do usually serve as a great contribution to the plot, particularly with superhero movies, and it serves as great character development. Something was teased between Star Lord and Gamora, but it was never developed or fleshed out any further, could be a good one to establish more in the sequel.
Chris Pratt is outstanding as Peter Quill, it seemed like he was stuck playing supporting characters in comedies for the rest of his career, but that is all going to change after this. Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista also deliver great performances, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel's voice work as Rocket and Groot was stellar and the film would not have been half as good without them.
James Gunn, a relatively unknown director, got to make this movie, Marvel took a chance on him and it ended up working perfectly, I hope he returns to direct the sequels this movie deserves, I want to see more from these characters. Guardians of the Galaxy is very unique, funny and at times quite emotional, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great action or sci-fi.
After the discovery of a powerful orb, Peter Quill must team up with four other outlaws to protect it from getting in to the wrong hands.
Best Performance: Chris Pratt
