Not as brilliant as the other three superhero movies of the year. Still, it's loads of fun.

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2014)

Guardians of the Galaxy is a story about four outlaws consisting of, Peter Quill(Chris Pratt), Gamora(Zoe Saldana), Drax(Dave Bautista), humanoid tree Groot(Vin Diesel) & Rocket(Bradley Cooper) the anthropomorphic raccoon. After Peter Quill stumbles upon an orb, he is the victim of a manhunt. Turns out, that orb is high on the list of big bad, Ronan(Lee Pace) the accuser. Gamora wants to stop the chaos. Drax wants to avenge the death of his near and dear ones. Groot & Rocket want to get the huge reward by capturing Quill and bringing him back to the Nova corps and leader, Nova Prime(Glenn Close). Now, it is up to, Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Groot & Rocket to get the orb, before it falls into Ronan's corrupt & evil grasp.
Guardians of the Galaxy is an extremely good film. Like any other Marvel movie, the humor is there throughout the movie. There are also a number of Laugh-Out-Loud moments. The special effects are mind blowing. Guardians of the Galaxy is the best 3D movie of the year. The 3D has been put to great use from the first scene, to the last scene. Good job, James Gunn. What makers this movie so likable are the boy/girl- next-door characters and the outstanding performances. Chris Pratt is spectacular as Peter Quill. Pratt has worked really hard to get into the skin of his character. Quill is completely muscular and Pratt never loses his cheeky charm, which is common in all his movies. Pratt is outstanding in the emotional scenes as well. Zoe Saldana is amazing as Gamora. Dave Bautista is impressive as Drax. Vin Diesel is effective as Groot. Bradley Cooper is hysterical & full of energy as Rocket. Lee Pace is wickedly villainous as Ronan. Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close & Benicio Del Toro are awesome as Yondu, Nebula, Korath, Corpsman Dey, Nova Prime & The Collector respectively. Guardians of the Galaxy is a must watch. It's a movie for the underdog in all of us.
