A touch of Serenity

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2014)

Usually I will go to see movies that I've anticipated for some time. Although Guardians was on my radar, I wasn't sure it was worthy of a cinema visit until I read the reviews here. I wasn't disappointed. The running time races by as the Marvel mayhem continues and the story pings from set piece to set piece. The welcome addition here is the humour, reminiscent of that other Marvel auteur Joss Whedon and his pinnacle of sci-fi, Firefly. The story threads link to a worthy final battle and at the end there are enough loose threads left to make you want to fast forward to 2017. One of the few films I've seen where I would gladly go straight back in and watch again, go see for a great evening's entertainment.
