IMDB Summary: Light years from Earth, 26 years after being abducted, Peter Quill finds himself the prime target of a manhunt after discovering an orb wanted by Ronan the Accuser.
Never thought I would be so into a Marvel film, and I most certainly never thought I would cry because of a Vin Diesel character. On top of all of this, I definitely never thought I would identify with a trigger happy raccoon. Yet, with all of these expectations, I was pleasantly surprised with Guardians.
Chris Pratt (Andy Dwyer from Parks and Rec) plays Peter Quill, space thief extraordinaire. When he becomes tangled with a devious plot involving some weapon to destroy the universe (cheesey, I know, let me get through this plot line) he befriends an unlikely group of alien misfits.
I’m not that into the films Marvel has been putting out as of late (sorry I’m not sorry) but I must say, this was a very good movie. I found it entertaining, and I thought it had much more of a short term plot as well as a continuing storyline for inevitable Guardians sequels. I knew Chris Pratt had it in him to carry a lead role ever since his minor yet serious spot in Zero Dark Thirty. Zoe Saldana didn’t necessarily surprise me, in fact she was incredibly reminiscent of her Star Trek roles in this film. This film involved lots of witty dialogue and hilarious 80s references. For some reason, maybe it was the outlandish costumes and characters, but Guardians had a Fifth Element flare to it that I thoroughly appreciated.
Guardians was a surprisingly good film, I do recommend this!! It’s hilarious, it’s pretty well thought out for a superhero movie, and despite plenty of corny moments it has great scenes.
Rate:7.5/10
