Guardians of the Galaxy is directed by James Gunn and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista. It is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team known as Guardians of the Galaxy. This movie has one of the coolest intro ever, and its side effect may include some seat dancing.
After watching this movie, I am just wondering why did Disney acquire Lucasfilm(Star wars) for $4 billion, when they were sitting on a property like this. It's not like its trying to rip off Star Wars, its different but has the same heart.
Although this movie is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it doesn't feel like one. It certainly has a different vibe to it. This movie is so witty, there is no "comedian" in this movie, their characters are built a certain way that they bring comedic element to the screen without being absurd, which is rare. Music is a huge part of this movie, the way they used its soundtrack is commendable.
I would like to applaud Dave Bautista, he is playing the character called Drax the Destroyer and he really stood out, he was genuinely funny but the real star of this movie is Rocket Raccoon voiced by Bradley Cooper, he is the brain the behind the muscle(Groot), within 2 minutes you will fell in love with this gun wielding and talking Raccoon.
Although Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana are supposed to be stars of this movie, for me Pratt was good but Zoe didn't bring anything different to the character, she had her moments but she was least impressive for me in this movie maybe I felt that way because I am a huge fan of her work and I was expecting a lot, she was awesome in Star Trek and Avatar. Regardless I will be waiting for the Guardians to return and maybe they will save Earth this time.
