Guardians of the Galaxy Review

He eventually finds himself in an old tomb, rocking out to his rock and roll tapes that his mother used to give him before she died, trying to find a small silver orb to sell for a high price. Suddenly, he soon finds out that everyone who is anyone in the galaxy wants this particular item. It could mean the difference of life and death of every being in space.

I watched the movie Guardians of the Galaxy finally for the first time with my family a couple days ago and I have to say, it was one of the most exciting and hilarious movies from marvel in quite a while that I’ve seen. Making this movie was a pretty risky move by Marvel because unlike Spiderman and Captain America and the Hulk, the “Guardians” a relatively unknown to a lot of people. But, this particular risk paid off big time for them.

The whole movie is basically about Peter Quill, an earthling that was abducted as a child and raised by bandits or scavengers from space and grew up in the stars. He eventually makes a name for himself which people know him as a self-styled outlaw called “Star-Lord” and spends his days raiding areas in the galaxy for precious and valuable trinkets and objects to sell and make a living for himself.

He soon meets Gamora (a green being that was an outlaw of an evil empire that wants to use the orb to destroy everything, Drax (a huge man type giant who’s family were killed by the race that wants the orb, and Rocket and Groot (a genetically altered raccoon who uses big guns to get what he wants, and a interesting being made completely of roots, plants and trees who is just along for the ride). They are all thrown together in a prison out of circumstances and misfortune.

After working together to escape the awful prison, they feel all at once epic and intimate as a team. They try and work out their differences to extreme fights and arguments to eventually forge bonds of amazing friendship.

Not one character in this movie outshines another in this amazing group called the Guardians of the Galaxy. They all share their heroic and somewhat unheroic moments at different times throughout the movie. They fight each other, fight their enemies, and eventually fight for one another to save the galaxy.
