Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) by Nathan C — 24 Jul 2016

Easily Marvel's biggest gamble so far. Who'd think taking characters from a forgotten and hardly known comic book and turning it into a major blockbuster would be something that would work? James Gunn proved to everyone that it was possible as he directs one of the most thrilling space adventures we've seen since the original "Star Wars" trilogy.

Full of heart, visual spectacle, terrific performances and featuring one of the best soundtracks ever put into a movie, the film is fun and fresh and an instant winner.
