Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) by Anthony G — 22 Dec 2017
I was blown away when I first saw this film, only really going to see it in theaters because I was a fan of Chris Pratt after watching Parks and Rec. This film was still just as funny and awesome after re-watching it.
The music choices are perfect, creating a tone that feels like an updated 80s space opera, which is further solidified with Star-lord's 80s pop culture references. Chris Pratt is hilarious as Star-lord, but its surprising to see how he excels at being a leading man.
The voice acting done by Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper as Groot and Rocket respectively, fits the characters well, with Diesel displaying a surprising emotional range using only 3 to 4 of the same words for the whole movie.
Bautista as Drax is solid comedy gold, literally the only choice to play this character. Although the characters of Ronan and Thanos are a little too typical as bad guys, I really didn't mind, as they were sort of like foils to the silliness of the main characters.
This is definitely one of my favorite movies.
