Related Media: There are comics based on this group of heroes a few decades ago but I read that the comics are not that good. The heroes featured in the comics are also not the five in the film.

What’s it like? A human man, a green female alien, a pink male alien with scarred skin, a cybernetic racoon and an anthropomorphised tree must put their differences aside to team up to defeat an alien bent on revenge. Just like the Marvel’s Avengers story then… The story is fun, hilarious and fresh, the soundtrack is nostalgic and the action scenes are well done. >.

Pros:

> 1. It is great to have the Marvel franchise go in a new direction and come up with fun new characters that most people have not heard of. >.

2. The story is fun and hilarious. >.

3. The soundtrack consists of several popular songs from the 70s and 80s that were very nicely placed in the film. >.

Cons: >.

1. It was slightly poorer towards the end. Only slightly though. >.

How would the different age groups rate it?

Children: Excellent.

Teenagers: Excellent.

Young adults: Excellent.

Medium age adults: Excellent.

Old adults: Good.

5/5 (No half scores) - Good enough to watch it in the cinema and to buy the DVD.
