Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) by Hawkeyewii — 20 Aug 2014

I have seen this twice and leaving the theater the first time I thought I was just feeling that "wow" effect after seeing a movie. I waited about a week and saw it again. I enjoyed it even more. Now it has been almost a week since then and not only do I want to see it again, but my thoughts on the movie have only improved since I first saw it. I still can't completely decide if this is the best Marvel movie or second best next to the original Iron Man. I just can't come up with many flaws for this movie.

The chemistry is top notch between the characters even more so than Avengers. This movie was also much more funny than any of the comedies I have seen this year. Couple that with amazing action and special effects and you have a grand slam of a movie. I have never not wanted a movie to end so bad. This might have been the most fun I have had at a movie ever.

One of the most intergral parts of the movie was the soundtrack which had no original songs on it. This is not a complaint, no, no, far from it. I immediately wanted to listen to the classic tracks from the 70's on a cassette player no less right when I left the theater. Don't be surprised if old orange foam headphones start selling like crazy.

The wait for Guardians of the Galaxy will be excruciating. I used to not be able to wait for Avengers 2, but this has surpassed anything that Avengers ever gave me. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is now my most anticipated movie for the next few years.
