Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) by Codyngore — 01 Aug 2014

From the 70s karaoke/pop soundtrack to the old school space opera feel, this movie was stellar! Marvel's introduction to the cosmic story arc couldn't have been introduced better. This movie had huge shoes to fill as the only major bridge between Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron and it delivered! Thanos, Marvels most imposing and important villain was still kept on the slow burner and appeared only slightly more than he did in the Avengers post credit scene but even without him showing his true colors he was still pretty damn menacing.

Also, Chris Pratt proved to the world that he is ready for a leading role in his quirky, sarcastic and comedic role. All of the supporting characters DELIVERED as well from Bautista's Drax proving his merit as an actor to Zoe Saldana proving she is fit to play the deadliest woman in the galaxy.

The two that stole the entire damn movie was Rocket Racoon and Groot, they transferred flawlessly from the comics and brought heart and soul to this film.
