August 2, 2014There aren't words to describe just how fantastic 'Guardians of the Galaxy' is. Like most people I went in expecting very little (despite the fact that James Gunn directed it and Michael Rooker is in it so it had to be good) and I was completely taken by surprise by the sheer spectacle of it all. Chris Pratt plays Peter Quill, a human who was abducted as a child and taken to another planet after his mom died. 26 years later he tries to steal an orb for a wealthy collector, only to be ambushed by the powerful assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana). The two of them chase after each other for a while and then get targeted by a couple thieves, Groot (a tree-person voiced by Vin Diesel) and Rocket (a genetically enhanced raccoon voiced by Bradley Cooper). They all end up getting arrested and sent to a maximum security prison where they meet the dimwitted but extremely strong Drax and they join forces to escape and fight together against a common enemy and, eventually, to try to save the galaxy from the certain destruction that would occur if the orb they were after fell into the wrong hands. Easily the best Marvel movie ever made, and possibly my favorite movie of the year, if you haven't seen it yet, do it now.
