Guardians Of The Galaxy
Directed: James Gunn
Ime a huge fan of the Marvel Universe movies. Some have been fantastic, some have been average, and some have been pretty poor, but as a whole they have all been very entertaining, exciting, and pretty damn cool. One thing I would criticise about all of Marvels films as of late was that they all started becoming abit repetitive. After years of Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America nothing felt fresh, or new. Everything felt pretty much the same, which ime not saying is a bad thing because those movies where great. Ime just saying Marvel needed to inject a spark into there movies and damn did they deliver with Guardians Of The Galaxy.
If ime totally honest I only seen this movie for the first time last night, so my excitement is still pretty much fresh. For the past few months people have kept telling me how good this movie was and how I needed to watch it. But the problem was the trailer did nothing for me. A talking raccoon, a living tree, and a former wwe wrestler hardly had me filling with joy. So what i did was I read some reviews on here and decided to finally give it a shot, and damn am I glad I did. Guardians Of The Galaxy is one of the most exciting movies I've seen in a long while. It's action packed, funny, emotional, and just so damn fun that I just wanted more. The talking Raccoon that put me off this movie in the first place ended up being the highlight of the movie. The former wwe wrestler that had me cringing actually had me laughing. And the Tree man that looked lame and stupid was actually a great character. The whole movie was just a complete surprise and a pleasure to watch.
Overall Guardians Of The Galaxy is marvel at it's best. Great characters, great cast, and some really cool action that's looks amazing. This is certainly a movie I will be re-watching very soon and a movie that I would place is my current top 50 movies without a doubt.

Movie Trivia According to Vin Diesel, his performance as Groot helped him through a dark time in his life; he was dealing with the loss of his best friend and "Fast and Furious" co-star Paul Walker: "It was the first time I came back to dealing with human beings after dealing with death, so playing a character who celebrates life in the way Groot does was very nice."
James Gunn stated that Chris Pratt's audition was so good, that he was prepared to offer him the role even if Pratt did not lose weight and get in shape in time. Gunn joked that he was willing to CGI a six pack on Pratt's body. However, Pratt asked him to give him 6 months to lose 50 pounds and he ended up losing 60 pounds.
