Guardians of the Galaxy Review

Hello fellow readers and movie fans. Today I wanted to post a review for Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy! To be honest, I got nothing negative to say about this movie, as I went into the theatre thinking it was going to be stupid. I'd seen the previews, but knew nothing about the comics or even ever heard of them before, so I figured it was just a movie marvel threw together to make a quick buck with some effects and actors we knew to get us in the theatre. How Wrong I Was!

The Guardians of the Galaxy had everything I had been looking for in so many recent movies that let me down. Humor, romance, action, and a whole lot of heart. I guess going in with such low expectations made it that much more enjoyable for me, but I'm not trying to take anything away from the movie by saying that. Even if I had gone in with high expectations I would have loved this movie. The characters are something new and the chemistry between them all just works in a way that I haven't seen in recent films. The idea behind some the characters are even more priceless and unique. Drax "The destroyer" was probably one of my favorites in this tale. He is the biggest and baddest of the whole group but his comedic aspects make him more enjoyable to listen to, than to watch kicking butt. 

"His people are completely literal. Metaphors are gonna go over his head," said Rocket, the talking Raccoon. 

"Nothing goes over my head... My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it."
There are fun little moments like this all throughout the movie, and every character has their own little moments of genius smart ass humor, and it really sets them up as a dysfunctional family in a lot of ways.
All and all, the only thing I was missing from this whole adventure was an actual romance between the two characters you watch the whole time and KNOW are gonna hook up eventually, but its just not gonna happen in this movie. I'm all for building up a relationship and all that but the romantic in me wants to see more than just a few hints to it now and again, especially when its so painfully obvious they are gonna end up together. That aside, this movie is amazing and worth the watch.
4.5 outta 5
