Lights, Camera, Action (Review Time)

Guardians of the Galaxy

Here, from the furthest edge of the galaxy, comes the weirdest proposition yet: a superhero gang that includes a talking tree and a wise-cracking raccoon. They're determined to save the world even if they have to rip through some bad guys. Sounds like a typical action movie. Don't get me wrong it is, but there is more to it. 


The main character whose name is Peter Quill goes by the alias of Starlord and was abducted from his parents as his mother was dying from cancer by some people who aren't necessarily human. Quill had found himself in possession of a mysterious orb that certain ruthlessly villainous parties would like to have, and this compels him to team up with a ragtag crew of space adventurers whose story takes place in surroundings made to look like classic sci-fi book. There is a huge creature in the shape of a tree called Groot, the enormous musclebound, oddly coloured hombre Drax, a female alien with the off-putting name of Gamora, and Rocket, a cunning little talking raccoon. The witty satire of the cast will make you wan to keep watching to the end and I suggest you go see it if you haven't yet. 9/10
