This movie was directed by James Gunn also directed films like Slither and James Gunn's PG porn, I have to admit that i hadn't hear of James Gunn before Guardians of the galaxy came out but i have to say that i am impressed and i actually feel like i want to watch some of his other movies.
This movie is the 10th installment of the marvel cinematic universe following the likes of Iron man, Thor, Captain America and Avengers Assemble, this movie is about a boy called peter quill who was taken from earth in 1988 after the passing of his mother, the people who took him earth are called " Ravagers" who are a group of space pirates let by Yondu Udonta ( whos crew really remind me of the crew of serinity in the SiFi T.V show Firefly) the film then jumps twenty six years into the future and show us a grown up Peter Quill who was played by Chris Pratt, we are also introduced to Gamora who was played by Zoe Saldana who is known for her roles in star trek into Darkness as Nyota Uhura and her role in Avatar as Neytiri, Gamora is the adopted Daughter of the supervillan Thanos and is the last of her species she is a superheroine that is featured in many marvel comic book including the guardian of the galaxy comics. The main plot of the movie is all about an orb that Peter Quill( starlord) steals in the opening titles of this movie, It is reviled later on in the movie that the orb in fact contains an infinty stone but we will get that bit later on. After Peter steals the orb he heads to the Nova Corps home world Xandar where he is ambushed by Gamora in her attempt to take the orb for herself so she can finally escape from Ronan, Ronan is known in the Marvel universe as a Supervillain, he is a member of an alien race called the Kree, this Character was created the Legend himself Stan Lee and although he has been known as a villians character since he first appeared a Fantastic 4 comic book in 1967 over the past couple of years he has become more of a heroic figure, But in this particular movie he has been portrayed as the bad guy and is described as a terrorist by the Nova Corp (the intergalactic police). When Gamora attempts to steal the orb a fight breaks out between the two, But when the bounty hunting genetically engineered raccoon Rocket and his Tree-like Humanoid companion Groot realize that there is a substantial bounty on Peters head thanks to Yondu the two get involved, Rocket raccoon is known in the marvel universe as a superhero who is an expert marksman and a master of tacticain , Rockets features are a nod to the Beatles song Rocky Raccoon but since the relaunch of the Guardian of the galaxy comics in 2008 he has been seen to appear in various cartoon shows and video games, But in this movie he is almost inseparable from his companion Groot who can also can be known as Monarch of planets x even when they are incarcerated by the Nova Corp they still stay loyal to each other, and it is the prison scene where we first meet Drax ( Drax the destroyer) this Character first appeared in issue 55 of iron man in 1973, Drax was originally a human named Arthur Doghlas but when his family was killed by Thanos the being known as Kronos took Arthurs spirit and placed it in a more powerful body Drax the destroyer was born, i would like to say that as soon as all our guardians meet they all got on like a house on fire but unfortunately that isn't the case in fact the first time that Gamora and Drax meet he tryed to kill her because of her involvement in the horrific crimes that Ronan was committing all over the Galaxy which included the murder of his wife and Daughter, even though at this point in the movie all our guardians are in a high security prison known as the Kylm the amazing Rocket raccoon hatches a plan for them all to escape the prison and get to person who has offered to buy the orb of off Gamora for 4 Billion units, after the 5 guardians escape the Kylm they head to the place in the universe known as Knowhere which is remote criminal outpost in space that was built in the severed head of a celestrial being, It is here where they are meant to meant to meet the buyer. The buyer is reviled as Taneleer Tivan who is also known as the collector who was featured in the end of credit scene of Thor the dark world when we are shown siff asking him to watch over the either, But a drunken Drax makes a call to Ronan telling him where gamora was so that he could finally battle and kill Ronan, unfortunately when ronan arives with his army he defeats Drax and proceeds to find Gamora, Who is currently shilding herself from an explosion caused by the collectors asisstant loosing her mind and grabbing onto the infinty stone which resulted in a massive explosion, which ends with Ronan finally having possession of the infinity stone and Gamora and Peter getting Captured by Yondu and his army, which looked like certain death for them both untill Peter comes up with a plan, they convince Yondu to help partake in the biggest heist ever, they hatch a plan to break into Ronans ship and steal back the infinity stone and stop Ronan from destroying xandar which would be easy with Gamoras inside infromation about how the ship works but what the didnt take into account was Nebular who is Gamoras adopted sister and loyal contraid of Ronan, Gamora and Nebular had an epic battle but ended up with Gamora winning which then lead to the guradians bursting inot Ronanas safe room and killing him, Or so they thought they did but as Ronan was rising again rocket crashes through the walls knocking Ronan down again for the seconds time but also taking out Drax in the process, But now the ship was taking a nose dive towards the ground so Groot riskes his life to save his friends, he uses his power to surround the guradiands in what looks like a massive nest make out groots tree like features. When the ship crashes to the ground we are shown that the guardians survived well all but one, there a twigs all over the floor which in fact groot and i have to admit in this point in the film i did cry as rocket was hugging twigs crying out for groot, but just as the guardians thought all there trouble was over RONAN ROSE AGAIN! for the 3rd time in the movie at it is at this point in the movie where Peter Quill decides to distract Ronan by challenging him to a dance of which gave rocket enought time to shoot ronan so he would drop the inifinty stone and we are shown a slow motion shot of peter and Ronan both reaching to grab the stone, and this is the first part in the movies where the guardians all stand together and defeat Ronan and on the other bright side at the end of the film we are shown that Rocket re-planted Groot and we are shown the extremely cute baby Groot
The sound track for this movie is amazing the whole sound track of this movie is formed with classic songs from the 80s which include songs like Hooked on a feeling by Blue swede, Spirit in the sky by Norman Greenbaum and Escape(The pina colada song)
I have to say i enjoyed watching this marvel movie the most it had a good mix or action, adventure, 80s songs, humor and Chris Pratt topless I give this movie 5 stars ***** and i really hope that they make another one
