Film Review - Guardians of the Galaxy

Well finally, after all the hype Guardians of the Galaxy has been released! And all I can say is "I am Groot".

I am such a Marvel fan and I always find that the casting for all of their films are just perfect. After seeing a lot of the Avengers in their individual films and all together for Avengers Assemble it was nice to see something different. Being such a big Avengers fan I wasn't too sure how much I would have liked this film, but boy was I wrong! It was just pure brilliance from the 70s soundtrack to the depth of the characters that you saw in the film. I wont go into much detail of the storyline as I do not want to spoil it for anyone who will go and watch it, but be prepared.. It is like 3 hours long! My only criticism of the film is that there are a few scenes that could have been cut out (but every film is like that!) 

Star Lord actor Chris Pratt (from Parks and Rec) was surprisingly brilliant in this film! And I mean that in the nicest way possible. After watching and loving him from Parks and Recreation which you can find on Netflix he didn't really have a main role, he was just sort of Anne's comical boyfriend who they did show more of towards the end of the show but I never thought he could lead a film, but he did it very well!
Even though this film is set in space there are a lot of everyday references that brings it back down to Earth. Being set in space a lot of the film relies ion CGI, which I thought was pretty darn good. We saw the film in 3D and usually I do not like 3D films! But this was just really good in 3D. (I said 3D too many times then!)

 Another thing that really impressed me was Karen Gillam's acting. We are used to seeing her being the feisty red head partner in Dr Who, but seeing her play a sort of bad guy was good to see. 

Go and watch it today! As the quote from Chris Pratt's character from Park and Rec says below
