In a Galaxy far, far Away...

    Two years ago, Marvel Studios released a film based upon a very low-key and relatively unknown comic book series titled, "Guardians of the Galaxy". In 2014, no one knew Guardians of the Galaxy would be such a sleeper hit at the box office and no one realized the eventual incline to huge popularity for these before unknown characters. James Gunn directed this box office underdog and boy could he not be happier now, especially because GOTG is now viewed as one of the best marvel films to date and helped many filthy casuals get more into obscure comic book characters.
     The cast of this comedic action packed intergalactic adventure features many star studded names such as the rising star Christ Pratt, Vin Diesel as the voice of the tree creature Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice as the wise-cracking space raccoon, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax and many others including Benicio Del Toro, Michael Rooker and John C. Reilly. This film tells the tale of young Peter Quill, Chris Pratt, after his mother dies he gets abducted by a spacecraft and suddenly ends up in space, where 30 years later he would become one of the biggest space pirates in the galaxy. This is a very unique idea for an origin story of a superhero and was actually one of my favorites.
     This film quickly ranked it's way to the top of most Marvel fans film lists, as it has almost the perfect blend of action, comedic relief and romantic or other drama, all thanks to director James Gunn and his lovely cast. From the acting to the colors to the cinematography to the story Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the best Marvel films to date!
