Guardians of the Galaxy is a spectacular superhero movie that is one of the best in the entire Marvel
cinematic universe. The movie revolves around a diverse group of characters that is led by Peter
Quill, who happens to be a human space explorer that was abducted by aliens when he was just a
boy. Due to the fact that he has zero of powers, Peter, who is also known as Star-Lord, uses advanced
technology that allows him to travel throughout the galaxy. However, when he gets his hands on a
mysterious orb, he soon finds that vicious bounty hunters of all different sizes and looks are chasing
after him. Peter finds himself in an uneasy alliance with Rocket, a talking raccoon that loves shooting
guns, Groot, a treelike alien that can only say three words, Gamora, a green alien with a dark past,
and Drax the Destroyer, who uses his family's deaths as a fuel for vengeance. When the group of
misfits discover the true, raw power of the orb and it's placed into the wrong hands, the team must
learn to work together and try to save the universe, or millions will die.
The movie has just about it all. There's an absolutely astonishing plot that manages to amaze viewers
with its ability to unite relatable, unorthodox characters with an incredible dialogue that gifts
audiences outstanding one-liners and perfectly timed quotes. The vivid visual effects are just
stunning, and these superb special effects help to create an added punch of science fiction to the
movie, which creatively compliments the out-of-world features that the movie gloriously possesses.
As great as the heroes are, and although they are the stars, the actual villain in the movie isn't that
impressive. The main villain is mostly a CGI character that has a couple of lines, but his actual role
isn't that impressive. However, he is a somewhat crucial component of some pivotal scenes and is
able to contrast with the main characters, demonstrating the true meaning of what it means to be a
hero.
Guardians of the Galaxy is genuinely hilarious throughout and is definitely one of the funniest
superheroes movies out there. None of the jokes feel forced, and this allows the wittiness to slowly
build up throughout. The movie also hints at the importance of family and friendship, which allows
the movie to have a deeper meaning. This results in the movie having more heartfelt parts and an
overall adventure that sits well with fans.
Not only is the movie a huge success with fans, but critics were equally satisfied. Rotten Tomatoes
gave the movie an extremely high 91%, which is one of the highest ratings in the entire Marvel
cinematic universe. A whopping 94% of Google users liked the movie, which is a great sign.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a truly entertaining movie that manages to keep audiences engaged and
forever changes how people view superhero movies, while also becoming an absolute must see that
is good for people of all ages.
