James Gunn’s latest film, “Guardians of the Galaxy,” is another superhero movie that targets children, adolescents and lovers of heroes from the Marvel comics. This movie was able to engage its audience by employing plenty of humor and sci-fi action.
Like other superheroes, Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), who also goes by “Star-Lord,” had a troubled and life-changing past. In 1988, his mother passed away and he was abducted by space pirates. Twenty-six years later, Peter Quill obtained an orb valuable to the antagonist of the film, Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace), who then stopped at nothing to retrieve it.
After being imprisoned for a fight, Star-Lord joins forces with Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax the Destroyer (David Bautista), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) in order to escape the prison and keep the orb safe from Ronan.
The actors in this film made their characters serious and humorous at the same time during most of the movie. Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel were the comedians of the movie with their characters’ motives and quotes.
For example, Groot had only one line, but it was a signature gag line throughout the movie and it was “I AM GROOT,” which made the audience laugh every time.
With the addition of the Silver Linings Playbook star, Bradley Cooper made his character Rocket Raccoon humorous because of his fast-talking speech patterns, which both Cooper and Rocket have in common.
Pratt also made the audience laugh throughout the film with his character’s way of handling certain situations. One example was when Star-Lord was searching for the orb while he was dancing to the beat of his music, which made his character amusing.
“Guardians of the Galaxy” is about the same as the other Marvel movie “The Avengers” in that both of these films follow a group of superheroes that band together to keep their universe safe from evil.
The heroes in “The Avengers” are popular in the Marvel Universe, but “Guardians of the Galaxy” have made the other superhero team look like people who should do crowd control.
The fight scenes in the film were intriguing between the fight scenes and the space battle, which made the movie more interesting to watch.
All films like this one use special effects to make imaginative things come to life, and the special effects in this film has made the movie look believable and impressive.
Bottom line, “Guardians of the Galaxy” is a must-see movie for people who are fans of the Marvel comics. Also, if someone needs to watch something that would make them laugh thoroughly and become engaged with sci-fi action, this movie is just what the people want.
