Let's jump right in shall we? I know this movie has been out for a little while now so I thought it would be a good place to start. First off, I am totally a Marvel nerd. I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Marvel. I will see pretty much anything that Marvel puts out. You don't even have to tell me what it is about.....I'm there. Now let's get something clear right now so that I don't offend anyone. I do not read Marvel, so if anything I say or talk about isn't true to the comics.....I apologize. I am strictly movie Marvel. Now, Guardians of the Galaxy. So loved this movie! I loved it so much I saw it in theaters twice! Once in 3-D which I highly recommend. I usually gauge how much I enjoy a movie by my excitement or disappoint at the movies ending. For example, "WHAT?! it'a already over? they are making another one right??" If you can't guess, that means I loved it and was sad it ended. Then there is "FINALLY! Let's go get something to eat", which means I was highly unimpressed with this feature film. Guardians of the Galaxy was one that I was excited about from the opening credits. I saw Benecio Del Toro's name and freaked out. I began hitting my friend that I went with saying "It's the Collector!! Holy crap!!" Now if you have seen the second Thor movie, you know who I am talking about. Totally psyched that they tied those two movies together. Which is another reason I am such a big fan of Marvel. I think that putting characters, references, and scenes from other Marvel movies together makes the whole Marvel world seem more plausible. Is it just me that thinks this way?
From the first scene with Peter Quill (Star Lord) in the hospital I was hooked. This movie was funny, exciting, entertaining, and had heart. The choice to have the majority of the soundtrack be songs from the 70's was brilliant. It felt like they weren't trying to make the movie young and in the times by choosing current artists. It cracked me up when people didn't know what Peter's walkman was. I feel like that would happen to anyone carrying around walkman these days. And the walkman being such a minor object having such a significant meaning was really sweet. And Zoe Saldana looks good in color, let's just face it. Blue or green....she can rock it. I always enjoy seeing chicks kick ass in movies too, so it was fun to see Zoe Saldana kick some dude butt. All the characters blended so well together. I just can't say enough about how much I enjoy this movie. If I went through each character one by one this blog would be WAY too long. Let's just say, I will own this movie. I will watch it over and over again and it will be a favorite of mine for many years to come.
