Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

When I first came to know about Guardians of Galaxy, I was a bit skeptical. Obviously , I had no idea who they were and again I was simply not excited about "not another superhero team up movie" and my expectations sea-dived after seeing the horrendous post credit scene of Thor 2 featuring The Collector and directed by Gunn himself. But boy, little did I know Gunn and Co would write and Bradley cooper would perform such a character like Rocket Raccoon!!! The tiny mammal steals the show and you are left yearning for more of him. Marvel has yet another lovable character(reminiscent of Timon) after Hulk and Loki who really deserve separate movies.They must explore his origins in the next one.
The plot and story does not have much to offer. There are references to kree, nova corps, Infinity gems, Thanos daughters, The Treaty,Terrans, but they are not that important if you are not very much dedicated to the marvel folklore. Again, the villain is half baked and tries very hard to sound menacing but unfortunately all he seems is to look like a cosplayer who missed his bus to the comic con. I hope vultron and Thanos are written better .
The music is high point of the movie and sets the mood very well. The humor, like previous marvel movies, has always some new laughs to offer and yes Groot is impressive too. Chris pratt as Star lord does his job well , but nothing exceptional.
Overall, a superb fun movie since the Avengers.
Yes it is the best action movie this summer and you must go and catch it!!!
PS: Howard the duck!!!! really??
