I know that this is out of my usual pattern of movies, but it's playing on campus, so I thought I'd put it in. Whether you've noticed or not, I've been trying to do a movie that is lesser known, at least to me, and a new release each week. Guardians of the Galaxy doesn't fall under either of those categories, (it shouldn't, it seemed quite big) but like I said, it's on campus, so I figured I'd talk about it if anyone was trying to decide whether to go or not.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a MARVEL movie, so that means it was adapted from a comic book. Like all of the other MARVEL movies, Stan Lee makes his appearance and it is really a very good movie. There's plenty of laughs throughout with a healthy dose of action, and some sad moments. You can watch the trailer here and then go check out the full movie at the Union.
Summary:
(Highlight the grey text boxes SPOILER with your mouse to see spoilers if you dare)
In the beginning of the movie we see Peter Quill, as a child, get abducted by a space ship right after the passing of his mother. We see him again some years later on a foreign planet where Peter is searching for an object that someone is very interested in buying. Peter has become a Ravager in his new life; searching for and selling stuff to very interested buyers. This time though, Peter's target has some very extreme and secret powers that some might want to get their hands on. One in particular is named Ronan the Accuser. Ronan has been holding some grudges and when he finally gets his chance to take his revenge, it becomes up to Peter and the rest of The Guardians to stop him from achieving his goal.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a very good movie with a great story. The humor is fantastic and the action is packed. It really is a fun movie to go see, especially since it's right here on campus and free. So go give it a shot, and I doubt you'll regret it.
I'm a fan of marvel movies so I'm sure eventually I will go and see this movie or wait for it to come out on DVD. It seems bizarre to me how exactly that group of characters end up together so I honestly thought it would be kind of lame. I'm sure it has great humor in it though, and I can't wait to watch it to see if it's as good as you say!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't as strange as you would think for the group to come together once you find out their stories. The movies excellent though, and it's got plenty of laughs, as do a lot of MARVEL movies.
