Guardians of the Galaxy is currently named as one of best superhero movies of this year together with X-Men First Class sequence X- Men Future Days of Future Past. After checking the trailer I went out to see what's with the hype of this weird alien looking universe myself.
At first you can't help yourself to notice all of these unusual looking characters to say for the least. The interesting thing is that before watching the movie the only one character I had a problem looking at was cybernetically enhanced, talking raccoon Rocket. Maybe, that was just the influence of countless talking animal movies or mostly comedies that I couldn't take this hero seriously. I had no problem with a green girl or that blue incredibly muscular man or even the tree guy. Well, OK, maybe only a little bit. But all of this was just a pre movie prejudice.
This movie brings the audience to a completely new sculpted world which is a distant to earth as possible but still with a few similar features. In a way it reminded me Star Wars with all of this variety of new alien species and them specific characteristics. Starting from the beginning and throughout the whole film I was waiting for that extra special moment that could make this piece of cinema work something you could call epic for everyone to remember in the years to come. Actually it was not easy at first. Peter Quill first scene as a child left a hint of interest, but later on it was an old story of something heard, something already seen. However these characters starts two really grow to you and within minutes passing by I could start to even draw comparisons. For example: Rocket - Bender, Groot - Chewbacca, Gamora - the coolest girl of all guys and etc.. (Groot was my favorite if you dare to ask). And you have to have a well developed characters to start caring about them. By the time I did their stories started to get tangled up with a movie ending on quite high note. Well known tracks and frequent jokes helped to create a very light mood. If I could choose, this would be a perfect mid summer movie choice, the one you wouldn't be bored to rewatch over and over again after a year or so.
