Guardians of the Galaxy

Tali: Guardians of the Galaxy is the latest of from the Marvel movie house. It tells the story of Bert Macklin, FBI Peter Quill, a man who was once abducted by aliens, only to live as an outlaw amongst them some 20 years later. He meets a series of other misfit outlaw types, and they reluctantly band together to save.. you guessed it.. the galaxy. I found that this film had a great balance of being totally schlocky and ridiculous, to being very serious and aligning itself with the tones of the previous Marvel films. I saw that some guy from the LA Times referred to the film as being, "Blessed with a loose, anarchic B-picture soul that encourages you to enjoy yourself even when you're not quite sure what's going on." I would say that describes it to a T. Also, btw, I am Groot. 88/100.

Leo: It is hard to describe this movie besides saying, it's the funniest while still being the smartest sci-fi movie in a long time. It's like Star Trek but with more relatable lore (ie. marvel universe) and wit. Chris Pratt was a perfect cast as Peter Quill (who is his father o m l) and his dynamic with Walking Dead's Rooker (I think) playing Yondu was perfect. Groot is the most likeable character, especially since I've been a Vin Diesel fan (probably since it was cool to be one). Bautista really impressed me with his under acting in a very deliberate and excellent way. His delivery was awesome. Bradley Cooper gave Rocket the perfect cocky but still likeable personality he needed. Zoe Saldana was even convincing! The plot was awesome, the script was awesome, and the action scenes were spectacular. Only a few marvel movies rank up to this one. Leometer: 94/100.
