Guard it!

When people get tired of superhero movies, you make a space opera. It's simple. After the Marvel cinematic universe had brought popular heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor to the big screen, it was time to give smaller characters the glory they deserve. The Guardians of the Galaxy aren't exactly heroes anyway, but they exist in the Marvel universe and needed big screen adaptations, so Marvel risked it all and spent a whole lot of money to make a movie they weren't even sure would be successful. The first thing I'd like to say is that they totally did the right thing when they copied the outlandish and over the top feel from the comic books, for instance, they introduced us to multiple crazy alien races, and had them interact in ways you might notice are similar to the way humans of different races and religions act. Some are radicals who want to kill off a whole species, while others are tolerant and trying to bring equality to all, no matter if your skin is white, black, pink, furry, and/or green. Another thing perfect about Guardians of the Galaxy was the use of Marvel comics lore. The Collector talked extensively about the infinity stones, and how there are six of them, each with the power to destroy planets. These stones are seen throughout all the Marvel films, including but not limited to, the Aether from Thor:The Dark World, The Tessarect, mainly from Captain America: The First Avenger , and The Avengers, and, of course, the stone depicted in this film, which was never given a specific name. It was fun to see these outlaws trying to get along to get some money, then saving the galaxy on accident. I also really liked Peter Quill holding on to his only memories of life on Earth. After watching this, I couldn't get over my excitement to see the team back in action when the sequel comes out in 2017 or something like that. All five of these funny team members did exactly what was necessary to make the audience laugh at their dysfunctionality but still root for them in the end. (also Dave Bautista again) A+
