Guardians of the Galaxy

This movie stars Rocket the raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), Groot the tree (voiced by Vin Diesel), Drax played by former WWE wrestler Dave Batista, Gamora played by Zoe Saldana, and Peter Quill played by Chris Pratt.  The characters were separately odd but they all came together as the story moved along.

The movie begins with Peter Quill, also known as Starlord, visiting his dying mother in the hospital.  To escape the pain of losing his mother, he runs out of the hospital and is kidnapped by a group of aliens and taken into the galaxy where he is raised.   All he has from his prior life is a mix tape that his mother had made for him containing great music.  As a grownup, he becomes a thief.  While attempting a major heist, he is taken captive by a band of villains.  All of the characters then meet fighting off the villains and form a united front in becoming the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a terrific movie on all fronts.  It looks and sounds great and the acting is outstanding as well.  This movie also has great actors like Glenn Close, John C Riley, Lee Pace, and Karen Gillan.    I gave this movie 4 out of 4 stars.
