Director James Gunn is brought in to direct Guardians of the Galaxy. A boy named Peter Quill(Chris Pratt) is abducted by aliens and grows up to become a space outlaw a.k.a Starlord. He comes into possession of a mysterious orb and soon finds himself pursued by multiple forces and ends up getting arrested along with Gamora(Zoe Saldana) a highly trained assassin, a talking raccoon and tree named Rocket(Bradley Cooper), and Groot(Vin Diesel) also Drax the Destroyer(Dave Bautista). Guardians of the Galaxy when it came out was quite surprising in the sense that it accomplish quite a lot being that at this point it was a new IP following a comic series that even among readers, not too many folks were all that familiar with these characters. It opened up that gateway for expanding the Marvel Universe. We leave the comforts of Earth and go on a cosmic adventure. FUll of Strange worlds and Ship battles. Overall the film does a great job setting up its World and its characters the Guardians as a whole a just a group of Ruffians who seem to be in it just for themselves, but just boarding the line of Lawfulness. Not changing around completely, but still, in the end, become better folks and find their place among themselves. You get enough time to get an idea want they are about even though some are left more ambiguous such as Rocket, but the time gives you get the serious moments between the action and the humor. Which just adds to the charms. Such as the scene between Peter and Gamora talking about their past in nowhere. The soundtrack is nothing short of amazing from the original Tracks to even the License music. In most films, it would come off as gimmicky just throwing random pop culture songs that wouldn't feel right in this whole sci-fi setting. However, the Music does surprisingly fit the style and tone that the movie going for, no point did find any of the Songs unfitting for the scene played in, and connected a lot to Star lord's characters.
