The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Disel, John C. Rielly, Michael Rooker, Lee Pace, Karen Gillian, Benico Del Toro, Glenn Close
Director: James Gunn

Premise:
A space pirate, Peter Quill, steals a mysterious orb only find out the relic is being looked for by a powerful being called Ronan the Accuser who will stop at nothing to retrieve the orb and destroy worlds. Quill brings together a group of misfits to help save the universe.

My Take:
I haven't had this much fun at the movies in long time. There are big laughs, action, heart tugging drama, an odd (but good) soundtrack, and great special effects; all of which come at perfect times. The cast simply owns their roles with Chris Pratt in a star making performance as Quill and Bradly Copper stealing the show as the voice Rocket. Director James Gunn, one of my favorite directors, hits all the rights notes with this flick making it something unique to the Marvel universe.
