Guardians of the Galaxy

I was very lucky to go to a Thursday showing of Guardians of the Galaxy.  I will admit to not know much about Guardians.  As soon as I found out that it was going to be a movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe I was really excited, it doesn't take much to excite me though when it comes to Marvel.

So, with not knowing too much I read up on the characters, but not a lot.  I pretty much knew their names and small back stories but not a lot of detail.  Since I didn't know much I didn't have any thoughts on the cast.  I knew their work but had no opinions about their capabilities to play these characters.

Here's the review and there may be some spoilers (you've been warned):

I LOVED IT!!!

I am pleased to say that I didn't need to know much about these characters, although after seeing the movie I want to know more!  It was funny when it needed to be, Peter and Rocket were great, it was dramatic when it needed to be and the action sequences were amazing!

It left me wanting more, which is what is supposed to happen, right?  I'm counting down the days until the movie is released on blu ray and I can want it over and over again to catch things that I missed the first time.

All in all I thought it was great, probably the best movie I've seen this summer.  The characters were interesting and different than what we've all been used to these past couple of years.  It was a nice change and I can't wait to see what Marvel does in the coming years.

Also, can we discuss the end credit scene??  Unbelievably amazing!!!  That's all I say because I don't want to ruin anything for people that haven't seen the movie yet.
