Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy is a 2014 American superhero film on DVD, directed by James Gunn and based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy's fate in the balance. COVER ARTWORK NOT FINAL Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Reviews “Chris Pratt, overflowing with charisma, plays the leader of the pack of misfits, and his blissed-out space cowboy (with a love for seventies music) is so full of good will that he buoys the film and its requisite whizbang special effects.” New Yorker “Pratt is their prime asset for turning the comedy up to 11. With him playing Star-Lord, you never question what Quill brings to the team: a sparkling, cracked esprit de corps.” Orange County Register “Surrender, earthlings. It’s the Guardians’ world and you’ll be happy to live in it.” St. Louis Post-Dispatch “The film's a giddily subversive space opera that runs on self-aware smart-assery.” Entertainment We­ekly “Gunn makes this huge entertainment accessible to the converted and the neophyte alike, and he has only has one goal: To send you out of the theater with a fat smile on your face. Mission accomplished.” Miami Herald ""Guardians of the Galaxy" has wit, energy and zaniness to spare. It will pop your corn and leave you hungry for more." Detroit News
