The Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians Of The Galaxy

When Guardians of the Galaxy was first announced by Marvel the die-hard comic fans out there went wild, the rest of the world however went, "who?" It is difficult to believe, that after a few short months Guardians of the Galaxy has become one of the most- anticipated movies of the summer. Now the full trailer has premiered on Jimmy Kimmel Live, it is now confirmed that this is the movie that everyone is most excited about this summer. Do I think it'll be the best? No clue. Do  I think it'll be a hit to live up to Marvel's impressive track record? Who knows? But do I expect to have a better time in a theatre during the the summer months, if not the entire year? No way. 

Guardians of the Galaxy stars characters that, unless you're a hardcore comic book fan, you've almost certainly never heard of. As far as we know, it doesn't have any of the more recognizable Marvel characters along to help ease the audience to these new guys. Also two of the main characters are a genetically engineered tree who only says " I AM GROOT" and a raccoon with a slight gun fetish. I mean, if people though Ant-Man was a long shit, he's got nothing on the Guardians of the Galaxy.

The trailer is not just about humor although there is a lot. There is also plenty of action packed in there, including Rocket unloading an automatic weapon while astride Groot. This is a sight that would send any fanboys heart into palpitations, this just shows that writer/director James Gunn has a created a crazy, unique-looking universe which has got everyone excited.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a story of  Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord. He is a half-human, half-alien who was taken away from Earth when he was still young and grows up fooling around in the galaxy as a self claimed "legendary outlaw." After coming into possession of a mysterious artifact, Star-Lord winds up joining forces with the rest of the self claimed Guardians of the Galaxy to save the galaxy from some not so friendly people, such as Ronan the Accuser.

It is released in theatres on Friday 1st of August 2014.
