Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-2-1308x1940

Guardians Of The Galaxy is possibly the best Marvel movie yet,  innovative action, beautiful visuals, strong characterizations and throw in a good balance of humor and wit, Marvel has another winner. Excellent comedic timing and when you throw in the seventies and eighties pop music.writer/director James Gunn find the perfect mix to make it work.

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.

Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which first appeared in comic books in Marvel Super-Heroes, Issue #18 (Jan. 1969), stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, featuring Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Commander Rael and Benicio del Toro as The Collector.

James Gunn is the director of the film with Kevin Feige producing, and Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Jeremy Latcham, Alan Fine and Stan Lee serve as executive producers. The story is by Nicole Perlman and James Gunn, with screenplay by James Gunn.

According to the filmmakers, Rocket Raccoon in this film is a unique product of experimentation: “He’s a little animal that was taken and experimented on and pulled apart and put back together again and implanted with cybernetics and he’s half-machine and half-raccoon. And he’s a gnarled, miserable, angry creature because there’s nothing else like him. And that’s something not easy to be.”

Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista spent two and a half months training and rehearsing for their fight scene. On the Friday night before the Monday they were scheduled to film the scene, director James Gunn decided that the fight wouldn’t work on camera, so he scrapped the entire fight sequence they had been practicing. Gunn also decided that he wanted the entire fight to be filmed in one long shot with no cuts. As a result, Pratt and Bautista only had a few hours to learn the choreography for the fight sequence that is in the movie. According to Bautista, it took them 22 takes to get it right on film.

The Metropolitant team loved every minute of the movie, so buy your tickets, watch the movie, laugh out loud and enjoy this galactic journey! Any post credits scene? Yes.
