Marvel nerds, unite! Whether you have been a Marvel Comics fan your entire life, or if you just have two hours to kill, the new Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy, based on the 2008 comic book, will not disappoint. It has something for everyone, which is rare for a superhero action film. It is witty, intense and might even make you tear up—a pretty cool variety of emotions for a movie based on a criminal superhero team that ventures out to save the galaxy. Chris Pratt is perfectly cast as the main character, Star-Lord. When we weren’t gripping our armrests in anticipation, we were laughing at Pratt’s sarcasm and quick wit. As if this movie didn’t have enough going for it, the amazing soundtrack will make your parents feel like kids again.
Should You See It? YES! But…do not take your 6-year-old to this movie; it is rated PG-13 for a reason!
