Film Freak 2014 - Guardians of the Galaxy {3D}

Marvel are on fire, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: Winter Solider and now Guardians of the Galaxy, all have done/doing well at the cinemas. This film also has the added bonus of it's 80's MixTape soundtrack which is also doing OK business at the shops right about now.

Chris Pratt is largely likeable and the opening scene is not what I was expecting it was actually a bit moving. The remainder of the Guardians are also good in their different roles.

I gave 3D a go on this picture and it was actually a worthy 3D film. I do not say that about many films in 2014 when every second film is 3D now.

This movie has received such wonderful reviews the world over so it was just a must see at the movies event.



The entire second half of the film to me felt like a set up for a sequel and surprise, surprise there is already talk of a sequel but not for some time. We have Avengers 2 and Ant Man still to come. Avengers will clearly be another hit but how will Ant Man fair? It's almost like Reality TV when will enough super hero be enough? Or is this the one genre that just keeps on giving?

Currently Super Hero films for the studios are a super firm and sure thing bet to return on their investment. In the day of so many films on offer, piracy, world films at most peoples finger tips this is a super competitive time for the cinema.

Back to the review however as I always get side tracked but I also had to look to the musical Wicked for Gamora who is entirely Green and her sister is Blue. Both are bad to start but the Green one turns out to be OK and becomes a Guardian of the Galaxy.

Nice to also see young Glenn Close in this big budget flick and also just pulling it off with ease. What a diva.

Guardians of the Galaxy isn't the best Marvel film to date but the action sequences are top notch, their is some cute one liners in the mix and as much as it was a little long it was setting you up for a bigger picture.

Guardians of the Galaxy it's a great little cold, wet Winter film, 3.5 Galaxy Stars.
