GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (Theatrical Release USA 2014)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Stars ìììì

Guardians of the Galaxy—terrific from start to finish—captures the reckless, rogue style we love with Hans Solo in the Star Wars series by introducing character Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) into this combination live action/computer generated Marvel Comic film. Peter, abducted by alien pirates as a young boy, is raised to loot and smuggle throughout galaxies. When Peter successfully steals a highly desirable orb, the action begins non-stop for the movie’s entire 122 minutes
