Now Chris Pratt was perfect for the role of Peter quill/star Lord in this film. He had enough charisma and likeability to pull off the role and make his character the nearest thing to Han solo since the original star wars films. His chemistry with the entire cast was great and he was the character with most depth to him which made him a great lead role.
The rest of the team starts off with Zoe saldana as the assassins gamora. She has an awesome back story and her character is interesting even though we don't learn too much about her in the film. She was a great character and her relationship with star Lord really was a good addition tho this film. Next is Dave bautista as drax the destroyer. Now this was the casting that nobody understood because this was his first big role since leaving the wwe. But he was fantastic in this film, he was funny and a badasss plus he seems to have impressed marvel so much that there are rumours that he could be the first guardian to head to earth in an Avengers film. Then Bradley Cooper voices rocket raccoon and my goodness this is one of the best characters marvel has ever done. He was a gamestealer, he was hilarious and funny but you also could see the damage put upon him to make him so angry at the world as he truly is but yeah rocket was awesome in this film. And finally vin diesel voices the living tree groot. I was watching the film again last night and I finally realised just how cool groot truly is, he is the nicest tree ever put in film but if anyone tries to hurt his friends he snaps and it is awesome. There are some moments in the film where you learn to appreciate just how cool groot really is and vin diesel did a great job in the voice. Also when I watched the film the first time I wasn't a fan of the villain Ronan because he felt like a weak bad guy just because he was an underlying to thanos. But when you think about his motivations and see how cool he was in battle it is clear he is a decent villain that was perfect for this film. Yes he won't be the next Darth Vader or Loki but he was a great antagonist in the film especially with his relationship with drax and just how personal it is.
Yes the story is pretty simple, with an item so team has to recover before the bad guy to stop the world being destroyed. But what was great is that this film New that and plays it up with some really interesting character development and a story that was entertaining and focused on the crew like it should have done.
The script is fantastic with so much humour in it and it all works, there are so many references that the aliens don't understand that starlord throws out that made me laugh. This script made all the good guys funny but gave them back story so you cared about them as characters.
The style is like star wars had a baby with star trek which is about the biggest compliment I can give this film. It just invests you in its world and makes you want to see more.
Overall this film is epic and one of the more memorable marvel films to say the least and definitely worth watching.
