This is my 40th review on this blog. Guardians of the Galaxy is honored with my first perfect score. Come on, how could any one not like this movie? It's infectious. It's the best star-wars movie since the original trilogy. Fuck you little Annakin, with your race pods; I'm going to watch Rocket Raccoon and Groot.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a phenomenon already, it seems. My town got a big fancy theatre recently, and I've rarely seen sold out shows of anything, mainly because big movies always have loads of showtimes these days. Between IMAX 3D showings, 3D showings, and a lot of normal showings, there are 18 showings a day for Guardians this weekend. But there were sold out showings today already. That's kind of astounding given there were 18 showings in the span of 12 hours.
James Gunn hit one way out of the park. Lest not forget that this is a huge, 170 million dollar budgeted movie. Big budgeted films are rarely this good. Guardians mixes comedy and stellar sci-fi space action to a charming point. See it! It's my favorite super-hero/star-wars movie in decades.
