And I'm back to talk about one of my favorite-est things ever. Yes, I realize that favorite-est isn't a real word, but I'm so excited and in so love with this movie and the Marvel universe in general I needed to make a new word to express my inner nerdy spaz.
So getting to the point, we all know that this day and age might as well be known as the comic comeback. Because let's face it: we all love our superheroes. And they are all exciting and entertaining. But we know most of all of them and we are all familiar with their general existence. I mean seriously, who are you going to recognize more: Captain America or Star Lord? Iron Man or Grout? The Hulk or Rocket? The Avengers or The Guardians of the Galaxy?
But Marvel has struck again despite the anonymity of the newest hero team. Another hit movie that the public is loving. I know I personally loved it. The soundtrack was great and the plot was good too. There are a bunch of things I could talk about, but right now I want to focus on how good of a base movie this is. Now by "base movie" I mean the screenwriters, producers and directors have created enough interest to keep this once unrecognizable series going. We could come back to learn about Peter Quill/ Star Lord's father or continue to pursue Thanos. And we can't forget the infinity stones!
As for the performances, I think Zoe Saldana is my favorite. She does an excellent job of creating this strong female character without making her cheesy. Too many times, strong female characters are over done. They lose a certain air of femininity in the process. But Zoe Saldana builds a strong woman who is smart and talented. She is also physical capable of handling herself. Basically, Gamora saves the day. Another performance I enjoyed was that of Vin Diesel. I mean, seriously, the man has three words to convey all of his character's feelings in. And it's great. Finally, I would like to applaud the rest of the cast. Lee Pace is terrible (in a very good way) as Ronan the Accuser and Chris Pratt has made a very lovely jump from voice acting (The Lego Movie) and supporting roles to taking a lead. And we can't forget Bradley Cooper as Rocket either. Bravo!
