Guardians Of The Galaxy

I absolutely love this movie I'm trying to get all of my marvel and DC comic movies and this just adds to my collection

I'm not sure which I'm reviewing, the movie, the quality of the DVD, the packaging or a little of all of them. This is a "product" review, after all, but the phrasing is ambiguous. So I'll do a little of all of them.The movie is great. Until you see an anthropomorphic racoon riding a ten foot tall anthropomorphic house plant spraying lead and screaming at the top of it's little (don't call me a rodent's) heart, you haven't really lived. It answers the age old question of whether your greenery boogies down behind your back. Blue Man Group makes a cameo (sort of), and green turns out to be sexy - and dangerous - on aliens other than Orion Slave Girls. Gotta admit, the easter egg at the end is a bit of a head scratcher, considering how badly the movie of THAT particular Anatidaean Marvel "superhero" did, but it was right up there with the fun weirdness of the movie itself. After all, if you don't have killer female androids on your rear, it ain't a movie worth watching. This has enough eye candy for guys and gals - and action thrill seekers - to get diabetes and want to get it again.If you want an honest review of it, go google "Honest Movie Trailers: Guardians of the Galaxy". It helps if you've seen the movie before you watch that, though. Do not be sipping anything while you watch. It's funnier than hell and you might inhale at the wrong time.As for the physical product, the DVD is a good investment. It seems strong and sturdy. The box is the usual DVD box, light weight and functional. I imagine it's at least as durable and useful as a coaster as those old AOL CD's you used to get every three days in the mail (that assessment applies to both the box and the DVD). I immediately ripped it to my home network and have it available for private home viewing, of course (that applies to the DVD, not the box). I then tucked it away where it won't be disturbed until at least the next earthquake, wildfire or malicious act of God. (That applies to the DVD. The empty box went into the storage bin we have available for thieves who think they're getting our DVD collection if they steal it. I hope people were taking notes. There will be a test later.)So, altogether it was an outstanding buy. I'd definitely recommend the DVD because it's a quality media storage device and it's hard to watch the movie with out it, the box as a decent protective and DVD storage device AND the movie because it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch to everyone with a sense of humor who likes mindless action and (literally) out-of-this-world fun. It's a definite must have movie for the collection.

Current day, but in a galaxy far far away, Peter Quill steals an orb, not really knowing how valuable it is. He's part of the Ravagers, a loose-knit gang of thieves for hire. The leader is blue-faced Yondu Udonta, who has raised Quill in the thieving life after abducting him as a kid from Earth in 1988. When Yondu finds out that Quill is keeping the orb for himself, he is furious, "When I picked you up on Terra, these boys of mine wanted to eat you. They ain't never tasted any Terran before." Maybe even Yondu will use his Yaka Arrow on Quill, a killing weapon supreme, directed by just a whistle.So now Quill has Yondu after him as well as Gamora, a green-skinned assassin working for the treacherous Kree, and two bounty-hunters, Rocket and Groot. When the four of them are arrested and jailed together, they find meet Drax the Destroyer. The improbable five escape jail together, and from there on this becomes a buddy movie. With aliens. And fighting and spaceships and LOTS of comedy."Guardians of the Galaxy", now known as Vol. 1 because a sequel came out in 2017, hit the theaters in 2014. It is part of the Marvel world and one of the best, in my opinion, with humor and heart. Sometimes the comic pauses are not necessarily realistic, but the movie shows lots of creativity, such as said Yaka Arrow, and the planet of Knowhere, built inside the decapitated head of a giant celestial being.Rocket and Groot are CGI, with Groot fashioned on the voice and studio motion capture of Vin Diesel. Diesel was not actually on set, though. Another actor holding a head high gave the other actors something to act with. Overall, the producers report that the film has 2,750 visual effects shots, comprising 90% of the film. That's a lot of green screen. The prison, however, was a real set. As director James Gunn said, "Our sets are enormous. We have a prison that is 350,000 pounds of steel."On disc, you can view the 121 minute film with a choice of spoken languages: English, French or Spanish in 5.1 Dolby Digital, as well as English 2.0 Descriptive Audio. Subtitles are available in English, French or Spanish.There are two Bonus Features:A. "Exclusive Look at Marvels 'Avenger's Age of Ultron" (3 minutes) This a making of featurette, has comments by Kevin Feige (producer), Joss Whedon (director), Jeremy Latcham (executive producer) and Elizabeth Olsen (plays Scarlet Witch). The movie includes filming in England, NY, South Korea and South Africa.B. Deleted Scene (1 minute)C. Sneak Peeks. Previews of other Marvel movies and video game.I didn't actually buy "Guardians of the Galaxy 1" until after I'd seen the sequel. A very good pair of movies.Happy Reader

As someone who grew up in the 80s, this was a fun movie to watch. From the references to the music, it was quite nostalgic, fun, and entertaining. Aside from that, the story was great, too!

Todo perfecto

DVD works well and very entertaining

Would be surprised if anyone hasn't seen this by now.When I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy in the theater, I'd never read any of the comics but was familiar with some of the characters. I couldn't imagine how they could during such boring and drab characters into something interesting to watch in motion...However, I was wrong. All the roles were excellently cast, and the entire film had great pacing, the right mix of action, comedy and story. This movie single handedly made Guardians of the Galaxy relevant to a broad audience.

i really love this movie ,i liked the how the plot progressed well, i also love the characters in the movie, my favorite character was grout . i can't wait to see what the next movie is going to be like. i liked how they had animal and tree type characters in the movie. i also like that the movie was done in space. the music was also a good fit to the movie. i definitely recommend this movie to anyone looking for a different kind of space movie
