Yes, it is that time. Guardians Of The Galaxy finally opens tonight! I've been dying for you to see this awesome film, so we can discuss. The only reason I won't be seeing this film tonight is, because my family and I are driving across the country for our family vacation. We've only got about 16 hours in the car together. However, after we get to our destination, we will see Guardians of the Galaxy. I already found a movie theater to watch it at!
That being said, Guardians Of The Galaxy is amazing. If you have no idea what Guardians of The Galaxy is about, here is a quick synopsis:
From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurerPeter Quillfinds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted byRonan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon,Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmaticGamoraand the revenge-drivenDraxthe Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.
Here's my top 10 reasons why you have to go see Guardians of the Galaxy:
- Rocket. Yes, you totally forget that Rocket is CGI. I knew Bradley Cooper did his voice, but seriously, most of the time, it doesn't sound like him at all. You totally bought into the fact that Rocket was real (or at least I did).
- It's pretty kid friendly. My 7 and 10 year old will be seeing this film. There is just a minimum amount of swearing, StarLord does give the bird, and I didn't think the violence was too bad.
- Chris Pratt makes an excellent StarLord. He is in awesome shape and is some great eye candy. Plus, he comes across just like he is in real life. You totally buy him as StarLord.
- (This may be a spoiler.) The Collector is in this movie. I love The Collector. Pay attention to what is in his collection.
- The soundtrack for Guardians Of The Galaxy is amazing. You may start singing along during the movie, because you will recognize all of the songs.
- Guardians of the Galaxy is all heart. It is an action movie. However, there is a whole backstory that will tug on your heartstrings. I may have gotten a little teary-eyed while watching. (No, I won't tell you what part till after you go see the movie!)
- You don't have to read the comics to follow what is going on (which is why all the Marvel movies are so great).
- Michael Rooker and Nathan Fillion are in it! Oh yeah, Stan Lee too. Also don't forgetJosh Brolin, Dave Batitsta, Karen Gillan, Ophelia Lovibond, Peter Serafinowicz, John C Reilly, and Lee Pace. I could go on and on with names.
- Groot. The relationship between Rocket and Groot is very heartfelt. They are the best of friends. Groot is also very important to the story. Plus, in the credits, there is a scene with Groot that I totally love.
- I told you too!
Seriously, Guardians of the Galaxy ranks as one of my favorite movies. It is so good. It lives up to the hype.

Can’t wait to catch this movie with my husband. It looks pretty funny!
I am taking my son to watch it tonight. We are excited.
This movie looks cool, I will definitely see it but the PG-13 rating and some of feedback I’ve heard, I won’t be taking my kids. It’s not just this movie, but TV and movies in general are really pushing the boundaries for family friendliness. But, I am pretty sure I will love it!
We are definitely seeing this movie very soon! It looks really good.
It interesting to know that you think it lives up to the hype because there sure has been a lot!
I have not heard of this before now but it sounds like a must see.
I am totally going to go see it. I might just have a “me” day and go, or maybe take my son. I think he might be the only one who will get into it with me.

I hadn’t heard of this movie till this weekend (apparently my husband had, though), but I’ve liked all the other Marvel movies I’ve seen, so I think we’ll have to give this one a try, too.
My hubby went to see it and loved it!
Good reasons to me. My granddaughter likes this movie

I haven’t been to the theater for an adult movie in years but this would be awesome in that setting I bet! I should talk the hubby into going!
I’m sure this will be a great movie! I’d love to have a date night and check this out!
You don’t have to convince me! My other half saw it already and has been telling me non-stop I need to watch it!
