A cheerful blockbuster in which Star Wars meets Ziggy Stardust...

Full Review | Aug 29, 2022

It’s not that the ending of “Guardians” doesn’t work. It just felt a bit generic and almost what I’m starting to expect out of every Marvel movie.

Marvel and Gunn should be proud of what an unusual yet accessible a film they've made.

Guardians of the Galaxy just might be Marvel's greatest risk-reward situation yet.

Full Review | Feb 11, 2022

Absolutely stunning to look at, hilarious to watch, and never takes itself too seriously or gets dragged down in melodrama.

The blockbuster I've been waiting all summer for.

It's an absolute riot from start to finish.

The big screen version of this lesser-known Marvel comic is a hilarious curveball.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 16, 2021

It's so rare to see a film so perfectly crafted and cast. Forget "MCU films" or "Comic book films", Guardians of the Galaxy is just a great film, period.

It's filled with one-liners, sight gags and funny moments that play off the more standard blockbuster-style action and battle scenes.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 1, 2021

Contains all the excitement and adventure one would expect from a Marvel superhero movie, but the glue that holds this ragtag band of outlaws together is the humor.

May not necessarily be the movie event of the Summer but it's very likely one of the best Marvel-based cinematic adventures yet.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 9, 2020

Gunn knows not to take the material too seriously, that a fun space adventure such as this should be exactly that: fun and adventurous.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jul 20, 2020

Guardians of the Galaxy is great reminder that not all superhero comic book films have to be dark and moody.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 16, 2020

Combining huge, spectacle-scale special effects, giant practical sets, and a massive scale, Guardians also works on a narrative level, and as the story of strange, unique, very human-even when they're not-characters.

Science fiction collides with comics to create something colorful that makes everyone come out of the cinema saying: 'I am Groot'. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2020

It was a blast!

James Gunn has taken a group of characters that the majority didn't care about two years ago and made them guaranteed fan favourites in a movie that's not only one of the most awesome Marvel movies yet, but also 2014's best.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 15, 2020

Very entertaining from the great actor selection, to the special effects, to the plot scheme.

Full Review | Feb 5, 2020

The film marked Marvel Studios going full-on Marvel Comics, bringing with it the requisite band of multi-coloured misfits, whose intersecting character arcs - while occasionally incomplete - formed an alluring tapestry.
