Guardians of the Galaxy is so close to being the funniest Marvel movie of all time! It even starts in a hilarious way with Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) dancing to "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone. It sets the perfect tone of an out-of-this-world adventure with a great soundtrack, performances, and killer laughs.
I mean, any time the climax of the movie features "O-o-o Child" by the Five Stairsteps, a dance off, and the phrase "you big turd blossom," I'm laughing!
Guardians of the Galaxy tells the story of a ragtag group of outlaws, basically, who team up to try to stop Ronan the Destroyer from getting an orb that he will use in his reign of terror throughout the galaxy. The dynamic between Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldaña), Rocket (Bradley Cooper), Groot (Vin Diesel), and Drax (Dave Bautista) is so perfect and hilarious. Their chemistry is so good! They can't help but kill each other, but they also need each other to work together and accomplish their shared goals.
Writer and director James Gunn crafts a masterpiece in this one and in the future Guardians of the Galaxy movies. There are too many jokes to mention, but I love Drax, Rocket, and Groot. They make every scene so much better.
