Welcome to awesome! Long awaited, highly praised and watched millions of times already for sure. Guardians of the Galaxy is a strong competitor for movie of the year, but for some it is the the movie of the decade - or even the movie they waited for since their childhood.
Based on the latest Guardians Of The Galaxy comic-series this is one of the movies that let you slip into the Marvel universe quite easily. Although there is plenty of background to find in several comic series that tell storylines close to the one in the movie with different characters and twists, the movie tells enough to make you understand how each of the members has their own background.
Awesome storytelling: CHECK.
Let's go on to the humor. Sometimes a little awkward in terms of just dumb jokes, but on the other hand the characters are just hilarious. I mean, a tree? They all just make you think "You serious?!". So, not all jokes actually work on you but the quote is quite high. Of course, one got to let oneself in for it. You can make any joke bump off yourself by just telling it's too dumb. But this movie will make you laugh a lot.
Awesome humor: CHECK.
The view on Knowhere. The panorama of Xandar. VFX and world designers make this movie also a great event for those of you who like to get amazed by fictional worlds and places. The 3D effects are a little lame in the over all view. In the beginning there are some shots that just provoke you to hate this 3D madness that evolved of the last years. Shooting through different layers of stone formations for example just makes the stones look like cardboard props. Still there are so many scenes that remind you of the high professionalism of the team behind the movie and the theory that is still used in videography.
Awesome quality: CHECK.
So, if you have the possibility to watch the movie in the original version, do it. I watched both, the original version and the German dubbed one. And as always. the former is the better.
