Guardians of the Galaxy is the movie that made me realize there is something to these so-called “movies.”

it is worth revisiting the audacity and playfulness that has set the franchise apart from the rest.

The Guardians' cast has teamed up for four different movies, so it's no surprise their chemistry on screen is undeniable.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 4, 2023

[James] Gunn does make the journey a lot of fun, with an oddball cast of renegades who, tossed together in a deep space prison, team up to escape and wind up staying together because it suits their purposes, but really because it sucks to be alone.

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

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2022

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

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 5, 2022

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

| Feb 11, 2022

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

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 9, 2021

The blockbuster I've been waiting all summer for.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 31, 2021

It's an absolute riot from start to finish.

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

| 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.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 6, 2021

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

| 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.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 4, 2020

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

| 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.

| 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.

| 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.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 7, 2020

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]
