I'm glad you enjoyed the movie! All the reviews I've read have been positive and all seem to say the same thing: it's a great movie (well, I've seen some with some negative parts, but it seems to land on 'great'). While I haven't been able to avoid every spoiler (I have been trying though), I did see a clip that they released of *Spoilers* Baby Groot. I have a theory as to what happened to make Groot turn Pint Sized or whatever, but I'm not a hundred percent sure (I'm mainly just using what I've read and accidentally stumbled across on Tumblr), but the clip was adorable and hilarious! *End Spoilers* Peter Quill sounds like an interesting character, though, and I think he could end up as a favorite character!<br />Awesome review, James!<br />-TeganTegan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197087001988013919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-85860106096627511892014-08-17T07:27:33.257-04:002014-08-17T07:27:33.257-04:00Thank you Sarah!

Pratt killed it! *Spoilers* I know! That scene with Rocket was so powerful. Really, I wonder what movie Nebula will appear in. Maybe it will be the Inhumans movie.<br /><br />Same here, I cannot wait to see more of the characters, but that is because they were so lovable, rather than being underdeveloped. Agreed, that soundtrack is just awesome! :D I can't stop listening to it either. <br /><br />You are right! I should have given it an 11/10! <br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-38101900854500721792014-08-17T07:21:14.851-04:002014-08-17T07:21:14.851-04:00Can't wait to see it for a second time myself....Can't wait to see it for a second time myself.

I could watch that second group of gifs for a very long time. :P I can't remember a specific reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I was reminded of it at the beginning -- was there a specific reference or was that it?<br /><br />Chris Pratt plays the cocky semi-serious hero like he's never done anything else! *spoilers* And Rocket's drunken emotional outburst was shockingly realistic, wasn't it? I thought Nebula was more compelling than Ronan too, (he was mostly just epic) so I'm very glad that she'll apparently be back. (I heard she'll be showing up in a different Marvel movie next too.) Still trying to wrap my mind around the idea that that was Karen Gillan...<br /><br />I loved all the characters, so I kinda wish we'd gotten more detailed looks into their origin stories, but at the same time I agree with what you said -- how the back stories are integrated so naturally that it was really the perfect way to do it. Still, I'm looking forward to their further development in the next film that is WAY too far away. Star-Lord is my favorite superhero now, and I keep just listening to the soundtrack over and over... The awesomeness of this movie makes me very happy. :D<br /><br />Maybe you should start rating the Entertainment Value on an 11 scale -- apparently this movie redefined what an entertaining movie is!

While just a little bit of the humor didn't hit the mark for me, it was still a fantastic film and I think it's an instant classic! I do have a question--what did you think of the two after credit scenes?

I completely agree. <br /><br />And the more that I think about it, I think that we will really see how timeless Guardians of the Galaxy is over the next couple decades, especially if it gets some good sequels. <br /><br />I'm right there with you.
