“We will not stand by as evil wipes out billions of innocent lives.
What should we do next? Something good or something bad? A bit of both.”
The Guardians of the Galaxy is an action packed epic space adventure full of energy humor and huge battle sequences combined to form a near perfect piece of cinematic pulp art. The movie begins with a young boy, Peter Quill sitting in a waiting room of a hospital listening to 'Awesome Mix - Tape Number 1' waiting to bid his last goodbye to his dying mother. His mom gives him a present and asks for his hand, but he's too scared to take it. Just then, she dies. The distraught Peter runs outside and is abducted by a spaceship.
26 years after being abducted, Peter Quill a.ka. Star Lord finds himself the prime target of a manhunt after discovering an Orb wanted by Ronan the Accuser who wants it so that he can trade it to Thanos in exchange for Thanos destroying Xandar (a planet in the Marvel comics universe and home of the Nova Corps). On retrieving the orb Peter decides to sell it on his own and is thrown out of the shop. No sooner is he attacked by Gamora (a sexy combat expert) followed by Rocket (the raccoon) And Groot (a tree like humanoid) who too intend to steal the orb. Somehow all three are arrested by Nova HQ and sent to a space prison. This is where they meet the hulking Drax 'the Destroyer' who has sworn to kill Ronan, but opts instead to kill Gamora, until she confesses she is set to betray Ronan.
At which point the gang begins melding into the Guardians of the Galaxy. Gamora comes up with an idea to sell the Orb to someone else someone more trustful. Peter, Rocket, and Groot agree to help and split the reward. So rocket being the badass genius he is comes up with a fool proof plan to escape the prison. Everyone reaches Knowhere to meet Gamora’s contact Taneleer Tivan. Drax secretly sends a message to Ronan revealing the group's location, because he thinks he can handle the mighty Ronan all alone. Well, he was wrong. While Tivan opens the orb, revealing an Infinity Stone, an item of immeasurable power that destroys all but the most powerful beings who wield it, Tivan's tormented assistant grabs the stone, triggering an explosion that engulfs his collection and destroys her. On realising the immense power it holds star lord decides it is best that the orb must rest in safe hands – Novas. But things don’t always go as they are planned in the Marvel Universe. The evil Nebula steels the Orb for Ronan, who absorbs its energy, preparing to use it as a weapon in his genocidal destruction of Xandar. As the battle followed Groot lost his life protecting his Family. After a nail biting heroic action sequence Guardians Of The Galaxy managed to harness the energy of the Orb, channelling its energy through one another and ultimately using the power to kill Ronan. Afterwards, Nova Prime oversaw the locking of the orb within a secure vault. But this was not the end, we saw Baby Groot dancing to 'Awesome Mix - Tape Number 2' (Peter finally opened the present).
Flare Verdict: Guardians of the Galaxy is an action comedy with mismatched characters spiced up with sharp one-liners, funkified soundtracks and a healthy helping of attitude. After franchises like Iron Man and The Avengers Marvel has succeeded in bringing up something that not only defines heroism but the very essence of having fun. And that’s what this movie is all about. Cheers!
