Guardians of the Galaxy

            Some of the weaknesses of the film, “Guardians of the Galaxy”, are character development and the script. The Guardians of the Galaxy is another addition to the Marvel, which has been very successful. The movie is about an unlikely group of people that come together to help save the galaxy. Peter Quill, the main character, who is also known as Star Lord is played Chris Pratt. The opening scene is Peter Quill’s mother on her deathbed and she passes away causing Peter to run outside the hospital, which lead to him being abducted by a group of ravagers. The ravagers are lead by Yondu who is the one that ended up raising Peter. Peter ends up being wanted by a numerous amount of people because he takes an orb that has enormous power and he has a bounty on his head. The people that become closes to him are the ones that tried to capture or kill him. They eventually become a group of heroes that attempt to save the galaxy.

            Some characters are important to the story, but it feels like they lack detail or attention to some of the character’s story. For instance, Ronan is the villain they are trying to stop, but not much is known about him. It is not known why or how he becomes a villain in the first place. We get a very small story about him and nothing else. The same thing happens with the other characters like Groot, Gamora, Drax, and Rocket we really don’t know a lot about them so we cannot really connect with them like we do with Peter. All those character are part of the group so there should be a lot more about them.

 Also parts of the script like some of the dialogue are poor and kind of confusing. Also the actors don’t give any help with the dialogue as well they are monotone most of the time with no kind of emotions. The only character that shines is Peter Quill: he is the main character, but the other character should not be so far behind. For example, one of the heroes is Drax who is played by Dave Batista and Dave does not act well. It is probably because he has not acted in many movies, but it just sound like he is reading the script with no emotion. It is really hard to tell what he is feeling because he has no other tone but one.

Other than the characters flaws the movie is a good and everyone should watch it. It has a great plot and story line and it would be enjoyable for everyone. It also is a great addition to Marvel and has potential to have many other good sequels.
