Guardians of the Galaxy


                Over the summer this year, a great movie came out. This movie was Guardians of the Galaxy and was arguably the best movie to come out over the summer. This movie was based on the Marvel comic called Guardians of the Galaxy. It was produced by Marvel Studios, the same studio that created Iron Man, Thor, and The Avengers. Guardians of the Galaxy was very different from the other movies that Marvel has made. It was more focused on comedy and being funny while their other movies are focused on action. This movie still had its fair share of action but definitely seemed to focus on comedy.

                Guardians of the Galaxy is about a man named Peter Quill who finds an infinity stone. He doesn’t know what it is and tries to sell it on the black market. He gets attacked by an assassin, Gamora, and two bounty hunters, Groot and Rocket. They all get taken to jail where they meet a powerful inmate named Drax. They all work together to break out of jail and then they go and try to find a buyer for the stone. The stone gets taken from them by Ronan who plans to use it to destroy the planet Xander. The Guardians of the Galaxy get help from a group of people called the Ravagers, which Quill used to be a part of, to defeat Ronan. The Ravagers, the Guardians, and a group called the Nova-Corps manage to crash Ronan’s ship. The Guardians take out Ronan by using the infinity stone.

                Guardians of the Galaxy is the tenth movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  This means that all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe take place in the same fictional world. It means characters in one movie could meet and help characters in another movie. If something is changed in one movie it would carry over to the other movies as well. However movies not in this universe wouldn’t affect this universe. For example, if a monument or something was destroyed in a Superman movie it wouldn’t be destroyed in an Iron Man Movie.

                Guardians of the Galaxy was a really good movie. In my opinion it was the best movie that came out this summer. I liked it so much because of the lighthearted humor that was thrown out constantly during this movie. I know that many people loved this movie and it did really well in the box office. There has been talk about how they’re going to make a sequel which I would personally love to see.
