“From Marvel, the studio that launched the epic franchises of “Iron Man,” “Thor,” “Captain America” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” comes an unlikely new team—the “Guardians of the Galaxy.” The Marvel Cinematic Universe expands into the cosmos when brash space adventurer Peter Quill steals a coveted orb and becomes the object of a relentless bounty hunt. To evade his enemies, Quill forges an uneasy truce with Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly assassin Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb, he must rally his ragtag band of misfits for a desperate battle that will decide the fate of the galaxy. Featuring amazing new characters and exclusive bonus features, this must-own blockbuster will have you hooked on a feeling… of pure adrenaline!”
I was on the Blogger Disney press trip for this movie. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. So, for the sake of disclosure, I am 100% biased in saying that this is the must own movie of the year!
“Chris Pratt (“The Lego Movie,” TV’s “Parks and Recreation”) as Peter Quill, Zoe Saldana (“Avatar,” “Star Trek”) as Gamora, Dave Bautista (“Riddick,” “The Man with the Iron Fists”) as Drax, Vin Diesel (“Fast and the Furious” series, “Riddick”) as Groot, Bradley Cooper (“American Hustle,” “Silver Linings Playbook”) as Rocket, Lee Pace (“The Hobbit” series, “Lincoln”) as Ronan, Michael Rooker (TV’s “The Walking Dead”) as Yondu Udonta, Karen Gillan (“Oculus,” TV’s “Doctor Who”) as Nebula, Djimon Hounsou (“How to Train Your Dragon 2,” “Gladiator”) as Korath, John C. Reilly (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”) as Corpsman Dey, Glenn Close (TV’s “Damages,” “Tarzan”) as Nova Prime and Benicio Del Toro (“Traffic,” “The Usual Suspects”) as The Collector.”
On the press trip I interviewed Chris, Zoe, Dave, Vin, and James Gunn, the Director. Again, an amazing experience, we are just a lot of fun, we ask the hard questions that the other journalists don’t ask, for example, I asked Chris Pratt if he had been required to take dance lessons for his role!
I also saw this movie a second time, I took my son when he returned form camp. We are all going another time as my spouse has yet to see this! And then we are getting the Blu-ray combo pack, I am dying to see if they put in any extras that we had discussed with the Director, like the Dave Bautista (Drax) dance scene!
Get it First on Digital HD plus Disney Movies Anywhere November 18th,
and on Blu-ray™ 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray and On-Demand December 9th!
I have to say, I think this is the best movie of the franchise yet so far. I’m in love with Guardians of the Galaxy!
