Paul's Top Guardians of the Galaxy

27/12/2014

 
For many movie goers this year one film stood head and shoulders above the rest, Guardians of the Galaxy was a fun filled roller coaster of an experience with a great deal of charm and more laugh out loud moments then the majority of comedies out there.

Below though is my list of my favourite characters in order starting with....

5. Drax

Although played wonderfully well by Dave Bautista, the literal destroyer felt somewhat underused in this first outing. 
When called upon his timing seemed spot on and there is no doubting he brings a physical presence to the team but I really wish he had more screen time to flex his muscles.

Gamora

Although Zoe Saldana played the beautiful assassin brilliantly I had issues with the choreography of her fight scenes. They felt a little sped up at times, this could be just because it is very hard to portray a enhanced killer. Unfortunately these did bug me but her acting was great and so she steals ahead of Drax by a nose.

Star-Lord

Chris Pratt did such a great job in portraying Peter Quill that he is now seemingly influencing the comic portrayal of Star Lord. This is obviously a lot to do with the writers/ Wardrobe designers/directors and many more people but the way Pratt sells the character was the icing on the cake. Unfortunately for him he came up against two of the best digitised characters in movie history and so places third.

Rocket

Before watching the film I was sure Rocket would be number 1 on the list. The trailer which showed him all guns blazing in the Kyln, along with what I had heard of Bradley Cooper's voice made me fall in love with the wise cracking Raccoon.
In the end though he was beaten by the better man/tree.

    What this is

    The random chat is changing a little to be just as the title says. This is going to function as my place to chat about things that can come from anywhere, from TV to films to Sport to gaming. Most things are up for discussion even though I will avoid the key no no's like Religion, Politics and Macro Economics (Micro economics of the gaming/comics world though is still fair game) and of course the biggie whether the Spice Girls were the greatest musical group of all time or not. I hope to bring a taste of something different in these posts and please feel free to comment where you see fit.
