Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy

It's funny. It's loud.  Two babes are fighting it out.  Great music.  There's also a wise-ass mammal.  That's what Guardians of the Galaxy has going for it.  As an older member of the viewing public, I didn't know what to expect from this movie.  It was based on a teenage comic book saga now on the widescreen because Hollywood lacks its own creativity.  However, this movie at heart is a traditional western.  Think the Magnificent Seven reduced to five with the setting in outer space and lots of special effects.  The plot also reminds me of  The Chronicles of Riddick but not so dark.  Needless to say the movie is about a group of misfits who banded together to save the universe from a dominating overlord because at heart they are noble heroes.  You can't resist it.  The execution is highly stylized with plenty of pop culture references to keep it interesting.  It's worth your time and effort to go.
