Movie Review - Guardians of the Galaxy

Best movie of the summer.  Actually the best summer movie in years.  5 Chinny rating.  This movie has something for everyone.  It has action.  Humor.  Love story.  Heroes.  Villians.  Good characters.  Inside jokes.  And?  A great soundtrack.  
     I wasn't sure what to expect going in.  I had read the comic while college.  I didn't recall much about it though.  The trailer looked promising.  But while watching the trailer, I secretly hoped it wasn't a collection of all the good parts.  
     I laughed out loud during this movie.  Often.  I appreciated all the 80's references  No spoilers but anyone my age should love the throwback humor. There was the great tie in to the rest of the Marvel universe.  My son laughed through the whole thing too.  Out loud.  And often.  
     Breakout role for Chris Pratt.  He was fantastic.  And Bradley Cooper like you have never seen him.  Actually, you don't really see him in the film.  But the voice role was spectacularly done.  I think the crowds will be quoting "I am Groot" for years to come....
