Two weeks ago I sat in a theater at the Walt Disney Studios and was barely keeping my excitement contained. I was about to see the new Marvel Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy (Being officially released today August 1, 2014) at the very first screening for the Press. I felt like I did as a kid when I was about to see Back to the Future in the theater for the very first time. I knew that adventure, excitement and laughter was ahead. I was eleven years old again in what has always been, in my mind the best year ever, 1985. I still cling to the things I loved from my childhood in the 80s, the toys, the movies (and movie references) and the music.

When I had first heard that a Guardians of the Galaxy movie was being made I looked into just who these Guardians were. Then on an episode of Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man the Guardians showed up to work with Spider-Man and it completely clicked for me. I got it, I got who these characters were and I wanted to know more. I read a ton of comic books about the characters. I also read wikis and scoured the internet for the latest news on the movie. I also posted a ton of news and videos and more about the movie. My excitement level for this movie has been very high for a very long time. I was not disappointed.

The Review is after the jump and I tried very hard to keep it Spoiler Free. Continue reading Review of Guardians of the Galaxy from the #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyEvent

During the #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyEvent that I attended a coupe of weeks ago I had the pleasure to be part of a group interview with Zoe Saldana who plays Gamora in the movie. Zoe has played many strong female roles in sci-fi movies including Lt. Uhura in the Star Trek reboots and Neytiri in the Avatar series. When speaking to Zoe you can’t help but notice the quiet grace of this fiercely intelligent and intense woman. Zoe told us about her motivations for taking the role and her input to make Gamora more than simply eye candy. Plus she likes the Thundercats so that makes her awesome in my book.
