John Basedow (@JohnBasedow) reviews ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’ starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper, with special guest Shannon Truax (@GoLuckyDuck).

MOVIE DESCRIPTION - GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan (Lee Pace), a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits: Rocket…a gun-toting raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), Groot…a tree-like humanoid (voiced by Vin Diesel), the deadly and enigmatic Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista). But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand, with the galaxy's fate in the balance.
