Guardians of the Galaxy. Good Flick

Saw it last night.  It's doing well, the Jax was pretty full and it's been playing up here for 3 days already.  It's a pure space opera. Think of the first Star Wars.  That kinda good.  Best flick out of Hollywood this year.  The cast are all new names to me. 
   It's live action (with a fair amount of CGI) rather than a cartoon.  We have a handsome hero, a deadly fast samurai chick, a three foot tall raccoon who plans jailbreaks, Grout, a strange half plant half man who doesn't talk much, and a big beefy bruiser with a bald head and a big grudge.  Over the course of the movie they go from wanting to kill each other to that good old three musketeers "One for all, all for one" spirit.  Lots of combat.  Nasty villains.  Decent score, old but good pop music from the '90s.  There is a plot, the action mostly follows it, I could mostly follow it.  It's too complicated to explain here.  The good guys win in the end. 
   You oughta go see it.  Take the kids, they will love it.
