Guardians of the Galaxy review

There’s something delightfully familiar about The Guardians of the Galaxy - that wacky combination of humour and action within a setting that feels dense.

Marvel’s newest outing opts to expand the universe, showing the audience that there’s more than just the Asguardians, frost giants and giant purple men in gold armour running around space.

Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) was abducted from Earth by a bunch of space pirates when he was just a kid.

While the story of a young boy growing up on a spaceship full of mercenaries and discovering a weird, wonderful universe would be an entertaining one, the film decides to pick up 25 years later.

Thor: The Dark World

Out of all the Avengers I think Thor probably has to be my favourite, which is why I was so excited to see the big beardy hammerman get a sequel.

Thor: The Dark World follows directly from The Avengers and beardface's first film, with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) crusading around outer space/the Nine Realms cleaning up after his brother Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) mess.

For those not in the know (which is weird. Who goes to see the sequel of two separate movie franchises without seeing both said movies?) Thor was forced to destroy the main mode of transportation around the Nine Realms at the end of the first Thor film.
