Next up in
Marvel Month was one of Marvel’s biggest risks, Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of
the Galaxy featured 5 relatively unknown characters forming a team in a single
movie without any movies building up to it like the Avengers has, it also
features 2 prominently CGI characters in an environment that lent itself to the
use of a lot of CGI backgrounds, so doing it on the cheap would be difficult at
best, the budget was as close as makes no difference $200m. They put less money
into Spider-man Homecoming or any of the first Avengers solo movies.
But the
gamble paid with a movie rated 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and making over $750m at
the box office. But that was Summer 2014, how does it hold up 3 years later?
Here are my thoughts
