Another interesting thing is when you go into a movie with really high expectations AND the movie meets them. That's a rare event. It's hard to describe this movie since 'fun' doesn't do it justice since there's some great sci-fi in this too. The best way to describe it is by my favourite line in the movie, it's a sci-fi movie that actually has the line, "They got my dick message!"
Brilliant use of soundtrack too. I think I could watch a tree creature dancing to Jackson Five for hours on end without getting bored. Chris Pratt is absolutely perfect in this role, a cross between Han Solo and Indiana Jones. I never thought Bradley Cooper would have been a good voice-acting choice, but I was very wrong. He's great. The only bad choice, for me, was Michael Rooker as Yondu, he's just a little too familiar. I'm not sure about Glenn Close either.
The movie is just a ton of fun and I caught myself smiling and laughing way more times than I expected. Loved it.
