				"I look around at us and 
				you know what I see? Losers. I mean, like, folks who have lost 
				stuff. 
				And we have, man, we have, all of us. Our homes. Our 
				families. Normal lives. Today it's giving us something. 
				It is 
				giving us a chance." 
				- Quill 
				Why watch this? 
				This intergalactic MCU film has a much lighter tone, and it 
				works. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Peter Quill, a space adventurer known as Star-Lord, steals a 
				powerful and mysterious orb, drawing the attention of the 
				villainous Ronan the Accuser. To evade Ronan, Quill forms an 
				uneasy alliance with a group of outlaws including Gamora, Drax 
				the Destroyer, Rocket, and Groot. When they discover the orb's 
				true, dangerous nature, this ragtag group must learn to work 
				together and prevent Ronan from using it to destroy the galaxy. Dad's Preview: 
				GOTG is kinda like 
				Star Wars 
				(1977) on 
				an acid trip - stuff flying everywhere - aliens, spaceships, action. Director 
				James Gunn brings the beloved Marvel characters to life. Chris 
				Pratt is their likeable leader, Quill. Bradley Cooper is delightful as the 
				wise-cracking space raccoon, Rocket. You'll even root for Groot, a 
				grunting plant-man! This 
				super-team film is a solid 
				MCU entry!
