Trivia
When Dave Bautista found out he got the role of Drax the Destroyer, he broke down in tears, overjoyed at getting a Marvel comic book role. He prepared for the role with an acting coach.

Goofs
(at around 22 mins) When Quill is captured by the Nova Corp and he is in front of the window being reviewed, on the text on the window to the left they list his alias as "Space Lord" not "Star Lord". This is part of a running gag in the film where no-one can remember Quill's 'codename'.

Quotes
[Groot grows a cocoon of branches to cover his friends]
Rocket Raccoon: No, Groot! You can't! You'll die! Why are you doing this? Why?
[Groot uses a thin branch to wipe away Rocket's tears]
Groot: We are Groot.

Crazy credits
There is a statement in the closing credits: "No raccoons or tree creatures were harmed during the making of this film."

8/10

An amazing film with an amazing soundtrack

Truly, here is the world we knew of Marvel expanded, because although we already knew about them from the comics this special group was not so popular.

Something to highlight about this film is its soundtrack, this does add too many points to this, making it more enjoyable and above all that it makes us sing despite what kind of scenes we are in.

The comedy is what stands out the most, but something to note is that Gunn really knew where and when to place these laughs, without spoiling and causing no one to take the film seriously.

With this movie we unite a little more to what we know will happen next with Thanos and the truth is that there is no better way to have united them than with this magnificent movie.
