Guardians of the Galaxy


Marvel did it again. I have to admit when I first heard of the making of Guardians of the Galaxy, I was more than reluctant to give it a chance. While I love every marvel movie, this felt like it was trying to compete with The Avengers at first.. However, once I saw the first trailer, my mind couldn't have changed more. Besides the whole team of heroes fighting evil thing, It's nothing like The Avengers. I believe it actually has opened a whole new realm of possibility for Marvel movies, and it sort of paved the way for Ant-Man's comedic feel. Its on a whole other playing field, and I'm more than a fan of the new team.  
While all of the songs used for this triumphant action packed comedy were more than well-known, this film had a way of revitalizing each one and making them its own. Of course, the most revitalized song for this movie has to be "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede. It played in the trailer and became the undeclared new theme song for the movie. The next most memorable has to be the use of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. While it didn't quite revitalize the song as it does all the others used, it was a perfectly chosen song for the ending montage. I can't wait to see what songs are used in the sequel, coming in May of 2017.
