Just got around to watching this movie yesterday. It's about a wise-cracking 80s music loving space outlaw Peter Quill (who wishes he was) known as Star-Lord, a gun-toting cyborg raccoon (although in his words "there ain't nobody like me but me!") with an attitude named Rocket (yes, really), a tree giant with a limited vocabulary named Groot, green skinned space babe assassin Gamorra and a muscle-bound maniac named Drax The Destroyer who do to various twists of fate end up teaming up to save the galaxy from Ronan The Accuser who seeks to harness the power of the mysterious "Infinity Sphere" to commit planetary genocide. The plot may be a fairly cliché "macguffin quest" but it's the characters and their interactions where it really shines. The plentiful action scenes are also very exciting and well choreographed.

And it was hilarious when Peter distracted Ronan at the end by challenging him to a friggin' dance-off of all things. "I'm distracting you ya big turd blossom!"
