10 Comic Book Movies For People Who Don't Like Comic Book Movies

10. Guardians of the Galaxy

When broken down to its core essentials, Guardians of the Galaxy feels like the antithesis of an accessible comic book movie. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to sell the uninitiated on a film that features a living tree, the guy from Parks and Rec, and a wise-cracking raccoon with a machine gun? If you get the right writers into the fold though, you wind up with one of the greatest adventure movies of the modern age.

Compared to the rest of the MCU, Guardians of the Galaxy feels a lot more suited to the action-adventure style of filmmaking that we've seen in the golden age of movies. Whereas you always know when you're watching an Avengers movie, the ravager angle of Peter Quill along with the mercenary mentality playing off of Rocket and Groot feels much more suited to a space age comedic version of something like Indiana Jones.

You will also rarely find another comic book movie that wears its heart on its sleeve like this one, with the backstory of Quill's mom being enough to reduce any creature to tears.

For as much as it might seem silly at the outset, you can't really deny the amount of charm that comes with Guardians.
