Guardians Of The Galaxy Preview: 10 Things That Got Us Excited

3. It's Not A Superhero Movie

Marvel StudiosMarvel StudiosWe've talked a little about the tone setting it apart from the other superhero movies but it's also probably accurate to say that Guardians isn't a superhero movie at all. Our taster left a distinctly Star Wars flavour, or something akin to the 1980's sci-fi genre stuff like Flash Gordon or Heavy Metal and that approach definitely does the source material justice. The Star Wars comparison has already been made by many people who've seen the same footage we saw and it's more than apt. Imagine a brand new Star Wars movie but with Han, Chewie and a bunch of the bounty hunters as the main characters and that's already sounding like the best movie ever right? J.J. Abrams and his new Star Wars movies have some stiff competition from Marvel in the future.
