The Single Greatest Thing In Each MCU Movie
16. Guardians Of The Galaxy - James Gunn's Brilliant Screenplay
Is the script for Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn's delightful space comedy, the best MCU script to date? It's certainly up there.
It is one hell of a screenplay that offers so much to every viewer. The action sequences are thrilling and creative, the characters are beautifully developed, the jokes are hysterical and perhaps most importantly of all, the script does a fine job at mixing light and darkness. This movie is pretty tough at times and does have plenty of emotional punches within all the comedy.
With its mastery of thrills, comedy and dramatic resonance, Guardians of the Galaxy is a film that offers something for everyone. The screenplay also provides excellent support to the film's outstanding ensemble cast and really brings out the best in all of them.
The final battle is disappointing and the villain sucks, but for the most part Guardians of the Galaxy is just an incredibly well-written blockbuster. It's thanks to this sublime script that Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the most beloved and successful MCU flicks.
