"Guardians of the Galaxy" released 2014



Another Marvel comic burst onto the big screen, Guardians of the Galaxy, released August 1, 2014.  A gang of intergalactic criminals band together to protect a powerful orb, stolen by Peter Quill (played by Chris Pratt), from a villain bent on using it to destroy the universe.

It also starred Zoe Saldana (Uhura from the Star Trek movies), Dave Bautista, John C. Reilly and Glenn Close.  Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel provided voices for Rocket and Groot, respectively.

After its release, it became the third highest-grossing film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and garnered mainly positive reviews.

It was nominated for two Oscars and a Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for its Awesome Mix Vol. 1, which reached #1 on the Billboard 200, the first soundtrack without original music to do so.
