Also the show has more holes than Swiss cheese.
My girlfriend loved it and thought it was a brilliant film.

I am Groot,
We are Groot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initially viewed as one of the riskier entries into mnarvel's (then) expanding cinematic universe starring, as it did, a talking raccoon and a talking tree and taking its inspiration form one of the lesser-known Marvel comics (admit it, who'd heard of them prior to this film? Unlike, say, Captain America?) this proved to be one of its biggest hits and made a star of Chris Pratt (as Peter Quill, aka StarLord), helped - in no small part - by a killer soundtrack, a bit of comedic leanings and - of course - by the brilliant Groot!
Not quite as good as Baby Groot from the sequel, though ...

a brilliant coming of age story that centres on pride and ambition told in a way only Disney can.
Plenty of fun and live action Disney style sfx make this a great family movie.
Story:Will is the son of The Commander and Jetstream - the world's greatest superheroes, who is struggling with his awkward secret...he hasn't developed any powers, on top of that he is about to begin attending a school for hero's - Sky High.
Making friends and enemies, thing's are about to go bad!
