Now this is what I want in a Marvel film; plenty of action, great characters, and a nice dose of humour. By far one of my favourite MCU films; it’s just plain in your face FUN!
Helped by a very strong soundtrack this film has you straight into fun film mode. The banter between characters is enjoyable and largely all the humour hits the right notes. This is the first outing for Chris Pratt’s “Starlord” and somehow Marvel manage to pull off a Raccoon and a Tree as great supporting characters. Refusing to be dragged down to all too often trodden romance heavy track, kick ass Gamora, played by Zoe Salana, holds her own despite the obvious interest of Starlord Peter.
The film doesn't get too bogged down with being part of the huge all encompassing Marvel “big picture” instead taking the delightful time needed for us to fall in love with these new characters. While the larger Universes story line is still added to this film works fine on it’s own. For me this gave me the boost I needed to get more excited for Marvel films again having felt they had not got back to the heights Iron Man hit for me.

While the plotting is still good, several new artists take turns on the pages, and the results are mixed. Marvel really needs to enlist some A levels for this title. Still enjoyable, but I fear the shiny new veneer may be wearing off...

Carol is the queen of putting crazy pressure on herself and internalizing everything. Which is one of the reasons I've always liked her, because I'm very much like that too. Overall, this was a good first entry for this run of Ms. Marvel.
