I really like Richard Donner’s Superman, Nolan’s Dark Knight and the first Iron Man movie, but the superhero movie that most impressed me is one that does not take itself too seriously: Guardians of the Galaxy.
Steven Spielberg’s stamp of approval is the latest praise Guardians of the Galaxy has learned upon opening to critical acclaim in August 2014.
The Guardians of the Galaxy (based off the team introduced in 2008 rather than the original iteration), on the other hand, were plucked from obscurity.
Fortunately for Spielberg and other Marvel fans, the Guardians are returning to the big screen next year for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
