Hey, in case you haven’t heard, Marvel Comics has started their own film and TV studio, Marvel Studios, in order to make movies of their characters. Then, they got purchased by the entertainment juggernaut, Disney and have not only been successful at making these movies, but they have created a truly new cinematic experience in their Marvel Cinematic Universe where all of the movies interconnect and the characters live and play in the same universe.
Today marks the release of their 10th movie, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, directed by James Gunn, which we are quite fond of here at BigFanBoy. You can check out Mark’s review here, but simple searches on the internet and social media show that the world is going crazy for Marvel’s latest. With that in mind, Marvel has released a great retrospective that showcases key moments from all 10 of their films with some previously unreleased footage (wanna see Thanos in GOTG? He’s in here) as well as a brief tease at their eleventh film, AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON.
Check out the video below for a great look-back and then do yourself a favor and go see GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY in the theaters this weekend. If you have already seen it, go see it again. It only gets better with every viewing.

An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which first appeared in comic books in Marvel Super-Heroes, Issue #18 (Jan. 1969), stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, featuring Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, with John C.
