It may have been a lesser-known Marvel property, but Guardians of the Galaxy is recognizably winning summer fare. (* * * out of four; rated PG-13, opening Thursday night in some theaters and Friday nationwide).
No need to be a sci-fi nerd or a comic book geek to enjoy it, the witty banter and charismatic characters will delight general audiences. Even if the biggest laughs come courtesy of a talking raccoon and the more poignant moments involve a monosyllabic tree.
Still, there's a distinctly human element to draw audiences. Chris Pratt is terrific in the lead role of Peter Quill, an irreverent intergalactic outlaw.
