Ink of Blood

(This review may contain spoilers).

This was another film I’d decided to watch when I first saw it advertised. I’ve become quite taken with superhero things recently and this looked like it might be quite good.

I did find myself pulled into this film really easily. The first scene had just enough emotion to help me to identify with Peter’s character… or Starlord, perhaps.

I felt the film did spend enough time introducing the different characters and it was interesting to see the way they interacted together. There were some humorous moments in the film, but it was also nice that there were some more serious scenes, too.

The special effects in the film worked really well, too. It was also good to see some link-ins from the other Marvel films, though I felt this film was able to stand on its own really well.

Groot and Rocket were my favourite characters. I would have liked to know a bit more about Groot’s history. I also liked the hints of Peter’s relationship with Gamora, though his heroic moment did get somewhat spoiled.

There is a final mini-scene at the end of the credits. I couldn’t say that it adds anything to the film, but there is one there.

All in all, I felt this film was really entertaining to watch. I think it’s one I would buy on DVD when it comes out… though probably not straight away.
