MPR News Arts Reporter and Cube Critic Euan Kerr joins Steve Seel and Jade (in for Jill Riley) to talk about a new film inspired by Marvel Comics characters.

Guardians of the Galaxy stars Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana as Peter Quill and Gamora, respectively. Quill — who wants to be called "Star-Lord" — is an American pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants. The film is directed by James Gunn.

Euan calls it "one of the most fun movies of the summer — one of those 'splosion movies, with fast one-liners delivered by raccoons in trees."

Listen to the audio above to hear Euan's full review.

Guardians of the Galaxy is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language. It is playing at theaters everywhere.

MPR's Movie Maven, Stephanie Curtis, joins The Current's Morning Show to talk about films every Friday at 8:30 a.m.
