I just finished watching Marvel’s “Guardians Of the Galaxy” for the first time on BluRay disc and I thought the film was amazing as expected. The film was a nice blend of comedy, sci-fi, drama and action. The film had a great cast. The movie was beautifully filmed and the script was well-written too. While the cast did a great job, I was most impressed with Dave Bautista who played, Drax The Destroyer. Drax would be the one you’d want to pay attention to the most.
If you don’t know who Dave Bautista is, he was a former WWE star. He was a pro wrestler for most of his life now and he finally wants to move on from pro wrestling and try to start an acting career. His acting career is already taking off. His first major role was in the film, “The Man With the Iron Fist” and then he got landed a role in “Riddick”. Then here comes an even bigger role for Dave in, “Guardians of the Galaxy”. Dave was real enjoyable in “Guardians”. You’d probably enjoy him too even if you’re not a wrestling fan.
After this movie, I noticed he got signed a role in 007 “Spectre” and he’s gonna star in the “Kickboxer” remake. So yeah, after his role of Drax in “Guardians” Dave is gonna be a huge movie star in his future. I don’t think he’ll ever be back in WWE which is good for him.
Could Dave’s new movie career be just as big as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? I think it will happen for Dave. I thought Dave’s acting in “Guardians” was great. I’m looking forward to seeing him in “007: Spectre” as well.
I think Dave should have a role in “Expendables 4” ’cause that would be a cool addition. As you can see Dave is a pretty huge dude so he’s probably gonna star in a lot of action movies.
A lot of pro wrestlers have started movie careers over the years… everyone from Andre The Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan, Jesse Ventura, The Rock, etc. The list goes on but most of them haven’t starred in that many blockbuster movies with the exception of Dwayne Johnson obviously. I think Dave is gonna be bigger than all of them.
Even if you’re not into superhero flicks that much, you should still check out, “Guardians of the Galaxy”. It was a real superhero story that actually had a plot and a good one too. I’m looking forward to the sequel already and yes, I too think there should be an “Avengers and Guardians” cross-over film. Check out, “Guardians”, you won’t be disappointed at all. Very enjoyable flick, I liked it a lot.
