This year’s summer blockbuster season at the cinema is well into its stride – week four, in fact.  Transformers: Age Of Extinction, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and Hercules have all had their turn.  But now come the unlikeliest bunch of heroes of the lot – a thief, two thugs, a murderer and a maniac – and they all have the fate of 12 billion people in their hands.  They’re the Guardians Of The Galaxy.
