After a slight delay, I saw the latest Marvel Film.
Did they close the Trilogy strong after a long absence?
The Good
* The Film tells a good story, with a mix of narratives and character arcs
* It is fun to meet up with the Guardians again after a few years away (barring a Cameo).
* Seeing Rocket's origin and wrapping up the Plot Threads here is appreciated.
* The mix of humor, action, and drama is better than in their last Film- by a mile!
* The Film is a good bit of visual splendor with its new Characters and Worlds, plus the Soundtrack is great again.
* More Cosmo is always a good thing. Good dog!
The Bad
* The (necessary) focus on (CGI) animal abuse for Science will make parts of the Film a hard watch for some. It is kind of the point though.
* Not enough Howard the Duck. He needs a new Film!
* To be honest, I didn't feel Kraglin's Arc as much as I think I was supposed to. It was alright.
* The Film walks a fine line between using the Music to ACCENTUATE the Scene and using the Music to MAKE the Scene. It can be a bit on the nose, as much as I love 'Space Hog.'
* Likewise, its funny to see how they can't really explain the Gamora situation (it is complicated, for sure!) and her Arc is just 'not hating Star-Lord.' Welcome to the Internet in the years since Avengers: Infinity War, dear.
* Nitpicks aside, it is sad to see this Cast go.
In summary, the majority of Marvel and/or Guardians fans will love this. It's a fun, but bittersweet Finale.
