Pete...I'm done runnin'.

I'm so glad they seem to be continuing with the character stories, but I hope they are toning down the fan service and franchise building.

One of my issues is Gamora. This one doesn't have the history as the one we saw in first two movies. Are we going to see what basically amounts to a rehas of the first two movies? 

[jerrygoodman]

Are you ready for one last ride?

It's already showing, so who's seen this?  I planned to see this but couldn't find the time to do so.  Similar to other movies playing, I'll reserve my criticism/praise until I see it for myself.

I'm going on monday, with some trepidation.

I think it's good to be cautious, but I enjoyed it and I didn't spot any of the issues that have been plaguing recent MCU movies.

It's not a perfect movie and it may seem that some elements are under utilised, but overall was very satisfying.

[Salkafar]

Well that's good news...

[Salkafar]

Watched it. I was very happy.

The strong elements more than made up for the weak ones.

Connecting Rocket Raccoon's backstory to the High Evolutionary is, with hindsight, incredibly obvious and elegant in an old-school MCU way.

It's nice to enjoy a Marvel movie for a change.

 

Chukwudi Iwuji performed in DC's Peacemaker series, which was directed by James Gunn, who was apparently impressed enough to have him play the High Evolutionary here - to my delight.

Just saw this the other day.  Well, it's as GotG as GotG can get.  Nice end for the movie and wondering if it will lead to anywhere since James Gunn is now heading DC studios.  I also noticed that Nathan Fillion's appearance in many of James Gunn's film.  I just wish we had seen more of the Original Guardians of the Galaxy (Vance Astro, Martinex, etc..)
