What a way to finish up James Gunn's run at the helm of the Guardians franchise. He has crafted a fitting finale for his iteration of guardians with the usual bickering, action and laughs while weaving in a moving backstory of Rocket's origins which hit home in a very real-world way.
By now the main cast have gotten all the kinks worked and and their easy chemistry keeps even the quieter moments humming along. Even at 2 and a half hours, this cracks along where Vol. 2 got bogged down.
This for me also has the best soundtrack of the three and really tops and tails the film with two absolute bangers for what it's worth.
This was always going to be a better iteration of the marvel machine over some of the latest entry's as it was always a home run with this cast and crew.
It's sad that Gunn is moving on to overseeing the DC universe but hopefully he will be able to meld his darker tones and humour into the more serious material that DC have to offer.
