This movie is REALLY messy. The costume and world designs are unpleasant to watch, the dialogue feels uninspired, and the action scenes are mid. However, as a lot of people have already said, Rocket's backstory is well done and actually did make me feel sorry for him. I'm going to say it: the only genuinely good scenes in this movie are the ones of Rocket's past; the rest are lame. I feel like this movie was trying too hard to be quirky and different sometimes to the point where anything goes as long as it hasn't been done before. It's like they were only going for the shock factor with some of the scenes. Overall I didn't enjoy my time watching this but at least I learned how it feels to eat without watching YouTube.

The epic finale to the Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy and Marvel finally pulls themselves together with help from James Gunn to give them a good send-off. With Rocket's backstory and the High Evolutionary, the story was great. I will say though, this movie is a bit heavier on the story and lighter on the jokes making a different kind of Marvel/Guardians experience. Also, it's different having, well, a different Gamora. There were some things I didn't like about the movie but those are small things, like how they didn't wear their iconic suits, etc. Overall great send-off to the Guardians and Star-Lord, and probably Marvel's last good film they are gonna make.

This is probably the last good movie the MCU will ever make. Rocket's backstory is the best part of the movie. It's very sad and it makes you consider everything the character has been through. The rest of the movie is great too. Most Marvel direction is crap, but James Gunn has always done a good job at directing the GotG movies, and this one is no exception. Every character gets a satisfying conclusion in the end, even poor Rocket. It's hilarious and it made me laugh out loud during several scenes. If I had problems with it, they would be the overly complicated story, an abundance of useless characters, tonal whiplash on several occasions, etc. If I were to rank this compared to the other GotG films, I would put it under Vol. 2 and above Vol. 1. That means it's the second best film in the MCU. That's a little sad.
