The Guardians of The Galaxy is my favorite of the Marvel franchises. It’s about one’s chosen family and defeating bad guys who threaten the galaxy. This last edition of Guardians is a good end for this band of misfits from across the galaxy. There is a lot of change happening for the crew which leads to them coming to a crossroads.
It is a movie with a lot of surprises and heart-wrenching emotions centered around Rocket the Racoon and his origin story. It’s a dark movie with some levity that I always appreciate. Serious issues are also explored too. There is a lot of heroism that you will cheer for.
You need to see the prior two movies and “Thor Love and Thunder” perhaps to understand what is going on in this movie and how these characters came together. Throw in their Christmas Special on Disney Plus for some additional laughs.
I will say it’s best seen on a big screen with good sound. Don’t wait for it to come to home video and streaming.
