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.
From Wikipedia: Set twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Jurassic World takes place on the same fictional island of Isla Nublar, where a fully-functioning dinosaur theme park has operated for ten years. The park plunges into chaos when a genetically-modified dinosaur, Indominus rex, breaks loose and runs rampant across the island.
I wasn’t sure what to think about this 4th movie but I enjoyed it. There was a lot to think about in this movie and it continues on the themes of the first movie. They do a great job of linking the past with the present with some differences. Jurassic World is everything the park would be in the future. It makes a commentary on the human condition where we have the need to be entertained in bigger, bolder ways.
Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are great in this movie along with the rest of the cast that includes Judy Greer, Vincent D’Onofrio and BD Wong. Jimmy Fallon makes a cameo too. Friends I say go see this if you were a fan of the original movie. Expect to be more terrified instead of grossed out. You will sort of know what is coming but there are still some surprises and lots of chaos at times.
