Hilarious and action-filled!

Finally managed to watch this movie, and the wait was worth it!

The music is impeccable (as usual), and the comedy is on point. The action is great as well, with tons of thrilling sequences with interesting character designs and well choreographed fights. The environments were also fantastic, with disgusting, slimy scenes everywhere, which really drove home the whole idea of “perfecting” the world being a complete sham.

The plot doesn’t leave anything to be desired either. It’s interesting and thrilling. The main villain does a fantastic job of being hateable! I thought it was great acting by Chukwudi Iwuji, really outstanding job.

The only thing I didn’t like too much was the very notable lack of stakes. Well, obviously there were stakes, but I never got the feeling they could actually fail to get the job done. I never thought that they might actually lose, for once. On one hand, that kinda sucks, on the other hand, it’s a comedy-action movie that has great comedy and action. I don’t think the lack of tension is a big deal.

What do you think?


Rating: 4/5

    Funnier than I expected, and raccoon’s backstory was emotional and very well done. Music was top notch. 4/5 from me as well.

    I loved the movie, but goddam it was annoying how they ignored explosive decompression and exposure to the void of space when it wasn’t convenient to deal with it during those action scenes, but then sometimes did acknowledge it and sort of deal with it when they needed it for the story.

        That’s fair, but it doesn’t change that it was bad enough to break me out of the story. Like I said, I still enjoyed the movie, but instead of being something I’d definitely go back and rewatch, it’s one I probably won’t.

        I don’t mind stuff like that when it doesn’t break me out of the story. I’m this case, it was so bad I found it jarring. Still enjoyed the movie, but that was egregious.

    still haven’t gotten around to seeing it. I loved the first two but I’ve really been feeling marvel fatigue as of late, and just don’t really care anymore.

      I’m so tired of superhero movies but I really enjoyed this one. It’s better than the second one and has a ton of imaginative designs when it comes to sets and costumes. Very James Gunn-ish which I enjoy.

      Can’t relate :/

      Still, it really is pretty good!! If you liked the first 2, then you should definitely check this out.
