The Guardians of the Galaxy film trilogy was never expected to be such a monumental success, but Marvel has won the gamble big! To end this incredible franchise in the way it deserves, the film kept all its authenticity and uniqueness through a great selection of the ’90s and 2000s musical classics, funny group exchanges, and hilarious bits, with Drax being Drax.

Come for the fun space adventures and nostalgic music hits, and stay for the emotional character arcs! This instalment certainly carries a heavier emotional toll than its predecessors, but it didn’t make the film a drag.
In fact, Rocket’s well-made backstory, which sets the whole film in motion, will move you in every possible way and finally get you to understand his complex character. Moreover, several beloved characters, like Nebula and Drax, are given a fantastic arc and a befitting finale that shows sincerity and effort in its making. The film also sets up possible continuations, new paths, and closures.
