They teased a finale and boy, is it ever. Guardians 3 is action-packed and filled with laughs, but it wears it's broken heart on its sleeve for the majority of its runtime. In particular, your soul will be crushed with Rocket Racoon's origin story. If you have a really soft spot for fluffy animals, be warned and maybe even steer clear. A decent 30-minute chunk of the film is the Rocket story, and as something standalone, it might be one of the best things Marvel has ever made. Ultimately, it brings a new dimension to a fan-favorite character whose novelty may have already been wearing thin. The rest of the film is just the kind of dynamite entertainment only James Gunn can provide. There's nothing like seeing the guardians travel and explore in the many bizarre realms of the galaxy. Even folks with Marvel fatigue won't be able to resist this.
