Like, outside of the first 20-30 minutes, in which we have to review everything from the Christmas special and set up all the shit, the movie's pretty straight up James Gunn. It's weird, it's got wonderfully offbeat design work, it's low-key cruel and mean, it's easily funnier than the others, and the effects work is really strong by recent MCU standards-- probably because Gunn had so much power following the outcry over his removal that he was able to say to them, "Nah, I *storyboard* my movies, and I'm not changing entire locations and costume designs in post," without getting overruled by the suits.
It's not as good as Guardians 1 or The Suicide Squad... but I had fun.
