First off - movies ending with forced dancing INSIDE the movie logic just are annoying to me. The way dancing was handled GotG2 was totally fine, but this was some end of Jedi dancing stuff times 2, just not logical inside of the movie. (The 40 Year Old Virgin, or Something About Mary placed great dance scenes in the credits, each in a different way.)
I also didn't like when Rocket was hurt the sequence of events where they'd travel somewhere then say "We have to go to place X to save Rocket's life!!!, and FAST!" Saying those things out loud in stilted dialogue instead of making me *feel* the urgency wasn't great.
This felt like Peacemaker's tone got into it sometimes. Maybe even some of the Christmas special.
It did NOT need the "Open the fucking door" line - again, seemed like Peacemaker's tone got in a GotG movies.
Linda Cardellini as Lylla was great (another actor playing more than one role in Marvel.)
The tone shifted a lot, maybe too much. Not as bad as Thor Love and Thunder - but yeah.
And what's with Gamora's Ravager group having a group hug? I remember Yondu and Taserface we're pawing at each other after a long day's work.
And not killing the high evolutionary was just plain stupid. Dude's going to come back at some point.
I enjoyed the film just fine, but I'm not sure if I'll be revisiting it much. (And I've watched Shang-Chi 3 times.)
