Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

This packed an emotional wallop.

It had old favorites and new & equally memorable additions and was powered by an awesome sound track and the exchanges and dialogues full of fresh wit.

It had an eclectic group of friends, trying to save one of them. It had a heart- rending back story.

It had a meaner villain than almost every other Marvel studio film, since the Endgame.

It did not have a pack of super heroes confronting the next existential threat for all of mankind.

It is an almost perfect sendoff to the guardians. It is a James Gunn signature creation, with his creative imprint on the the look, feel and hear of every frame.

I had postponed seeing this until now as every other Marvel film, except the second Black Panther, seemed to be derivative of every other film with only minor tweaks.

This easily tops ALL of them, by some distance. LOVED IT.
