This was a very middle-of-the-road James Gunn movie. Loved the humour but the rest of the script and story beats were incredibly cliched. Some of the editing in action scenes was messy to the point of being distracting, so I wasn't as engaged as I could have been.

Otherwise the movie was very decent fun, and Chris Pratt is a star in the making. Bring your popcorn. If you enjoy James Gunn movies, then this is definitely a hell of a James Gunn movie and almost up there with Slither and Super.

For what it's worth the movie still rates in the top 5 for me among the MCU movie, the list being CA:TWS, IM, IM3, TA, and GotG. Could've been so much better though.
