The intergalactic Musketers finally swear their oath to each other....

Warning: Spoilers
The real force of the movie is that it contains a lot of humor of the more self-ironic stuff. The group dynamics of the Guardians is, until around 2/3 into the movie, based on interpersonal conflicts that are depicted in the most funny way.

When the guardians actually put aside their thirst for revenge and distrust to each other it helps them fall into their specific role that fits their special abilities and this makes them fight as a unity. I had a wish for this to happen but as it progressed I found to my surprise that it was boring. With the loss of their dark sides they became one dimensional with predictable behaviour. For instance they prove their friendship by risking their own lives saving each other, they have their moments of doubt that they overcome and they redeem themselves. All of this adds to a very solemn atmosphere that stands in a stark contradiction to the first part of the movie.

This harmony cannot develop with sarcastic comments and antisocial behaviour so I am sad to say that the very happy end competes with any Disney story...

The big showdown isn´t bad - the special effects are cool but everybody knows what it will up to so the suspense is absent.

Regards Simon
