In this last GotG movie the crew go up against Rocket's (Bradley Cooper) creator the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji). After a failed capture attempt by Adam Warlock (Will Poulter) Rocket is left dying. Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldaña), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Drax (Dave Bautista), Groot (Vin Diesel) and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) go on a heist to get the codes that will unlock Rocket's suicide bomb (the High Evolutionary likes to keep his proprietary secrets) so they can then heal him. Eventually though they'll have to face off against HE himself on his huge pyramid space ship.

The action and humor are good. Graphics are great. Story is a bit simple but fine for a superhero movie. The subplots are the best part though. Everybody sort of resolves their issues:

• Star-Lord finally lets go of the idea that he and the new Gamora are meant to be together and he decides to head back to Earth to reconcile with his grandfather.
• Gamora realizes that the old Gamora did have a good family in the GotG but the new Gamora also has a good family in the Ravagers.
• Nebula maybe realizes she's too negative and critical of others and in the end decides to become mayor of Knowhere.
• Drax gets everyone else to realize he's not the stupid brick of the team, he's good with kids, and accepts Nebula's offer to join her running Knowhere which has a huge influx of super-smart kids.
• Groot finally develops into his adult form which is quite the combat monster.
• Mantis realizes she's always trying to help everyone but herself so she decides to leave the group in order to find out who she really is.

This is a good ending to the first GotG team and I like that we have a postscript showing Rocket leading a new team with Groot, Adam Warlock, a flying brick born in the previous movie; Kraglin (Sean Gunn), former Ravager and inheritor of Yondu's whistle-guided needle weapon; Cosmo (Maria Bakalova), a telekinetic/telepathic Russian space dog; and Phyla (Kai Zen), one of the rescued super-smart kids.

Overall, GotG v1 was great, v2 was a letdown, v3 brings it back to great.
