I think they kind of squandered Rocket’s origin story - it would have been better served as some kind of mini series in my opinion - given how much it was bigged up.

Tone was all over the place. Same with the music, which felt like it was serving itself rather than fitting in with the film. The cast has very obviously gotten older, which isn’t necessarily a problem in itself but reinforces the idea of the series being past its best.

Thing is, I know people liked seeing Rocket’s origin story and enjoyed the film. So 🤷‍♂️
