Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3

 I always likes the Guardians entries in the Marvel universe, as these films where funnier and less serious in tenure then the regular one, so together with Noshi I sat down and watched the final instalment.

But I must say before I do the synopsis, while this is seen as a great farewell movie to the series, it just wasn`t that funny as the previous ones.

Surely it had it's moments, mostly with the Drax one-liners and Kraglin trying to master Yondu's whistle arrow, but overal, it just was more serious and "deep" then the previous films featuring our space-adventuring misfits.

Residing know on Knowhere, the Guardians are attacked by Adam Warlock, a Sovereign warrior that has been created by the high priestess Ayesha.  Rocket gets critically wounded, and the medpacks only endanger him more due to a kill-switch embedded in his body when he was created at Orgocorp, helmed by the High Evolutionary, all those years ago.

Star-Lord decides to go to the Orgocorp and find the override code, as an unconcious Rocket relives his tragic past and how he came to be, as an antormorphic experiment for a new world called Counter-Earth.  He befriends the other creatures from Batch 89, the otter Lylla, the walrus Teefs and the rabbit Floor.  The High Evolutionary was at first impressed with Rocket's development, but took a hating to him when he started to exceed his own, and wants to harvest his brain to see how this came to be.

Rocket wants to free his fellow redundant batch 89 friends before they get destroyed, but in the ensueing fight they are killed as he makes his escape with a rocket ship.  In the present, the Ravagers, with an alternate version of Gamora, help infiltrate the Guardians into Orgocorp, but find the code had been removed from Rocket's files.  They depart for Counter-earth to retrieve the code from the advisor that has it stored in his memory upgrade, but are followed by Ayesha and Adam.  

As they manage to confront the High Evolutionary, Star-Lord questions him and as the High Evolutionary tells him of how dissatisfied he is with Counter-Earth, destroys the planet and it's inhabitants.  Peter manages to obtain the code and restart Rocket's heart as the kill switch goes into motion.  On the High Evolutionary's ship, the Guardians find several genetically modified children, and a rescue mission is staged, including the bringing in of Knowhere itself, before a battle breaks out on the giant headshaped spaceship against the High Evolutionary's Hellspawn.  

Star-Lord nearly is killed, but is saved by Adam who came to see the error of his ways after being saved himself by Groot.  In the aftermath, Peter decides to leave the Guardians and rejoin with his grandfather on earth, as the other members pursue their own personal agenda's and a new team is formed with Rocket as it's leader.

And so the story ends for Star-Lord and his excentric group of unlikely heroes.  As I said at the beginning, a great farewell to the team, but alas some more "fun" as especially the first instalment had would have been great!
