I so wanted to hate this film. I will always be team Cavill, he will always be Superman for me. But..... The film was a riot. I laughed far more than I was expecting, I was smiling more times than that. The point is, I was cheering for superman the entire way. So James Gunn has done a Guardians. This film will make you smile.

I'm only 2 episodes in, and I'm gripped. Yes, that was an Oxford comma. I first met him portraying a brooding vampire and he suits this role just as well. It's hard to put a finger on it.. But I feel an excitement at the slow reveal of the team coming together. It's formulaic, but feels original. There some Sherlock vibe happening and it's deeply satisfying to watch. Imagine House MD as an even more dysfunctional detective. I love it.

Back to basics marvel. People above powers. This has makings of TEAM!!!

This caught me completely off guard. There's a boat load of beautiful, precision violence; but that's takes a back seat. The relationship between the brothers is genuinely beautiful (Barnthal carries the film IMO), and absolutely believable. I've never seen something mix brutal and heartwarming. Outstanding film.

This film will low key save christmas for another generation. It's a beautiful thing to attempt to bring Saint Nick to a generation who don't believe in much. Who cares if its real or not; it's the kids that matter. I absolutely love what this film does for them. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.

Anybody moaning about how un-serious this film is, you're missing the point. It's about a small amount of time not worrying about your life. It's ridiculous, it's escapism, it's cute AF and it makes you smile. Detractors; fkn relax, stop taking yourself so seriously and just detach for a bit. Emma Roberts is silly and she glows with it, she's the woman we all secretly dream we had; a beautiful dreamer who can light up a room. Get a pizza and just watch it ffs
