★★★★ If we let ourselves be carried away by emotions, this movie would deserve more little stars. But we better believe that it is imperfect because that reinforces that the Guardians are among the most humane and beautiful characters that superhero fashion has given. They are much less “super” than random heroes, a group of outcasts that become family, the kind that are chosen. If the first film talked about discovering empathy and the second revolved around parenthood, this one has as its goal “being yourself”, making friends with your own story and encouraging yourself to be alone without ceasing to know that friends are always there. The plot has three strands: Gamora’s reappearance and her conflict with her boyfriend/not boyfriend Star Lord; the desperate attempt to save Rocket’s life, embedded in the story of the villain (a kind of galactic Dr. Moreau) and the very emotional core of the film, and the relationship between duty and adventure. If in some way the Guardians were a group of kids playing in the neighborhood or the square, this latest installment is about growing up, leaving childhood behind and looking at the adult world. With a lot of humor and a lot of color, behind this circus with animals and everything there is a deeply human story. It would be desirable to see the film (or the complete trilogy) beyond the Marvel stamp or fashions.
