New Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 - I seem to be the only one disappointed
Visually it was stunning. The makeup and effects were all top-notch. The witty banter was fun. The action sequences were spectacular.

So what am I complaining about? They never broke the fourth wall like Deadpool, but they leaned on that fucker so hard they cracked the drywall.

For comparison, remember the "don't tell me the odds" line from Star Wars? One and done. GoTG turned that into a whole scene - "I'll get us through this." "No, I'll get us through this!" - yanking control back-and-forth until they hit a rock. They wouldn't survive if they were really that petty ... or the stars of a movie.

And the whole Yondu/Rocket "You're me!" speech. Come on, such a blatant shot at teh feelz. And I saw it coming as soon as he started.

It almost played as "The Cabin in the Woods" for space opera, but without the meta-story to justify it. Or like "Airplane" without going full camp.

Or maybe I just heard too much praise and my expectations were too high.
