Our opinion on The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, on Disney+:
So should we succumb to this christmas special stamp Marvel ? The question is asked, and the answer will really depend on each of you… A medium-length film that has its qualities, but also and above all a lot of flaws. Let’s start with the qualities: we appreciate the highlighting of the secondary characters, and in particular of Mantis who gains confidence and imposes himself in this story. A slightly deeper character that deserves to be developed a little more.
On the emotional side, it also works. The duo Drax/Mantis is always so funny, and the finale with Star Lord is particularly touching, brought with as much seriousness as lightness. The film also takes the opportunity to unveil some new characters, such as the telekinetic dog Cosmoas well as some plot twists revealed from the start, point blank, without suspense.
Positive points which, on the other hand, find it difficult to compete with the shortcomings of the footage… And there are shortcomings. Starting with a non-existent scenario, consisting of the kidnapping of Kevin Bacon for 40 minutes. Far too long for a three-word plot. Added to this is a sense of humor that almost always falls flat and specifications that must be followed to the letter, leaving no room for surprise, among other things, making this christmas special a tasteless footage, quickly shipped and dispensable… Too bad. To see if you are really fans!
In the casting, we therefore find the same team, with Chris Pratt in the role of a Star-Lord very sad not to have found Gamora yet, but also Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillian, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn, Vin Diesel… And Kevin Bacon, suddenly, in his own role. What to wait before the return of the Guardians to the cinema, for the third and last part of their adventures, for the month of May 2023!
