Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3

We watched this en famille in Odeon Ayr (maybe one of the last films we will see there - check out main blog). The film packs in an awful lot and isn't, in my opinion, 100% successful. Oh, it's a good watch and I wouldn't put anyone off seeing it, especially if they are GoG fans, but it seems to try to cram too much in. Sad backstory competes with more comical present story, so the overall feeling of the movie is... odd.
   I have one niggle, too. That is, despite wearing my trusty hearing aid, I could only make out about 70% of what the characters were saying. Afterwards, I ascertained that everyone had the same problem. Not a huge problem, given the type of film GoG3 is, but on at least one occasion stuff was happening but I had no idea what it was because I'd missed the verbal set-up.
   So in my opinion it's not as good as GoG and GoG2, but it's probably still worth forking out to see it.
