Yesterday, after collecting Leia from the dog sitter, my wife, daughter and I went home, had breakfast and the entire family decided to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. I had mentioned that we should have watched it on Saturday, as we were dog free at the time, but most were too tired for this. I did feel mean leaving Leia behind who watched us abandon her (again) as we all left for the cinema. Things were made worse when we watched the film, not just because of Cosmo the space-dog, but also the eyes of Rocket.
The film itself was very enjoyable. There were a few minor issues for me, notably a head growing back so quickly and also ALL the survivors of a badly damaged vessel being rescued with just one casualty. It had a decent plot, a great soundtrack and as usual, I love the characters. Although Gamora was a bit irritating, she was meant to be. I look forwards to the opportunity to watch it again.
My daughter took Leia out for a long walk and the dog herself was tired by the time my wife and I went to join Lyndsay and Nick. My daughter joined us for the pub quiz and helped us take third place, which is a record for us. We are never going to win the quiz, but it is fun to take part in it, and it is well run as while the winning team win a prize, there is a bonus prize which all teams have a chance of winning as well.
If you are interested in watching the film, it is best to avoid the trailer. As with many trailers, while fun, the film is best watched without seeing the trailer first.
