An unfortunate injury activates Rocket's kill switch. While the rest of the Guardians attempt to acquire the override code and save their friend's life, we learn Rocket's tragic backstory at the hands of his cruel creator, the High Evolutionary. After recent duds, Thor: Love and Thunder and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is back to form, at least for now. This is a moving and entertaining but very long comic book movie, which has exciting action scenes and more endings than The Return of the King.
