I've just seen Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 in 3D IMAX at the BFI London Waterloo, the largest cinema screen in the country touching twenty feet, or three double-decker buses. And it is definitely one of those films which benefits from size and some semi-decent 3D for the delineation of the one-shot fight scenes, which it seems this technology was built for. Don't do fast cuts with 3D unless you want your audiences popcorn to return. But long tracking shots in and out of the action? It's a wild ride. Thank you Mr Gunn.

The Guardians Of The Galaxy movies also draw most deeply on the comic books in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and this is no exception. Man, Bill Mantlo would have loved to have seen this. He's just one of the many creators listed in the credits during their special thanks, before the post-credits scene… and the post-credits note.

Mike Mignola for the Rocket Raccoon mini-series that introduced the Halfworld, also written by Bill Mantlo made up the biggest aspect of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3, High Evolutionary and Adam Warlock being created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, could be considered covered by the Groot credits apparently, any egregious ommissions?
