Great animation as always from studio Ghibli
Story was great! Touches on war and the consequences of it and the tidings it brings; destruction all around. Have to say the dramatic Calcifer was my favourite character in the movie!

I was hesitant going into the theater for this one. I read a few reviews before I went... Which was dumb. I loved this movie. Matthew Vaughn directs very beautiful violent scenes. I also loved Eggsy. I was a little sad that Merlin was killed off. Also, going into it, I wasn't sure that bringing back Harry or, Galahad Sr, was a good idea. But, the way he was worked back into the story, I was alright with it. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it again.

Main story revolves around Peter finding his dad. Also, Peter accepts that the thing he has been searching for far and wide (the whole galaxy), has been there all along right beside him and after losing that he appreciated what he had and he comes to term with the loss. There is a side story of a long standing sisterly rivalry between Gamora and Nebula, which sort of resolves; they find that they do care about each other. Always have. Groot is cute as ever and Rocket accepts that, yes, he does care for the team and that he does have a heart. Drax is...Drax. The new addition (Mantis) is innocent (like baby Groot).
