The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is all out ridiculous kid humor and not critical to the overall MCU story, but it’s a fun way to spend 45 minutes.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is all out ridiculous kid humor and not critical to the overall MCU story, but it’s a fun way to spend 45 minutes. Marvel’s second Disney+ special is another success! This Guardians of the Galaxy special is much more kid-focused than Werewolf by Night, with the humor dipping into extreme goofball. Still, it is nice to laugh with some of the goofier characters of the Marvel Universe. The idea to bring Kevin Bacon into the MCU as himself was comedy genius, and the whole special ends with a sweet, sincere family feeling. I wouldn’t say this Holiday Special was as impressive as Werewolf by Night, but it was fun, and the quality and effects felt on par with the movies. Again, I wouldn’t say it is a must-see, but if you love Marvel movies and a good laugh, you will enjoy giving this 45 minutes of your time.

_The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special_ does what it needs to in order to be an effective Christmas tale. It is funny, heartwarming, and filled with fantastic original Christmas songs.

_The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special_ does what it needs to in order to be an effective Christmas tale. It is funny, heartwarming, and filled with fantastic original Christmas songs. It is nothing overly special but does what it needs to. The writing for this special was pretty lackluster, there were more than a handful of lines that felt very awkward. I would question the acting, but we've seen and fell in love with these characters on the screen before, so the writing seems to be the culprit. Many of the Kevin Bacon and Kraglin's lines were cheesy and inorganic. I am not sure if that was the intent, but it just did not work for me. The comedy is fantastic and hand me audibly laughing at many scenes. It was great to see the gang back together again and has me that much more excited for Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3. Overall, this was a decent entry into the MCU. Short, fun, and lighthearted. It does not attempt to be more than that. Score: _55%_ | Verdict: _Average_
