Day 88: Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special

December 27, 2022

Dear Disney,

Darling and I waited until after Christmas to watch this movie. Holiday Specials have a 50% success rate, so by waiting until after Christmas if the special was good then it would extend the season at least one more day; if the special was bad, it would not interfere with the season. We watched this special, with little expectations, and we were happily surprised.

As this special is still a recent release, we will complete the review with limited spoilers. Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special begins where we leave the Guardians after Thor, Love and Thunder. Peter Quill had been explaining to his fellow Guardians what Christmas was. Mantis, wanting to make Peter happy, convinces Drax to go with her on an adventure to get Peter the perfect Christmas present.

The special is witty, with smart dialog and funny individual scenes. The over-arching story is simple but engaging. The special effects are limited, but what is there is well done.

Darling and I thoroughly enjoyed the special. We did not expect to find a loving and caring Holiday Special in the Marvel Universe, but there is now one. If you enjoy the Marvel Universe, this is a great addition.

Till tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Jim Dear and Darling

Till tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Jim Dear and Darling
