The long awaited Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday special is here and it does not disappoint. James Gunn once again proves that he sit he one to beat by weaving in an emotional through point mixed in with over the top comedy.
The whole special is about Mantis wanting Peter to have a perfect Christmas as she is hiding the fact that he is her brother. This makes her want to get home the best Christmas present ever, so her and Drax set off to earth to get Kevin Bacon.
Pom Klementieff and Dave Bautista continue to show their amazing chemistry together as Mantis and Drax just bounce off each other and their every interaction just leaves a great big smile on your face.
However, this special does belong Pom Klementieff who just does an outstanding role as Mantis. If you didn’t love this character before then after you watch this speacial she will defiantly be one of your favourite guardians. I have really enjoyed Pom Klementieff as Mathis in the previous films but here she just takes the character to a new level and I’m very excited to see what James Gunn has planned for her in volume 3.
Also as this is a James Gunn project one thing you can believe is spot on is the soundtrack. Every song here fits exactly what is going on in the scene at the time and that opening song is absolutely hilarious.
This special is defiantly going to become a Christmas classic to watch every year and is by far one of their best projects Disney Plus has put out so far.
