The Best MCU Movie By a LANDSLIDE

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2019)

I'll keep this brief. The action, effects, acting, story, comedy, and characters were all fantastic, which would have been enough to get it a 9/10. However, what boosts it up to 10/10 is just how dedicated this movie is to giving wish fulfillment to the comic fans.
As a comic fan, the moment I saw that the Ego planet ACTUALLY had a face, I was blown away. When I saw that they had Ego walking around as a human, I just assumed that would probably be the most we'd get, and I was fine with it. I assumed that showing Ego, a planet with a face, was just too silly and absurd for them to put in the movie, and I accepted that. But the madmen DID IT! They put it in! They didn't have to, but they did! That was probably too wacky for most average movie-goers, but as someone who has read the comics featuring Ego, I cannot express how happy I was for them to be so faithful to his original depiction. Sure they changed plenty of stuff for this movie, but I'm fine with that. I get that some details about characters just don't translate super well to film. But that's not what matters to me. I just wanted them to be faithful to the IDEA of Ego, the core qualities that made him such a fun character in the comics, and they did it! They gave a planet a flipping FACE!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not just some weirdo obsessed with planets with faces. I'm just so blown away that they would care enough to try and bring that to life in film. That faithfulness to the spirit of the source material is what gets this movie a 10/10. Fantastic.
