I liked this a bit more than the second one, but it came nowhere near the first one. What I disliked about the beginning was the endless queue of jokes that felt kind of flat. It didn't have the charme of the first one. You got the feeling the Guardians don't like each other. Especially the way they spoke about each other, basically without any respect, made this a dull affair. This got better towards the end of the movie though and I liked that Nebula was better integrated.
Yes, the flashbacks to Rockys past were done well mostly. This was the part that I feared would be to unsuited for our daughter (12y), but it was ok. It was even a bit too childish for me in some regards. But what really makes this one of the least child-friendly Marvel Movies is the brutality in combination with questionable morality. The Guardians save animals and Children, but slaughter the results of the experiments of the High Evolutionary without any hint of merci. And all this in very explicit depiction. I guess they just had less luck then Rocky. Nobody even asks the question if there was a way to loosen the control of the purple guy over the experiments.
Actually I can't remember any other Marvel Movie that spreads violence so arbitrary. I have the feeling the golden era of Marvel has ended.
