I haven't loved everything he's done, but GOTG is for sure my fave MCU film.Yup. And he's just a terrific storyteller. Been a fan since Slither.
Him doing Superman is just icing on the cake.
It's everything I want from a Superhero movie really. It got me immediately emotionally invested, was thoroughly entertaining via interesting character dynamics, variety of visual environments, comedy, soundtrack etc, explored relatable themes of identity, grief, found family, overcoming past trauma etc, and had a decent high stakes threat for the group to come together to face. And it was allowed to be both fun and heart warming, often in this wonderfully, unapologetically cheesy way (See: 'WE are Groot'

I know there's still lots of ways we could be unpleasantly surprised, but I feel fairly certain that if most of that translates to this movie... I'll be happy.
