Critics have already shared their first reactions and thoughts on the film, which is its director, James Gunn, joking “absolutely ridiculous”.

“Guardians of the Galaxy: Happy Holidays Special” brings us the fun Christmas mission of the Guardians, who will head to Earth in search of the perfect gift for Peter Quill (Chris Pratt).

The cast is completed by Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn and Michael Rooker. As for the script and direction, the responsible was James Gunn, the main responsible for the saga.
A hilarious comedy duo
Critics, who have already had access to the special and everyone seems to agree that it is very entertaining and entertaining, according to initial reactions. What’s more, most also agree that the characters of Drax and Mantis make a hilarious duo which, without a doubt, is the epicenter of the special.
As for special presentations, I really like Marvel’s format. I prefer it to series.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Werewolf by Night are so, so different, which is great. Guardians feels like a silly mini-movie check-in with high-octane characters.

“As far as special presentations go, I really like the Marvel format. I prefer it over the series. Guardians of the Galaxy: Happy Holidays Special and The Curse of the Werewolf are very, very different, which is great. Guardians is like a mini stupid movie with first-rate characters.”
“The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” is very funny and made me smile a lot. Unlike everything Marvel is not pushing the next MCU movie or show. That’s exactly what the title is selling a holiday special. If you are a fan of Drax and Mantis you will love this. pic.twitter.com/f05ddmE1mP

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is really fun. Here for all that celebrating The Legendary Kevin Bacon, but this is the Dave Bautista and Pom Klementieff aka Drax and Mantis Go to Hollywood show, and they’re a total riot. Especially while you’re drunk.
