Finally saw this; the animal experimentation was hard to watch yet necessary for the story to understand the big bad evil villain and the anger Rocket has. Not like we haven't done bad things to animals and each other in the name of 'progress'.
Even with the dark tone of the movie, it was good to throw a few laughs in with Drax. Otherwise, this is just pretty dark. They gave Mantis a bit of an arc; her character never really got a lot of treatment. Not quite as good as the first however much better than the second. And yes, it was good to have a standalone movie that didn't require watching the Disney TV series.
Adam was pretty much a wasted opportunity to explore the Sovereign in more detail.
