Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

It’s not just a film, it’s a blaze of glory, and that sense of daring is both the best thing about Vol. 3 and, occasionally, the worst.

Classic rock needle drops and showy, snaking, single-shot action sequences – both GOTG trademarks – abound in a picture that balances a slightly overstuffed storyline with mischief, humour and the biggest of hearts.

The Guardians of the Galaxy deliver their swan song in Vol. 3 and it’s a rockin’ good time. Through Rocket’s tragic origin story we’re given a new appreciation for this whole family of lovable malcontents. And even though the plot has a bit too much going on, some of the humor feels stale, and Adam Warlock was woefully underused, the cast’s incredible chemistry and James Gunn’s soulful style remain unlike anything else in the MCU, and this movie sends them out on an emotional and action-packed high note.

For all its backsliding into bleak—what’s with torturing Bradley Cooper’s talking raccoon—this spirited summer kickoff delivers the requisite thrill ride and ends the GOTG trilogy with the sweet sorrow of saying goodbye to Star Lord and his wacky space dorks. It’s been a trip.

This one may be the most unruly and excessive of the trilogy, but it is as sweetly touching as any film with so many slimy, tentacled monsters in it could be.

The film undermines its initial sense of intimacy and momentum with a stop-and-start story structure that by and large exists to make as much room as possible for its characters’ banter.

The full-on assault on the audience’s tear ducts in much of “Guardians 3″ may be sincere, but the rhythms and pacing of the film never find the beat. We end up waiting for the reductive punchline, or for another round of wanton slaughter.

One of my favourite films ever. So funny, so heartfelt, so incredible, James Gunn really cooked with this. It was easily the best way the truly perfect Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy could end off. It's kinda crazy that this film somehow feels nostalgic to me even though it only. came out two years ago.

Without Rocket’s origin story this would be extremely shallow. His entire arc brings a sense of scope to the madness, the others (Drax) being nothing to the table

This is the worst film in the series so far. It's really annoying that Marvel mixing characters and timeline from other movies which ruins the storylines of the individual movie. When I want to watch Spider-Man, I want to see Spider-Man only, not Iron Man. Otherwise I would watch Iron Man. The same goes for Guardians of the Galaxy. It makes no sense for this film to suddenly be influenced by events from different movies. It seems like Marvel expects everyone to watch all of their films just to fully understand what's going on. Thy not simply continued the story right after the second one. Nobody would have had a problem with that. And that all, just because of the conflict between Disney and Gunn. I used to really enjoy this series, but the third part just didn't work for me. I do hope at least a new game comes out, because the last one was much better than this movie.

Huge fan of the first film, the second one was so-so, and I think this is the worst of the bunch. The plot felt jarring, only a few bits of comedic lines work (largely with Drax), the characters felt like they took a step backward, and it tries too hard to be emotional without being emotional. And for the first time, the soundtrack did not feel like a proper part of the film. It felt tacked on and meaningless. All in all, I am glad I waited until it was streaming to see this.
