Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - Movie Review

James Gunn brings us his 3rd (and final) Guardians film before moving over to be DC's top dog. Is it a fitting exit? Here's my review of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3!
#guardiansofthegalaxy

[@nathanalene]

The satisfaction when rocket went beast mode on the high evolutionary in the flashback was phenomenal but still heart breaking

[@bigblueboyscout1]

Considering teefs were pleading for Rocket to stop and Floor was in a panic to hurry up and just leave while they could.

[@timsawyer9231]

Hell yeah... Damn movie got me many times haha

[@umarmahfuz905]

i wish there was a bit of flashback of how rocket and groot met, that duo dynamic definitely deserves more screentime

[@adderz8619]

Just got back from seeing it (probably my fav of the trilogy - I thought it was absolutely fantastic) but if I had one genuine criticism for it beyond the wasted placement of the f-bomb, it’d be that Groot & Rocket didn’t feel so paired up this time round :(

[@rhetiq9989]

I rly thought there would be that in this ngl. Without giving much away, I expected that to be the last one from his several glimpses of flashbacks and we'd finally get to see a cameo from the old Groot from the first movie

[@Yourubeei]

@@adderz8619they 100% felt paired. Every time rocket made a decision, groot followed first (when rocket says he’s tired of running) he also knows him as his dad, they remade the scene where rocket jumps on groots back while shooting, not to mention groot was 100% the mvp in usefulness compared to other movies he’s in (probably because of how desperate groot is to save rocket) rocket and groot were more paired than ever.

[@nibs_777]

Then that would’ve been the other Groot

[@Kalell121]

A story for another time brother 💪

[@eddiek8179]

By the third movie - one of things people are not talking about is how competent they are as a team when they're full on fighting or in action. That showed actual progress. They may bicker when not in combat mode but when they get to it, they're now a level beyond. The villain was not a real problem to them. They seem to always have an advantage which is something different. It's other stuff that keeps them struggling.

[@vandalg282]

To be fair, they were always good as a team...kinda the point in 1. They learn from each other immediately...especially with Rocket and Groot, they all learn to rely on each other...hence the ending of part 1...and even more so in the sequel. The problem here is that Warlock literally one shots them in the beginning, which works as a cheap mcguffin to move the the guardians to somehow "get better" and even then was really just for plot, since they're already top tier teammates.

[@ishmoose1]

I'm kind of surprised Jeremy didn't like this one. I think this was one of the most emotional and character focused pieces in the MCU, with a compelling villain and a real maturity to it. I really loved it, probably one of the best MCU outings in a while

[@Klutch29]

I think High Evolutionary's screaming was fitting mainly due to the fact that one of his primary criteria for a successful batch was lack of aggression. So, when he himself showed aggression by screaming, he subconsciously admits his own imperfection as a specimen, just like in the experiments he rejects or discards. Maybe it was me but he seemed to scream more near the latter half of the movie when he was closer to failure. So, whenever he screamed, he felt himself as one of the failed batches. Maybe its not that deep lol

I respect your opinion Jeremy but I'm feeling the other way about this movie. Thought it was fantastic and should be up in the top with the good marvel movies. I get that everyone was screaming at everyone alot, but to be fair tensions were pretty high just about the entire movie. The villian was great. He has a god/inferiority complex so when he starts losing control of any situation, he starts screaming and lashing out. Everything involving rocket was great. Yeah they could of trimmed down some things but for this to be the send off to the G.O.T.G. I think it's more than fine for them to have a little extra screen time since some of these actors even came out saying they are done playing them

Aside from Wakanda Forever, I think this movie realistically handled the after-effects of the snap.

Would have been nice if rocket were in the movie more. The second film left the team in a pretty good place but we never got to see the fruits of that imo.

[@rachelmartin5187]

@@SojiRo23 You're right. We saw what happened to Gamora after she came back, but we don't know the full context of her anger. Yeah, looking back Adam Warlock could've had more of a purpose. Will Poulter is an underrated actor. I feel like everyone who was "stupid" got a lot of emotional growth. Honestly, the character who took a step back in terms of growth was Star-Lord. That guy had alcoholism and a lot of personal issues. He basically relied on everyone else to clean up after him and side with him against Gamora.

[@Whiteythereaper]

Rocket going back to free all of the animals & "lower lifeforms" was a beautiful moment. Also I kind of like that Adam Warlock was just a straight up idiot to keep him from being a straight up deus ex machnina or from being able to solve the movie immediately, to make sure that the whole official Guardians team got their time to beat down the High-Evolutionary together. The DC universe is definitely in good hands with Gunn co-running it, I hope he gives the Justice League roster as much heart as he's given the Guardians.

[@peshvanpatel843]

I don't know what to feel about Gunn in charge of DC because, while I liked his movies at the MCU, He also fired Henry Cavill as Superman, and also that he is resetting the entire franchise instead of continuing and bringing it to a closure. I really like the previous movies (MOS, BVS, WW, ZSJL) but i guess not many people liked it which is fine. I just hope that he does not make DC's style and tone too similar to Marvel. That's one of the things I admired about the previous movies

[@Afrocypher9590]

Especially considering if they did put Adam Warlock into one of the Avengers movies involving Thanos he definitely would have felt like an even more out of place touch in it considering we already had Captain Marvel filling that void (and we all know how people felt about her at first), involving him with the Guardians in this sort of way doesn't really damage his character at all honestly so he still has time to grow into what we know of him from the comics. And about Gunn, like someone else said thankfully we didn't get a _"DC Style"_ propaganda because that would've dampened the uniqueness of all the films as a whole. Regarding creative differences between him and Henry Cavill (who I am saddened that he will no longer be Superman as it seems now) I'm looking forward to his approach for future DC films.

Surprised by the verdict. This felt like a return to the old MCU form. Thor L&T and Antman Q felt like forced comedy, with the guardians, it just flows. It’s who they are and who they’ve been. I’m sad it’s come to an end because it’s the first Marvel film I’ve really enjoyed since endgame and Spiderman No way Home. It was a satisfying end for all the characters and felt like a real ending for them. I’m excited to see what comes next for the Guardians, maybe not all together but still having that possibility is awesome. Definitely excited to see what they do with Starlord being on Earth again. I hope we get to see Gamora again! I’m sad James Gunn is leaving, but excited to see what he can do with DC.

[@Veloziraptor111]

Guardians movies, despite being genuine comedies, seem to understand very well WHEN it's time for comedy. All three titles do. They possess some of the best comedic moments in the MCU, but each title also had surprisingly poignant emotional moments, definitely some of the best in the MCU as well. And it all works because, unlike movies made by SOME directors (looking at you, Taika Waititi), the Guardians movies don't ruin the important emotional payoff moments by immediately lobbing a joke as if to defuse the tension. They have lots of comedy, but they don't lump it together with the drama. All Marvel movies used to do this once, but Thor: Ragnarok changed the landscape and from that moment on, most of the remaining movies tried to copy that cheap comedic relief that does nothing but ruin serious scenes for a quick chuckle. Guardians movies, however, maintained their formula and that's why they still feel the same kind of good. That's why all three are strong candidates for the best MCU movies.

I can see the criticisms of both as being valid. I did really, really enjoy this movie, but not everything works. That said, it does seem like some reviewer are double-speaking. The things they criticized other MCU movies for are corrected here, but reviewers are now flipping and saying the opposite of what they were saying before. Example: Thor LAT was too short and rushed, but now Guardians is too long. Ant-Man 3 didn’t have emotional stakes, but now Vol3 is too emotional. MCU was missing autuer vision, but Vol3 is the MOST James Gunn of all the movies and it’s still somehow not enough. That’s why the audience score on RT is so much higher than the critic score. Film critics are starting to lose the thread on MCU movies and just arbitrarily add negatives.

[@krninja22]

Best Marvel film in years? Thank God for opinions. This was mid at best.

[@BoogerLeader]

Reviewers watch movies as a job and that tends to shape the way they consume media. So while they're watching they're also looking for things to discuss, and negatives will always stick out more. And if you've ever been alone with negative thoughts you know that tends to make small negatives into much larger ones, that's what's happening with reviewers. It's why fresh movie reviewers tend to be more positive or open and older reviewers tend to be harsher on movies. It's not experience, it's a general numbness that starts to build to good movies because they're always looking to compare the movie to something else, and that ruins your ability to just enjoy what you're seeing. It's why reviewers are usually at odds with the audience, the audience is there to enjoy, reviewers (regardless of what they claim) are there to pick it apart for the purpose of creating content.

I love it when movies like this and Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness push the envelope on what they can get away with for film ratings lower than an R or NC-17, because there are some moments in this that really do border on R but I’m glad younger audiences are given a taste of that.

When it started with Radiohead Creep, I knew we were in for an emotional ride! Beyond all the jokes there’s fragility and mature sensibility that is not overdone. There’s something about the acceptance of the breakup, in plain sight for Peter Quill from the start, but the whole movie felt like your loved one, while carrying for you, announce you a break up in a carrying way, there’s no good goodbyes but the acceptance of the good time spent together, and the need to move on. It’s the end of the guardians as we know it, and the end of James Gunn for Disney as an artist?

@@Delalow862 I'm a huge MCU Thor fan and even I don't think the comparison between Thor's new movie and Volume 3 make any logical sense. Two completely different movies in every sense of the word. I did find the goats hilarious, though, just because they were so ridiculously random.

[@danielstevens8610]

@@Scattman112 Actually James Gunn was the one who started that trend, and all his movies have been like that, so it wouldn’t really be a guardians movie without the comedy and action.

[@GhoulReviews]

Completely with Jeremy on this, saw the movie yesterday and it's a very mid film imo. James gunn can be hit or miss for me and this one just did not work for me.

[@MrGenexxx]

Personally I think he made two great films in his career so far - GOTG vol 1 and vol 2. I have problems with all his other films.

[@GhoulReviews]

@MrGenexxx That is fair enough, I really like super and The Suicide Squad but his style can get on my nerves sometimes. A lot of guardians 3 is people just shouting at each other and it started to get very annoying very fast.

[@Brielle312]

Agree this was also a miss for me

[@brandonbordelon143]

This one review has me questioning everything. To me, this was my favorite MCU movie. Just rewatched it for a 2nd time and man the way he juggles these characters so perfectly is so impressive.

[@jeffdaman6969]

Trust me. Always question everything always. Also, Jeremy loved Suicide squad. That should tell you something.

[@SojiRo23]

It’s your favorite MCU movie? That’s wild.

[@brandonbordelon143]

@@SojiRo23 Yeah. Good bit a humor and emotional story. Soundtrack killed it as always. I still would put infinity war above it now that I have had some time.

[@Cenot4ph]

im wondering how people can view this as entertaining, i generally wonder. I found it disjointed and just boring to tears

[@user-iq1rl4gl1f]

I'm not ready to let them go, but I'm glad we have one last round with Guardians of the Galaxy ❤

[@brileystewart]

I'm with you 100%.I think I went into the movie maybe expecting too much. It wasn't bad in the slightest... I loved getting into Rocket's backstory, I had plenty of laughs through out, it was visually entertaining, decent plot etc... But the dialog often left me sighing a bit, and like a lot of others are saying it was pretty messy. I just wasn't that stoked about it by the time the credits rolled. I'd call it a 6.5/10 here. Not bad, not great.

[@OppositeofHATE7]

My feelings exactly, by the end I was just over it and didn't feel anything

[@ArmyWolves]

Guardians of the Galaxy is one of my favorite movie franchises of the last decade.

[@windowers]

Just got back from watching this. Perfect timing. Although it's a bit disappointing to see that most reviewers didn't seem to like it as much I did.

[@Voltroc]

Welcome to 2023.

[@Jake_Deagan]

Eh, the majority of reviewers online are actually super positive about it which is great to see. It’s mainly only Jeremy, Chris Stuckmann and a few Rotten Tomatoes critics that are iffy with it

[@Dikbeeg]

Bro this guy is a joke .majority reviewers loved it .this dude liked antman 3

[@barry2349]

All the reviews loved this tho

[@Alucard2091]

@@barry2349 Excepting 4.5 or 4/5 from them but yeah nonetheless it has enjoyable verdict

[@Maltackdark]

Literally one of the best MCU films they’ve released in a long long time. Everything to me felt well paced. The emotion was there as well as character chemistry. Ultimately a good send off for the trilogy.

[@blackfootjesse5236]

It was fantastic, honesty I only watch Spider-Man and Guardians so I’m not burnt out on Marvel movies but this was Awesometacular

[@Zagreus420]

just got back from theater, this movie is definitely top marvel movie
