Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - Every Marvel Movie Ranked & Recapped

[@MrUberSwagg]

I dont know if i have ever disagreed with their takes more than with this movie. I loved this movie and its easily top 10 MCU for me

[@dv2244]

Greg does love DC shit more... but also loves Marvel too. I also think it's safe to say A LOT of people are "kinda over marvel", as the movies and shows haven't been working for people as of late.

[@dv2244]

@Neil I loved the movie but DC has some good stuff too. So You can't really say that as if it's a fact.

[@HyrumReed]

i totally agree. I think Guardians 3 is tied or even better than 1. Guardians 2 is way way below that. i'm in the minority that Vol2 didn't hit for me like Vol1 did. Volume 3 is EXCELLENT!!! Made my MCU top 10!

[@CruzaderKnight]

Agreed. I’m usually aligned with Tim, but with the MCU, their unianimous love for GotG2 is the most drastic difference from my personal list. It’s not wrong, people are allowed to like different things. But it’s just fascinating how ALL the Kinda Funny guys seem to be so high on GotG2

[@iCb0x]

@@dv2244 and I thought Greg was going to be all over this movie because of the happenings with his doggies. My dog has made me such an animal lover, movie destroyed me.

[@ThePonderer]

Wow, the “this doesn’t feel like a definitive end of trilogy” take is *bonkers* to me. This is the most like a Real Ending any of these concluding movies has ever felt.

[@PatOfTheRick]

Yeah I mean the team that we all know is done. So it’s the end of this tale for the characters. I just don’t see how it would be better if some of them died or something. But death is the only stakes that people care about.

[@langleymneely]

Classic Nick take, I’ve strangely gotten used to it after all this time. Lol

[@lexis4490]

It feels like people want characters to die, even if it doesn't make sense.

[@langleymneely]

@@lexis4490 It’s been a very weird obsession in the MCU for ages now. I still remember people being 100% certain Captain America was dying in Age of Ultron so Bucky would be Cap all based on nothing pertinent to the actual films. I’ve never understood the preoccupation with death as the end all be all narrative thing.

Best comment on here.

[@papajcina]

Can't wait for that to happen with Eternals too.

[@robk7815]

​@@papajcinaah, that's bait. Eternals was garbage.

[@koushikraja331]

Looks like the entire comment section is disagreeing with you all. Man, this was the most emotional one of them all-in terms of action, creativity, emotion, setting up things for the future without much emphasis on them, no focus on stupid cameos and a ton of heart. The final scene of them all vibing to dog days put a smile to my face.

[@Caveboy0]

I like how Nick invents a whole backstory to the production out of thin air to rationalize his take

[@LightShooters]

Yeah he says he feels the production of the movie is rushed but James gunn has been sitting on this script for a long time while he was fired and working on DC

[@Eric-nx6cp]

I have learned a long time ago to tune out Nick on these reviews. I love the guy but dude says things just to say it.

[@BoomSlang001]

Yeah, I figured everyone knew about the shifting around of movies and shows during COVID. I do get why he felt like there were some "TV" shots since I believe they filmed the Holiday Special and those movie scenes at the same time. Personally, I felt like the Special looked more filmic than the other way around.

[@Phillipguy034]

​@Eric-nx6cp 100%.

[@Phillipguy034]

​@@LightShootersjust because the script was done a long time ago doesn't mean it was reworked as much as Vol 1 and 2. Those felt crisp and intention every minute. Sadly, I do agree it did feel like he finished the script and maybe went over it once or twice the past couple years while it sat on the shelf.

[@Zondo321]

As everyone else is saying, im legit wondering if they saw a different movie from me. I was BALLING in every flash back scene, realizing this is what hurt rocket so much. Warlock and the bad dog subplots feel like they got torn up by rewrites due to they delay for sure. But Adam does still fit into the theme of self descovery vs what your ment to be. Rocket was ment to be a discarded experiment, but rose above. The animal people were forced to be humans instead of being what ever they decided. Quill trying to force gamora to be who she was and not accepting who she is now. Drax thinking hes point is to fight and not to protect. Mantis says her arc very clearly. Adam was made to just be a tool to kill the guardians and capture rocket. He didnt know anything outside of that or what his mom told him todo. Him getting saved led him know hes allowed to make choices for himself. I do see a con as they "wrapped everything up by not wrapping anything up" But thats a small gripe knowing theres more to come

[@lexis4490]

I actually think the end is a pro as well. They have their own stories and lives to live out now. We may see it, we may not. But we can see them have a life. Great points.

[@NF_Redux]

i think Adam could be a very compelling character if he gets his own film with what happened to him in this one. born too early, treated as a killing machine, even though he's still essentially a child, manipulated by his mother and the High Evolutionary, and saw his mother killed by the High Evolutionary because the Guardians he is now a part of inadvertently pushed the High Evolutionary to destroy the planet and his mother. a great writer could make an amazing film out of all that, and Gunn set all that up for whoever takes on the next iteration of Guardians in the future.

[@piusdoe8984]

Saying hard BAWLING is way too much 😂 but every other point is well said. Maybe they all watched it after many beers 😂

[@iCb0x]

FOR THIS GUARDIANS Team, it absolutely felt like a finale. Cant believe Nick & Greg thought it was rushed. Best of the trilogy easy.

[@Mexican4life14]

I think that's the important thing to remember. It's the end for this specific guardians team. The guardians aren't done, just this specific group of guardians.

[@marctouchdown1619]

Greg loved BVS so…

[@iCb0x]

You can build up a story in one movie. Not everything needs to be hinted at over multiple movies, we used to just have single movies for things and this wasn’t a problem.

[@lexis4490]

the way Greg perks up when he finds out High Evolutionary is Gia's friend's husband after sleeping through his half-assed plot recap lmao. You guys are filming these way too early because the energy is dead Tim was the only one up for this. 3 years from now they'll probably rewatch this for some Disney+ series and talk about how wrong they were because this is one of the best MCU films ever made. Thank you James Gunn.

I appreciate how the series was technically bookended with Peter and his grandfather.

[@TheFrogKnight]

God damn. I loved this movie and it seems like I am In the minority who thinks this is the best in the trilogy.

[@AlexLove631]

Nah I’m with you on that. I do think there’s a weird small part of the fandom that cannot fathom or handle the maturity. I had people in my theater saying it should’ve been Rated R, which had me shocked. Movie was the definition of a banger from start to finish.

[@crfstaley]

I think its tied with the first one for me, but yeah I feel way more positive about this than they seem to be. Idk I thought it was fantastic especially the third act felt earned and a great send off imo

[@Braedon1441]

It may not be as comedic as 1&2 but the deeper story and more emotional beats + the corridor sequence make this my favorite of the trilogy

[@PatOfTheRick]

@@Braedon1441 people didn’t like 2 as much at the time as well as because it was dealing with more emotional themes it took longer for people to respect it.

Wow. really hot take on the movie, guys. Have never disagreed with their comments more. I honestly loved every moment of the movie. Also, I wished nick did the plot

[@bentleymahakij1]

Wow, I've never disagreed with these guys more. I get everyone has their own opinions so no worries. Felt like this movie was so emotionally complex and a great way to end the trilogy. I can't stop thinking about it.

[@lexis4490]

I think it's insane you don't think this is the end.If you all decide to do different things, that would be the end of Kinda Funny. Get it?

[@auburnmann3630]

I appreciate the catharsis minus the fatality approach they took to close out this amazing trilogy. Especially considering how dark much of phase 4 was. This version of the guardians as collective entity died, without any more of the individuals perishing.

[@anom6707]

Lol this reminds me of when Colin left. Maybe this movie hits too close home for them that’s why they don’t like it.

[@AstroFan428]

I didn't agree with their love for Volume 2 and don't agree with their less enthusiastic review of Vol 3. lol I didn't like how mean spirited Vol 2 was, so love how much of a family they were in this movie. This is the first movie to make me full on cry since Spiderverse(Dad or grandpa stuff in this case gets me).

[@alexlyster3459]

I think the whole point of Vol 2 though is that getting along with family isn't easy. Especially for people who have been through so much trauma. Yet when push comes to shove they do love each other and pull together.

[@Crazeyd0g]

In Reviews with Greg doing the plot 3/5. In Reviews with Nick doing the plot 5/5...

[@ElWatcherPR]

Yeap.

[@deeganpuchkors9984]

I 1000% agree! I just finished writing a comment where I mentioned how frustrating it was to watch this because Greg just plowed through the plot and almost seemed annoyed he had to be on the show. I wanted to see the guys dive deep on so many parts of this movie, but they didn’t get to very much because Greg was half assing it so bad and seemed like he just wanted to get out of there. Whereas Nick is always so thorough and makes sure the other guys can dive in deeper to certain scenes

[@bennetthasty7886]

I love Greg, I just think he does better with 2 cokes in his hand and shitty movies.

[@Ryan-tm7ug]

Greg is only good at in review if he’s in love with the series , like ghostbusters and shit , I’m not even gonna watch this , went straight to the comments to see how everyone was feelin , I loved the movie so I’ll catch y’all next time , back to rewatching Harry Potter in review

[@AlexLove631]

This is what every superhero film, hell every blockbuster, should strive for. Gunn delivered an all-timer trilogy. The writing is crisp, the humor organic and actually funny, the music is expertly crafted, and the action in this film is sensational and shows how much Gunn has grown from film to film (Daredevil finally has competition with that one-shot). Rocket’s story had me in tears, even if I could tell what was going to happen at times. It was handled with so much care and maturity that it just made me annoyed with other films in this franchise not giving as much of a fuck as James clearly does. The cast was insane top to bottom. Everyone had a moment to shine and delivered. The Guardians feel more connected and unified than the fucking Avengers.

[@CruzaderKnight]

Man, the Kinda Funny crew has to be the highest on GOTG2 than any other reviewers on the internet. Sure, I do like GotG2, but these guys fucking LOVE it lol.

[@HyrumReed]

I agree. Nick said how much he loved the Joke, joke, joke, joke of GotG2, but that is what turned me off about it. too much. GotG2 was dialed up to 100 on jokes, that emotional parts didnt hit as hard. (3 is a great balance of joke and emotion)

[@robk7815]

And GOTG 2 is the worst of the trilogy. A great movie unquestionably, but not as good as 1 or 3

[@NF_Redux]

about the Zune: Peter was so protective of the Walkman because it was the last thing his mother gave him. And so Peter being desperate to get the Zune back makes perfect sense because it was the last thing his adoptive father Yondu gave him, albiet via Kraglin passing it on to him. Peter uses music to connect to the people he loves, and to remember the people he's lost. it's the reason music plays such a big part in the Guardians story - music connects us.

[@daltontungate4802]

Ya for me this movie was exactly what the MCU needed. I was full stream of tears the moment Groot said “I love you guys” also dog days are over by Florence and the machine was an incredible way to end the series.

[@NF_Redux]

i love that we as the audience finally get to understand what Groot's saying at the same time Gamora does.

[@vinnybastos]

Honestly, I went to see it last Thursday and I'm still reeling from it. What an absolute feel good masterpiece and spectacular closure for the best MCU trilogy (and it's not even close). The dark flashback scenes left me with a knot in my stomach throughout and there wasn't a dry eye in the theater during Rocket's reunion with Lylla. In the end I was just happy that those amazing characters had each other and I got to witness their incredible journey. The Fantastic Four might be the First Family in the comics, but the Guardians are the First Family in the movies.

[@grrave3333]

While they’re entitled to their opinions… I just can’t believe how much some of them didn’t appreciate this one. My personal favorite of the Guardians and arguably one of the best of this phase of the MCU. It reinvigorated my faith in the universe and where it can go next. Absolutely the most emotional and I left the theater feeling like I had the closure I’d want with these guys but also feel like, if they have a good story to tell, I’m glad they left the door open to have more adventures together.

[@SuperNathan125]

You guys are nuts! Definitely agree with Tim I loved this this movie! Greg I love you but if you ain’t vibing with a movie maybe you let one of the other guys do the recap. Just a thought man. The energy for this was off and I’ve been looking forward to this in review! It’s even tougher when Nick has been killing it the past 2 weeks with the Guardians rewatch. Still love you guys thanks for the great podcasts!

[@kylehartley4724]

First time I really have to question what movie you all saw! At least Tim and Andy gave it SOME respect. Going to forever make me doubt Greg and Nick reviews lol. This movie was an emotional ride that Marvel has been missing. Warlock was referred to as a child and hatched prematurely multiple times throughout. His character will have nothing but growth in the coming years to the character you expected him to be. It did lack humor and replaced it with heart and feelings, which the MCU needs more of since Endgame! Totally agree with Tim this only ages better and better.

[@TheLaw87]

Nicky poo is getting very close to Fast 5 levels of criticism for this movie. Very Nick Picky.

[@Freedman7567]

[@JG-pp8cc]

Love & Thunder is so high. Geez.

[@Reeceisyourfriend]

One of my few gripes with the movie is Peter doesn’t have his iconic boots and mask that he’s had in every other appearance. That could’ve help him many times

[@WarMachinne]

I don’t really watch In Review much… why does Greg’s plot reading sound like he hates every second of this movie? Is this another stupid Greg character he does bc it’s Marvel and not DC? Seriously how do you gloss over Rocket’s first word being “hurts” and not talk about feeling a dagger in your heart? I came to this vid specifically bc I thought KF being the compassionate, big-hearted community they are, would feel all the same things I did during this film. But I found only Tim seemed to feel that, and everyone else “felt nothing in that moment” or made jokes about dead tortured animals, fictional as they may be. You’re telling me the guy who cried because Atreus got a hug has no compassion for tortured creatures in captivity forming a loving family together and then being ripped apart?

[@ElWatcherPR]

Hey guys! I don’t comment on the content that much. But It was tough listening to Greg doing the plot like he didn’t want to be there. Love you Greg. You’re great! But the energy just wasn’t there.

[@alyssagillespie]

We definitely don’t always agree, but this genuinely shocked me. I loved both the previous Guardians movies but I wouldn’t say they were my favorites. It’s too early for me to legitimately rank this one, but coming out of the theater it felt like one of my top MCU projects. A beautiful ending to this story.

[@Artifact515]

Spoilers: I feel like there opinons are no longer there own and are media driven and social driven. I enjoyed this movie fully, the trilogy is close to perfect, its something that James Gunn really knew how to add his way of creating you to hold your emotions until you break, all the possibilties of different guardians dying, Draxx and his fatherhood, Quil understanding his life is completely different now, Rocket accepting his new life, The Guardians will be back just in alot of time. I cried, I laughed and It was the first movie since Endgame that felt so involved in a marvel movie.

[@deeganpuchkors9984]

I absolutely ADORED this film. And honestly at this point I don’t think I can rank any of this trilogy above each other. I rewatched Vol. 1 & 2 before seeing 3 and it just reinforced that they are all incredible. I’m one of the few in this comments section that if I HAD to choose I would have Vol. 2 as my favorite, but like I said this is the rare trilogy for me where on any given day I could rank them differently because I love each one so much. With that said, am I the only one who got really frustrated by how Greg absolutely plowed through the plot and seemed almost annoyed that he had to do it?? I’m glad the guys cut in every once and a while to expand on certain parts, but I just kept getting frustrated that Greg skipped even mentioning so many scenes that were integral to the movie or that I would have loved to hear the guys talk about. It’s a bummer cause I was waiting for their In Review all weekend because I was so excited after seeing the film twice this weekend, but I feel really let down by how little they really dove into a lot of the scenes because of Greg seeming so checked out and bored 😕

[@hugosinclair1273]

regarding Nick's "we've got this Christmas set from the Christmas special" comment, surely they just understandably reused sets from this movie for the Christmas special rather than vice versa, lol

[@crosvale]

It wasn't really Rocket's friends dying that got me. It was him screaming and crying while looking down at Lyla that had me tearing up. Watching the process of someone losing the only thing they know and love is rough. I think my least favorite part of the movie was when Mantis wipes Drax's memory of her calling him stupid.

[@LightningLynx89]

Biggest L take from Kinda Funny since the Rami films. Also "needing character deaths to have stakes" is the most brain dead take I've ever heard. You don't need constant death to have stakes. The deaths need to mean something.

[@Phillipguy034]

Having love and thunder + shehulk above Iron man is a everything you need to know about that dumb list.

[@NF_Redux]

having seen vol. 3 twice now i think it might be my favourite of the trilogy. it's equal parts dark, funny, horrifying, heartbreaking & heartwarming. each character has their moment, the villain was truly terrifying for once, it set up Rocket's new team with Phyla & Adam on board, and each character's arc is wrapped-up in the most Guardians-ass way while leaving the door open for possible new stories in the future. Gunn stuck the landing.

I have come to realize that I will never agree with these guys takes. I love watching their content and I'll not stop, but good lord. I never agree with their rankings. To have the most mid of mid movies guardians 2 as high as they do has always sat wrong with me, but then to basically dunk on this movie mostly is insanity. This movie was fantastic in every way. And it has become clear that it seems like Nick just makes up whatever he wants to feel as a detractor, because there's no way this looked like a movie filmed on a TV set. It didn't have the prior complaints legitimacy of something looking bad. As far as CD is concerned. Nothing in this movie felt rushed. The CG did not look bad in any way. The sets did not look bad in any way. It hit the right emotional beats. It felt far more like the first guardians in the second one ever did. Genuinely couldn't tell you a single plot point other than daddy is a planet and daddy wants to rule the universe from the second movie. I've wanted a couple times in every single time. It basically goes right out of my head. As soon as I'm done with it. It's not as bad as Thor 2 or iron Man 2 or 3 book guardians 2 is definitely bottom third of the MCU.

This movie had me BEGGING for No One to die I cared about EVERYTHING going on in this film The Villain, The Action, The Jokes THAT HALLWAY SCENE! What they did with nebula was simply AMAZING! 👏🏽This is THE MOST FOCUSED MCU MOVIE SINCE GUARDIANS Vol. 1 I Know Movies Are Subjective But man I’ve never disagreed with a take more than this one guys and I Love You all 🙏🏽

[@lennystyle]

Anyone else think that this wasn't the real High Evolutionary? I think it was halfway the movie, but one of the cronies (the female one I believe) noted something about the High Evolutionary not having finished "his treatment" after he was behaving erratic and the way she and the other crony looked at him makes me feel like they were watching an experiment. Also def a top 10 Marvel movie imo.

[@infinitybelt]

I'm really glad the comment section verified what I was thinking, these guys takes are bad. I think Tim is like the only one that actually gets it. I re-watched both Guardians movies in the week leading up to the this one and I really don't see how you can think Vol 2 is better. Vol 2 does not feel nearly as focused as this movie and while none of the Guardians movies are bad, it's easily the weakest one. I also take issue with them saying it felt rushed, or not a proper end? Where does that come from? Because someone didn't die? The other movies always had death and loss, I think it was a nice surprise everyone lived. We were all ready for someone to die, so when nobody does its a pleasant surprise. The sadness and definitive end comes from the passing of the baton to Rocket. This trilogy felt like we saw the origins of the Guardians of the Galaxy as a team which continues on even after some of our key characters leave it. Felt just like a comic book, the Guardians are still out there doing their thing albeit with new members. P. S. Greg, you gotta get more into these plot summaries. You have really been slacking lately, you seem like you just don't care.

You really need to redo the rankings with a different voting system - if you use an individual score for each film and tally it up, it will come out much more accurate than everyone having to give a ranking so it goes above a particular film, even though that means it might be above one that they think is better, just because of the way the list has been put together.

I’m not the biggest fan of the first two Guardians movies but man this third movie was one hell of a time. This one is the best of the trilogy!

[@justinsuttles8194]

Haven’t watched the in review yet but this movie was great. So many times, I was like “oh…that character is going to die”, “no, that one”. James actually subverted our expectations by NOT killing a main character. I really enjoyed some of jokes and moments in GOTG2 more (I will never NOT ball my eyes during Yondu’s funeral) but, overall, GOTG3 was amazing, number 1 and a beautiful close to this chapter.

This movie is so special and no one will convince me otherwise

[@jareddessert9162]

All weekend I was constantly refreshing KZbin to find out what my friends thought of Guardians. Thanks jabronis

[@surlyedi]

The very end stinger saying "The Legendary Star Lord will return" made me think of Kitty Pryde since X-Men characters are supposed to be introduced sometime down the line.

[@JBM1428]

Another fun fact, the entire MCU Spider-Man trilogy came out in between Guardians 2 and 3. Really puts it into perspective how large the gap between those 2 movies was

[@babybulllets]

I loved this movie but where were Peter’s mask and rocket boots?

[@youngtexas210]

Gunn said on Twitter the mask was broken in vol 2 and was supposed to stay that way. But Disney brought it back in IW. He also said the boots were replaced by the superior jet packs Rocket made lol

[@babybulllets]

@@youngtexas210 Ohhhh okay at least it was addressed somewhere cause I was like his gear would’ve helped out a lot in this movie lol.

Music has been an overt motif and outright theme of guardians franchise. If not music .. dance. I appreciate the througline of music getting its culminating spotlight in the trilogy cap. Even the villain acknowledged the importance of musical arts to his "utopian" world. In the flashback he deconstructed the concept of music as a collection of sounds to form harmonious melodies. Not to mention Drax (and even Nebula finally dancing) in the closing scenes.

[@andrewbeecroft6509]

Got about 11 minutes in and realised they didnt like this film anywhere near as mich as i did. I'd put it above 2, personally. Will need to rewatch to say for certain. Rocket's backstory was incredibly dark, and they wiped out an entire planet at one point. So to say it felt lighter than expected is odd. The ending was bitter sweet, the crew all grew as people which meant they had to go their seperate ways. A very definitive ending for this incarnation of the team. Making Rocket the new leader was an earned moment after his personal arc.

[@Zozeet]

It took me a month to get around watching this movie just to be able to listen to you guys review it. I loved the movie and even before watching you guys I'm concerned about how the comments are reflecting on your takes, but I respect the discourse!

[@TheNAKEDduck]

Really wish Greg would be more energetic in his recaps, instead of just this happen then this then yada yada. I wanna hear what you guys think about these moments, not just recap.

[@8bitdee]

I don’t watch In Review for their reviews, I watch them just for the entertainment favor and laughs, because they usually have the weirdest and most bonkers take on films and filmmaking and this episode is exactly why.

[@noahperez5074]

This movie is a 10/10 and definitely felt like the end of the Guardians. I cried like 10 times throughout this whole movie.

[@darthpoopsie4988]

the quantimana hate is so strange. its very fine. more fun than most of phase 1

[@ThePalmer81]

I swear these used to come out on weekends.

[@gchild1286]

Nick, you’re my man, but are you sure you didn’t just hate this movie? You mostly just criticized. Usually, I agree with Nick and disagree with Andy, but… I agree (with Andy) these needle drops were weak, but I’m a 44 year old black guy that was a teen in the Midwest during the 90’s. Probably didn’t grow up with the exact same influences as you guys. And… I disagree (with Nick) that the High Evolutionary went down too easy. All the Guardians whooped his ass. Rocket caught him off guard and then they all kept him off balanced until the killing blow. It was awesome!

[@karlmoore1837]

I think this is the best of the trilogy. The one thing that brought the film down was the frequency of the Adam Warlock jokes, that could of been tighter. I think this film will be one of the MCU films that is looked back on more positively as time goes on.

[@CoNiCuZn]

My biggest problem with the movie is it’s way too “James Gunn” the amount of times the characters themselves pressed play on a song that would then play out for the movie was ridiculous and cheesy as all hell. There was a way better balance for the music in the other two movies.

[@piusdoe8984]

Safe movie? That's how we describe this movie? Wat is death the only way to not be "safe" reminds me of ppl like seth rogan thinking only edgy death and sex makes something mature😂 kinda funny usually has bad takes but this entire videos takes still surprised me. Dont be rash 😮 🤚

[@rextitan]

Thank god for Tim.

[@Nerd-Gaiden]

This ranking is a trainwreck but I can’t look away

[@lexis4490]

I have liked the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. But I love this movie. It was such a nice balance of character development for everyone. I am so glad no one died. That's so easy to do. Everyone had their own story. My only problem was the music. They didn't need to show playing songs. Just play the songs.
