"Guardians of the Galaxy 3: A Galactic Misfire & Disaster. Don't waste your money (June 4, 2023 -- A critical review by actual verified independent viewer, Phoenix Thottam)

In a galaxy far, far away, there was a franchise that captured the"Guardians of the Galaxy 3: A Galactic Misfire & Disaster. Don't waste your money (June 4, 2023 -- A critical review by actual verified independent viewer, Phoenix Thottam)

In a galaxy far, far away, there was a franchise that captured the hearts of audiences with its irreverent humor and eclectic cast of misfits. However, the third installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy series, sadly, fails to live up to its predecessors. Director James Gunn's attempt to recapture the magic falls short, resulting in a lackluster and disappointing cinematic experience. Such an incredible formulaic disappointment. Did an AI write this script? Ridiculous plot and just a string of special effects. Don't believe the hype. Very disappointed in GofG #3. Don't waste your money.

*Plot and Pacing*: Guardians of the Galaxy 3 suffers from a convoluted and disjointed narrative. The plot meanders aimlessly, attempting to juggle numerous subplots and character arcs, but ultimately fails to deliver a cohesive story. The pacing is haphazard, with sudden shifts from intense action to sluggish exposition, leaving viewers confused and unengaged. It's as if the film lost its way amidst a cosmic abyss, desperately grasping for coherence but failing at every turn. *Character Development*: One of the strengths of the previous films was the depth and growth of the Guardians themselves. However, in this installment, the characters feel like mere caricatures of their former selves. They lack the emotional depth and chemistry that made them so endearing in the first place. Their interactions are forced, and the humor often falls flat, betraying the genuine charm that once made this franchise stand out. It's disheartening to witness the Guardians reduced to one-dimensional shells of their former glory. *Villain and Conflict*: The antagonist in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is an unimaginative and forgettable presence. The conflict lacks the stakes and tension that characterized the previous films. The once-dreaded Guardians find themselves facing a tepid and uninspiring foe who fails to evoke any sense of danger or urgency. This lack of a compelling villain leaves the film devoid of the necessary dramatic tension, resulting in a lackluster climax that leaves viewers underwhelmed. *Visual Effects and Cinematography*: While the Guardians of the Galaxy series has always been visually stunning, this third installment disappoints on that front as well. The CGI is inconsistent, ranging from breathtakingly beautiful to distractingly artificial. The action sequences lack the visual finesse and creative choreography that made the previous films so memorable. The cinematography feels lackluster, failing to capture the grandeur and cosmic wonder that this franchise once exuded. *Conclusion*: Wasted money and time seeing this. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a total and complete disappointment on multiple fronts. It squanders the potential of its beloved characters, fails to deliver a cohesive and engaging narrative, and lacks the visual prowess that defined its predecessors. The charm and wit that once made this franchise shine have been replaced by a sense of fatigue and creative bankruptcy. This third installment feels like a mere cash grab, tarnishing the legacy of the Guardians of the Galaxy. It's a cosmic misfire that leaves fans yearning for the glory days of this once-promising franchise.… Expand

Humor is inappropriately delivered most if not all of the time. The overuse and frankly inappropriate use of of 80s/90s music is annoying at best. The motivations and actions of the characters make little to no sense at times. There is something really wrong with this movie, an underlying lust for depravity that is really annoying. How can one enjoy portraying the killing of massive numbers of mutilated animals when they have no agency? Some of these creations are just grotesque and the CGI pushed the limit more than once to display gross and grotesque creations.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wieder eine Enttäuschung....leider!!Ich würde ansich eine 5,0 von 10 geben aber hier sind soviele gefakte 10 Wertungen das man gegensteuern muß. Starlord spielte mehr eine Nebenrolle als Weichei . Der Star war Rocket , das war OK aber die Erzählung über seine " Umwandlung"war viel zu lang gezogen . Der Soundtrack war Schrott vor allem aus Zeiten ausgesucht,wo man die Beste Musik gemacht hat , da waren die anderen Teile deutlicher besser. Drax der Zerstörer permanent als Vollidioten darzustellen war nervig nicht lustig, das Thema war mehr als ausgereizt.Nebula sah aus wie ein Bauarbeiter und brüllte die ganze Zeit rum, passte null zu ihren vorigen Auftritten (Bzw.Charakterentwicklung). Und das größte Manko war mal wieder der völlig unbedeutende "Bösewicht", lächerlich ...ein Witz.
Auf die MCU Filme habe ich mich seit dem ersten Iron Man immer gefreut wie ein Schneekönig, jetzt bekomme ich immer mehr die Hasskappe. Wenn Disney nicht langsam Aufwacht und endlich wieder qualität liefert , wird das MCU genauso Sterben wie Star Wars...... und das wäre echt traurig.… Expand

I loved the original: a pure gem of a film. While the second wasn't nearly as good, it is still rewatchable and that's not easy for a sequel. But this conclusion to the trilogy is bad on every level. How people who liked the previous films can gush over this one is simply beyond me. Lazy plotting. The soundtrack, while loaded with good songs, fails to deliver any emotional payoff. The humour consists of a few chuckles. Too many characters scream at each other. And the film just goes on and on. Gunn should have put the script through several revisions. Perhaps his mind was on the DC universe. It wasn't here.… Expand

You think they listen to the audience. Do you want an only marvel movie that made any sense, was out of that horrible marvel banter humor. It's what you do when you cannot write a script, when it's jumbled, difficult to understand. But the incredible hulk was a standalone decent movie come and the only good marvel movie there was. It's not like laughter is never used, but fictitious movie depicted real life laughter, not this marvel so-called humor. They'll say it made a lot of money, but It didn't. People get tired of the same script written over and over again. And the more oblivious producers are to the audience, for worst the product is.… Expand

I don't know what movie people leaving the high reviews saw but it wasn't Guardians. This installment takes everything that worked in previous Guardian movies and throws it away. Terrible story line, poorly timed bad (and not "good bad") jokes and don't even get me started on Adam Warlock. His character was so lame. Some of the costume choices are beyond bad. The movie as a whole was just bad. I don't want to give anything away but in short it was bad.
Do yourself a favor and wait for this to come out online. At least that way you can turn it off once you have had enough. I had high hopes for this film. I wanted it to be awesome. I was hoping the decline in the MCU would have ended or at least taken a break, but sadly I was let down.
I am done paying movie ticket prices for Marvel films. I will just wait for them to hit streaming until Disney fixes Marvel.… Expand

First Guardians of the Galaxy was really the best of the 3. Second one wasn't so bad but this 3rd Guardians of the Galaxy is so bad, I wanted to leave just 10 minutes into the movie. The dialogues were so terrible, it bordered on lame and "WTF!" The story line was ok but still not enough for me to give this movie a higher rating.
Normally, I would tell people to wait for the movie to be shown on Disney+ or Netflix or wherever if I think the movie is not worth watching in theaters. In this case, I wouldn't recommend watching this movie in theaters or even on Disney+. It's just not worth it! Go watch some other movies.… Expand

I just watched GOG 3 and is a movie with nothing more than bad CGI. The plot, the script is very poor, it feels forced. I mean they wanted to make Rocket the center and the heart of the movie, but one thing is to actually accomplish that through a well writing script and a complete different thing is to use the sentence "you are the center of the story." I believe this type of movies are getting to the point in which the writers do not care about a good and deep dialogs and rather than that they only care of stupid jokes and silly acting. I feel sorry for the DC and WB movies in the hands of Gunn.… Expand

Attempts to be emotional.....CRINGE. Completely relied on bright colors and graphics to impress and captivate, which are ALSO PRODUCED BY A COMPUTER....just saying. No human being gets any credit for a single redeeming thing about this movie. They only get eternal shame for making something THIS BAD...

Disney must have sold their soul to the devil, and part of the bargain is they have to humiliate themselves by producing movies and shows this ludicrously cringe. I mean, the cringe factor is so inescapable. No way they don't know it, or expect people to actually enjoy this movie.

I'm not even joking.

And the innocent animal children, expiermented on and chopped up and grotesquely altered by some demented villian with a God complex, all in the name of "progress"??? I guess, that's BAD. EVIL. SHOCKING!!!!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last Chance for MCU.
For me, this could've been MCU's saving grace. Having the last bunch of movies be utterly terrible, I thought I'd be able to count on this movie to bring it back up. No. It didn't. I really wanted to love this movie, but the sheer stupidity within the movie made that really hard.

I love Rocket, but had very little care for his origin story. Drax is still hilarious, and made me laugh, but the rest of the movie was just too ridiculous.

They introduced Adam Warlock and he was a bumbling idiot. That's not how he's supposed to be. How many idiotic characters are there going to be in the MCU. None of them have that seriousness that balances out the shift of comedy and drama anymore.

They built up something incredibly amazing with the MCU just to burn it down.

There was nearly nothing that entertained me the way I'm used to from MCU movies.

Sure, Rocket's past is sad, but too much time was spent telling that story.

It just felt like they took a bunch of ideas, threw them into a bucket, pulled a few out and made a story out of it.

MCU lost a loyal fan, today. I'm sick of spending my money and time rushing to see these movies and they don't cater to the fans anymore. These movies really dropped so hard from what they used to be. I lost any care for the characters that I had in prior years.… Expand

The whole film consists of moving to point A to point B as slowly as humanly possible. Padding is everywhere! The movie feels long and, without going into spoilers of course. The conclusions of many of these characters feel unearned. I came into this movie expecting characters to die, but instead. I felt GOTG3 would have benefited from doing so! Any character that gets killed off in this movie. No matter how dark the subject matter is. Just comes off as the director giving brownie points, if you know what I mean. Again, without going into spoils, but if you know. You know, and the film feels cheap because of it.

Other issues include the camera. It moves from shot to shot too fast during action sequences. I wanted to admire the fighting scenes, but I couldn't! It was difficult to pay attention to what was going on and because of that. It was very distracting. Maybe it was because of the lighting, or how it was shot, but for the life of me. I can't remember what action scene was my favorite in the movie because by the time it happens. It's already done and forgotten about. It's that terrible.

I could go on about how the piss and **** humor took me out of the film, or how the music placement felt wrong for certain scenes. However, I believe Gamora has been hurt the most by this film. I promise you by the end of it. She will go from your favorite character to your least favorite character in about three hours. Gunn made her so unlikeable that it was impossible for me to ever root for her. For perspective, there is a scene where Gamora is on the toilet. Expecting the audience to laugh. Yeah, no, that's not happening.

I'll just end this by saying Rocket was the best part of this movie...when he's actually in it. One out of every ten jokes seemed to land with me and the characters. Especially Peter and Nebula, really like to yell in every scene, and it's incredibly irritating. The villain does this too and it just drives me nuts. Parents. If you plan to take your kids to this movie, don't. Animal abuse and gross out imagery are ramped in this film. If you want them to see it. Check out the movie first or wait unit it comes to streaming.

A complete and utter disappointment. This was not the way I expected the series to end. Sorry.… Expand
