It brought meVol.3 was a refreshing addition to the Marvel universe that ends James Gunn's trilogy with a bang. It was relieving watching a Marvel movie that had a complete script, no last minute reshoots, completed CGI and special effects. It brought me back to the good old days where Marvel offered a fun entertaining movie with great action and visuals. I even forgot I was watching a Marvel movie towards the end because this movie felt so different from the more recent Marvel films. I was a little indifferent at the beginning, but the more I watched the more interested I was and invested. Every character had time to breathe and it didn't feel rushed. The villain was amazing and Chukwudi Iwuji did a phenomenal job.

What holds this movie back is there was some new characters that I couldn't stand and I cringed whenever they were on screen. This is just a knit pick of mine, but I felt that there were times where James Gunn would play a 80's track in a scene that didn't need it and it felt out of place. Also, there was some unnecessary tension between death and life (that we see a lot in Marvel movies) that didn't pay off and it was frustrating to see that.

Overall I think this is a great superhero movie that is better than Vol.2 and possibly better than the first. I hope this movie is very successful so Marvel takes notice and tries to better themselves in releasing higher quality movies than the garbage that has been released from them recently.… Expand

This is a complete disappointment that does NOT wrap up the characters, just pays lip service towards doing so. It is by far the weakest of the three, being a mess compared to the first two, which had much tighter stories. The script itself is formulaic and simplistic to the detriment of all character growth. There is pretense to some of that at the end of the movie, but it is growth that already took place in previous movies. With a lot of childish elements and characterizations, a McGuffin chase, and too much focus on "Hey this is a cool concept, let's waste 20 minutes on it".

On a more functional level, Gunn's story telling has completely devolved as he has now cranked the plot armor to completely invulnerability when convenient, but will turn that right back off when the plot needs that to happen as well. There is absolutely no way to gauge what kind of danger anyone is in, so there are zero stakes. He films those scenes at a JJ Abram's break-neck pace hoping you cannot pay enough attention to notice that. The worst part is when Gunn proves to be an unreliable narrator and fakes a death, slowing down time, focusing on the wound playing emotional music. Only for it to all be just fine immediately afterwards. That sums up this movie. I had such high hopes, only to see them frittered away with emotional manipulation and proof that continuity is beyond Gunn. The retconning he does in this will be a high point of discussion in the next few weeks as people begin to realize how much this would have changed at least one character.… Expand

Great, a perfect ending to this franchise. Good story, cgi, vfx, and the villain was very menacing , he will probably be the most hated marval villain.

It's a loving and dignified ending to the trilogy. All the emotional beats hit, the humour does not undercut any of these emotional scenes and generally gets a chuckle. the action was good and the supporting characters were interesting. adamIt's a loving and dignified ending to the trilogy. All the emotional beats hit, the humour does not undercut any of these emotional scenes and generally gets a chuckle. the action was good and the supporting characters were interesting. adam warlock seems an afterthought, though still good/interesting. the rocket origin scenes make an entire good narrative within the main narrative but at times just appear with no connection or complimentary flow to the main narrative. the villain is also pretty well played by Chukwudi iwuji. highly recommend watching it!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went last night to see it, and I liked how they told the story of Rocket and ended the Guardians of the Galaxy story arc, I very much disliked Gamora's role - she always felt out of place.

But the worst part is that we get the same stupid idea of a villain that has infinite time and resources and still gets his plan destroyed by a group of randoms. I mean they keep using these geniuses of villains in a really cringe way. Another bad part is that you could notice that some of environment designs were bad and the same of the acting of extras in the set.… Expand

The love James Gunn has forWe went to the theatre today to say goodbye to the family of misfits, and "to be one with the music" one last time. This movie is a triumph when it comes to giving every single character the ending they deserve. The love James Gunn has for these characters oozes out of the screen. You know what I appreciate the most about this movie. This movie isn't trying to setup the next MCU project, this isn't trying to setup some alternate versions of the Guardians, this isn't trying to setup another version of Kang, most importantly this isn't trying to setup the next Avengers movie. This isn't treated like a stepping stone towards Avengers Kang Dynasty, the treatment that recent MCU projects have suffered from.

This movie doesn't give a **** about what's happening in the rest of the MCU, and I love that. It has one and only one purpose - to say goodbye to the Guardians and explore the tragic backstory of Rocket...

Just like Infinity War was advertised as an Avengers movie, but at its core it was Thanos' story, this movie is very much the Rocket Racoon movie. The entire backstory of Rocket was simply perfect, down to the last minute details. If you are an animal lover like me, there are some scenes that are hard to watch. This movie has some extremely dark and tragic under-tones and some graphic imagery that does push it's PG-13 rating to its limits. The tragedy that surrounds rocket is the heart and soul of this movie. Kudos to the animators what brought this charecter to life.

This movie has plenty of negatives, but I can't speak about any of them, because all of them are major spoilers . What I will say is that the positives vastly outweighed the negatives for me.

This was a really good movie and too be honest, left me tearful a handful amount of times . Goodbyes are always hard, but it's also important to put the pen down at the right time, and this movie is aware of that.
The galaxy will always need it's Guardians, so untill next time....… Expand
