The Official "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" Thread

Great trilogy.

I'd say Cap has the best trilogy (Avengers movies notwithstanding). But this is number two.

I'll give it a 4/5. I'm gonna watch all the easter egg vids then watch this again.

James Gunn does a good job of balancing all the rotating parts. The action scenes and soundtrack are great and the comedy doesn’t wear out it’s welcome like other MCU movies.

Rockets backstory

Superman is in good hands with Gunn.

I liked it 8/10. Good send off and major improvement over GotG Vol. 2 which was only saved by Yondu's death memorial. High Evolutionary was dope and the back story for Rocket was well done. First GotG was better but this was almost as good.
But I gotta say and I realized this recently and I'm in the minority but I'm just not into animals/pets. A lot of the heart strings they were trying to pull just don't resonate with me. And I will say I like Cap's trilogy better and think BP 2 is better (I really like that movie, I know I'm in the minority on that as well.)
Best thing about this is the conclusions for characters being as far from cliche/expected as possible. I like when movies are able to subvert expectations but do it in a believable way. Very dope ending to the movie/trilogy.

Agreed @ Cap trilogy and BP2.

I shed a tear when his homies got it

Lol Dr Strange 2, Wakanda forever >>>this movie.

“Illumiwhati” over this?

 

[Sohh_lifted]

“Illumiwhati” over this?

This shyt was boring. Corny ass quirky jokes, Slow-mo action sequences with rock music playing, "Oh cool, he listens to a zune!! ", Animal cruelty porn for emotional heart tugging. .

Peter really think shyt sweet on earth, like they forgot what he did

Spoiler: Spizoiler

So Adam warlock can get a second chance but not the high evolutionary

Spoiler: High Evolutionary

He got a "Reverse Gus Fring"; First he lost his face, then he blew up.

Whether you're in Cobb, Douglas, Gwinett, Clayton, Dekalb, Newton, Rockdale, or Henry...every subdivision looks exactly the same. Them aliens was chilling in Conyers

Yeah.. I live in a town right outside of Houston called Pearland and I was like, "This shyt looks like Shadow Creek "

james gunn at dc is a legit threat to marvel for 1st time since nolan left

just had some coffee, get ready for an essay

Spoiler

-
- every recent marvel director I can think of (Coogler, Rainmi, Russo bros, etc) have had hits and misses. Taika Waititi in particular followed up Ragnarok with one of the shyttiest movies ever

- I liked parts of the recent spiderman, black panther, dr strange, even shang chi movies, but they all had flaws. it was impossible for coogler in particular to make that plot work.

- Gunn is all hits, no misses. I dont think hes put out a movie I didnt enjoy. Good & creative writing. Fast and streamlined plot. Solid music. Juust the right amount of humor, none of it corny.. I was genuinely laughing throughout


- Movie starts, boom, immediate stakes. Rocket is dying? lets go save him. The urgency is there and and its refreshing vs the long winding forced plots of other movies. again this stuff is all simple in theory but so many marvel movies lately feel awkward and forced. I get that Feige is trying to move Phase X Series character arc A-1 along, but I dont care

- every character got room to breathe. Nebula (love her), Dax, Mantis, Starlord, Gamora. this was a mster class in taking a big cast of characters and tying up their stories with a bow at the end

- ive really never thought much of chris pratt acting skills (outside of comedy) but him at the end losing it over rockets corpse was unreal. also lovd him getting one over on the receptionist chick and immediately disabling all the security guards

- fight scene choreography was outstanding. The last battle opening scene where they all walked into the loading bay as a group and started whoopin ass was A+. High evolutionary guy getting jumped by the group at the end was sick

- finally a movie without completely shytty CGI. lets have more of that

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Yeah, James Gunn is gonna have marvel fast tracking x-men by the Russo’s

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

also, this felt like the first GoTG movie where all the characters could fully show off what they could do combat wise.
