Having been a fan of the original comic books, and a purveyor of about ten thousand movies plus, during my life time, i wish someone would take away Disney's ability to make movies. They have become worse than the old Hollywood retreads. This 3rd installment is way behind in tickets sold as well.
Honestly, there were so many holes. The characters were cool, like the telekinetic space dog. I get that the Guardians are supposed to be a rag tag group, but it's getting out of hand now. Groot's newfound abilities were cool. Seeing how Rocket was "made" was interesting, but then it flies in the face of all Rocket's other appearances where he wants to make destructive weapons when his purpose was to help create a utopian society and his friends were killed (basically cause of his actions), you'd think he'd be fighting for the little guy the rest of his life. I get that James Gunn wants a place in his movies for Rooker and Fillion, and it worked with Rooker in this movie, but Fillion was funny but the whole scene played out horribly bad. It was supposed to be the most secure super-genius techno-organic space facility and then he comes out of this space suit? Should have kept him in it and then said all his lines, not be a simple human idiot making fun of who apparently is an even bigger idiot. Gregg Henry was great to see and actually felt like a good serious touching moment. It just felt like Gunn got to let his freak brain get a little too "out there" and Quill seriously should have died in space instantly. He was no longer half god-like (little "g") when his father died. I think the movies were good in the order they came out. GotG#1=very good. GotG#2=good. GotG#3= ok.
hangover!
Loved this movie with my wife and stepson, even though a few scenes were corny the overall film was great!
Disappointing. Silly [not funny, but silly]. Perhaps should have stopped making Guardian movies after the first, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Great storyline, little bit graphic for the younger kids (violence-realistic) the ending was a great switch & twist
Our whole family enjoyed this movie. Funny, frightening,thrills and heartfelt. Delighted
Look it wrapped up the guardians and tied things up in a pretty bow…. But ultimately it wasn’t really good? Adam Warlock’s inclusion was kind of lackluster, definitely played up the dumbhimbo thing and his reasons for existing and doing what he was doing werent really there. A lot of emotion and action to remind us we should be wowed and sad about the disbanding…. But then the guardians end up plowing through a bunch of other experiment victims in a “cool” blaze of glory. Ultimately it just left me thinking that if everyone that was crushed under The High Evolutionary’s control or was an experiment got together to wipe his smug ass out, would have made a lot more sense and would have been a lot less destructive to the Guardian’s tech and world. 🤷🏻??? Honestly it’s just another indicator that marvel has run its course and can’t think of better was of including and removing characters…. Too much copy and paste.
My husband and I were excited to see this movie and, for the most part, we enjoyed it. However, it seemed like the boisterous over the top violence overshadowed some of the relationships in the story. The end seemed rushed and lacking connectedness among pivotal characters. I would say, not for young kids, lots of swearing (sh@t, b#^ch, f#ck), horribly nasty creatures and portrayed cruelty to animals.
Loved this movie. Was funny and had you almost crying at times. Sooo sad this was the last one. Definitely will see again and again just like the others. A Guardian Fan!
