This might be one of the most uplifting endings to a Marvel movie so far, every main character got a lovely send-off. I was amazed by how Gamora was handled as well, and I admired that they didn’t rekindle Quill and Gamora’s relationship. Ultimately the film was about found family, and it never veered off course. High Evolutionary is by far one of the best MCU villains.…

Guardians of the Galaxy has solidified itself as an incredible franchise within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Volume 1: The creation of these characters injected suspense, excitement, and a generous dose of over-the-top comedy into the MCU. Chris Pratt's portrayal of Star-Lord was a fantastic choice, and the characters like Rocket and Groot became instant fan favorites, with merchandise flying off the shelves.…

An excellent way to conclude <em>'Guardians of the Galaxy'</em>. <em>'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'</em> is my favourite of the trilogy, it's easily top ten from the MCU as a whole too. There's a ridiculous amount of heart placed in throughout, none more so than with a certain Rocket Racoon; those early scenes are so well done visually.…

I did indeed enjoy this movie but I have to say that I would have enjoyed it even more if it had not been such a comedy superhero movie. It is full of silly, cringeworthy and, as usual with Hollywood nowadays, not very intelligent attempts at humor. Slapstick at best and mostly just annoying. Certainly not very funny a lot of the time. Sure occasionally I did laugh but that was about one out of three times.…

What a disappointment! The first one was great fun, the second almost as good , but this film is just a poor cousin that really struggles from a weak storyline that never really gets going.…

<b>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the perfect farewell to this quirky group of rogues we never expected to love so much.</b> Our faith in the Marvel Cinematic Universe waned throughout Phase 4 with films that felt hollow, rushed, and insincere. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.…
