Wow what a ride. So much to process. Good laughs and also some tears. Will need to watch it again. Thank you James Gunn for the Guardians of the Galaxy

Generic action, generic jokes. It was ok, the story and ambiance were good, but at this point way too generic with now "wow" moment.
But more importantly, why so much screaming? All characters are angry all the times and scream all the time. I left the theater on edge and tired. If it were on streaming I would have probably not watch it in one seating...
I do not understand why it has better ratings than other movies of the franchise.

Marvel is going down the drain but man did this movie remind me of why it is so beloved. Absolutely incredible. The jokes hit, the emotional beats hit, the symbolism hits (Adam Warlock). An incredible end to an incredible saga. Now we have to get back to the mess that is Kang.

I honestly don’t understand why people like this crap, it’s even worse than the second movie and that one was horrible.

God damn, James Gunn out here making grown men cry multiple times! He truly is the ultimate superhero director. Thank you for this awesome guardians journey and not folding to the super hero marvel normalities.

This movie was truly a fresh of breath air and will hopefully knock some sense into these other marvel projects.

A brilliant final entry to this series of films. Fun and engaging throughout. The first two films were both very good in my opinion, and this one is basically more of the same. The emotional beats with both Quill and also with Rocket were very well done. If you ignore the nostalgia-fest that was Spider-Man: No Way Home, then this is quite easily the best MCU film since Endgame, and maybe the only one I've genuinely enjoyed from start to finish. On the subject of comedy being inserted at the right times and hitting the mark: other writers and directors could take many notes here (looking at you, Thor: Love and Thunder).

:heart:x7
Sadly I was less impressed with this 3rd installment. This is just my opinion. . . it felt like Chris Pratt was phoning in his performance. Like his heart just wasn't in it. Also, although most of the comedy bits were still fun - some of them felt forced. But overall it was a solid effort and still quite enjoyable. [spoiler] And sad to see the gang break up in the end. [/spoiler]

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

A refreshing addition to the MCU, made me laugh, made me cry, and restored my faith in the franchise. A nostalgic and thrilling ending to the trilogy!

After a long time I can say that YES marvel finally did it. James really did it. Thank you James Gunn for this amazing ride.

AMAZING. This is what marvel used to be. A MUST WATCH. The only marvel movie that ever made me cry (besides endgame)

Made me laugh, made me cry. Such an emotional roller coaster. Great story. Best move I’ve seen from marvel since maybe Shang chi?

What a spectacular film, james gunn as done it again and i love his work on all 3 films and this one hits big, really enjoyed it and was left with full of different emotions, the action was amazing, still had the sense of humour that i loved, had it’s heartwarming moments and plot was decent, the film is everything that a marvel film should be!

I officially can say that I cried at all the three Guardians movies-- in the cinema!

One thing that really caught my eye was the violence, which I didn't really expect. There wasn't blood per se but the action was violent, with deaths on the "spicy" spectrum, like beheadings (which I liked).
The specials effects were good, the plot was what we (I) needed, and the music absolutely perfect.

The ending was just... someone please give me a hug!

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3’:

1. The Guardians have always been my favorite bunch within the MCU. Their films have consistently stood out from the typical Marvel fare. There’s just something incredibly relatable about them and their stories are filled with such heart. This one was no different. A solid send-off.

2. The High Evolutionary may just be the most purely-evil villain of the entire MCU so far. It was very easy to hate him.

3. Ugh. That scene. With the cages. Rocket and his friends. How can someone get so emotional over CGI talking animals? Yeah, that was rough.

Bonus Thought: Albeit sad, I like what they did with Gamora. It would have been somewhat predictable if she didn’t go back to the Ravagers. She’s simply NOT the same Gamora, and I’m glad they stuck with that.

Extra Bonus Thought: Will Poulter can get it.

James Gunn is starting to rival Wes Anderson's ragtag bunch of recurring actors... :joy:

Also, Lila is voiced by Linda Cardellini? I _knew_ I recognized her voice from somewhere!

A great and very enjoyable movie but too many sad parts in my opinion. Got me choked up three times and I hate being sad at the movies. Action sequences were very good. There were some cheesy moments. Music not quite as good as other two. Overall liked it better than the second but nowhere near as good as the first.

I applaud James Gunn and his team on this trilogy, they end it with an amazing film! I'll miss him and his eccentricities. Watch on the biggest screen possible!

Despite not wanting to pull the trigger for a genuine emotional pay-off, this does have the most heart and emotion out of any Marvel movie throughout. I think people will be surprised by how dark and emo this gets, which is announced straight from the opening credits. Unfortunately the rest of the movie is a mess. Adam Warlock and the villain are bland, the plot has that ‘we’re making it up as we go along’ feel to it, the tonal shifts and needle drops feel more jarring than cohesive and the action (despite a cool hallway fight) is noisy and not handled with the same care as the previous 2 (or _The Suicide Squad_). The characters and acting are the two things that keep it watchable (especially Mantis, Drax and Nebula get to shine here), but you can skip this without missing much.

5/10

Sucks this is the last one after waiting so long for more.
