How do you rate Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?

I have just been to watch this film with my friends, it was a birthday trip so we saw it on the 4DX super screen.

Rocket is my favourite character, and it was really sad when all of his friends died.

I rate Guardians of the Galaxy III 11/10.
 
Gunn ended things the smart way, he ended this incarnation of the Guardians but he didn't wrap things up so much that future continuations would feel superfluous because he brought in new characters to continue with.

IE, what George Lucas should have done back in 1983.
 
There's not really a whole lot I can add until this thread starts breaking off into more specific discussions of the film. Easily the best Marvel entry since Endgame, and in many ways, it surpasses IW/Endgame in emotional depth, character development, and sheer fun. I loved the final moment with Gamora and Peter and the way they were standing during their final words. Rocket's story was so well done I have no words. And all the Guardians had their moment to shine. If this is the type of films we can expect from the DCU going forward then the future is bright.

This interpretation of the High Evolutionary was wonderful. The MCU has been missing a truly evil, scene stealing villain. I would love to see Iwuji return in the role--and given how things are going with Majors, I would have no objections with the MCU changing up the Kang Dynasty plans and making the High Evolutionary as the new villain.
Just cast Chukwudi as Kang and say the High Evolutionary is a variant.
 
Just came back from the film. It was perhaps my most anticipated GOTG film after Endgame. Unfortunately, I thought it to be the weakest entry, overly long with Peter and Gamora's story getting sidetracked. It's not a bad way to end the series and it's one of the stronger marvel entries but could have been 30 to 40 minutes shorter.

Now that we've finally reached this point I do really wonder what this movie would have been had it come out sooner and had come before Thor Love and Thunder. Would love to know how Gunn would have handled Thor. Clearly the script was altered after that movie.

I believe Gunn has said that Taika 'took a bullet for him' because he never wanted to deal with having Thor in the movie in the first place. (He had no influence on what happened with the Guardians in Endgame on account of being fired at the time.)
 
Yeah, it was pretty obvious that Thor was never going to factor into this and the Guardians wouldn't play a big role in Thor 4. We all suspected it would be a quick voiceover of "Well we traveled for a bit and parted ways" thing.
 
If they ever felt the need to tell some of those stories, I wouldn't mind a animated series, 20 minute episodes. That could work.
But like many, I never needed that team for a whole movie. It worked for the end of Endgame, cute scene. It worked for the opening of Love And Thunder. That was fun. But also more than enough.
 
Went to the 3:00 p.m. advanced screening on Thursday in our newest theater's (though it's not so new anymore) AVX theater. Now I understand why Rocket is the way he is. I think I liked Ego better than the High Evolutionary. True, he wanted to remake the universe in his own image, but I don't imagine he would have temper tantrums like the High Evolutionary did (kind of makes Kylo Ren from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy seem normal). I loved it when Rocket rescued the baby raccoons and finally accepted that he is one of them, unlike in Vol. 2, when he says: "Don't call me a raccoon!"

Never seen Infinity War or Endgame (or the Holiday Special, since I don't get Disney+, so hopefully they'll include it as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray or it will come out as a separate release, since I don't see myself signing up for Disney+ anytime soon) and I was able to follow the story regardless. :)
 
I know that, I was just saying that I haven't seen them yet. I might buy them on Blu-ray when Vol. 3 is available to own as well. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
 
Just saw it. First Marvel flick I've seen on the big screen since leaving the 2nd Strange flick underwhelmed. Best Marvel experience since Endgame - although I did enjoy Shang-Chi and think I liked the last Spiderman movie? I barely remember. Anyway - good stuff.
 
I had some mixed feelings, some of the music bits seemed more forced this time around, Warlock seemed unnecessary and the High Evolutionary was a prat. It's a Guardians movie though so there's still a lot to like though, fun moments and visuals. Maybe it's the mood I've been in lately but I liked dour Starlord and his looking like he woke up too early from his bender through the whole thing. There seemed to be an androgynous thing going on with Nebula which was interesting. I guess I'd need to see it again and maybe in a better mood to give a final judgement and soak in all the details.

I see online that a lot of people found the animal stuff to be too hard to watch. I didn't have that issue but it was a bit of a downer, I get the importance to Rocket's story but it did dampen the mood a bit.

That Jennifer Holland sure is purty though, no wonder Gunn puts her in all his films.
 
All of the people who are horrified and disgusted by what the High Evolutionary did, really need to look into the kind of shit that is still going on in the real world right now. Like burn testing where they burn living pigs' backs over, and over, and over, and over again.
