Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 opens in theaters on May 5, 2023
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 offers a rare thing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: a satisfying ending to a trilogy. While the Guardians series will probably continue on in some fashion, writer-director James Gunn ties up this iteration of the team with the same humor and heart as the first two, but this time adds in unexpected darkness in the form of Rocket’s genuinely disturbing origin story. It’s what makes this somewhat busy but mostly lovable threequel such an emotionally rich comic book movie.
A lot has happened with the Guardians since Vol. 2 was released in 2017; the original Gamora died, a past version of Gamora survived, and Peter Quill and Mantis learned that they’re brother and sister. Yet Gunn deftly turns that tangled ball of MCU lore threads into a devilishly fun yarn. This film has all the silly dialogue and gags you’d expect but there’s a far more dramatic tone to it, which is a welcome change after the second movie had the characters breathlessly laughing at their own jokes.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a fun go-around with characters we love to spend time with, but the second film is far denser and has a few more pacing and story problems than the first. Still, it's a very good movie with one of the most emotionally impactful endings of any Marvel Cinematic Universe story yet. Vol. 2 does a great job developing i...

The rest of the Guardians put up a strong showing, and scenes where the entire group gets to play off one another are the best Volume 3 has to offer. We’ve watched them grow into a family over the years and it’s a treat to bask in their chemistry one more time. Karen Gillan’s Nebula is the standout among the group, as she takes a more prominent role and has a new robot arm capable of doing all sorts of cool stuff. Though naturally, there are a few quibbles to be had. Drax and Mantis each get their moment to shine, but by this point their oblivious idiocy has long since been overmined for laughs. Groot is, as always, there to say his three favorite words and kick ass, and with his formidable new physique he does just that, yet considering that this is a movie about Rocket’s past, it’s disappointing we didn’t learn anything about the beginnings of their friendship.

With a large central cast and many supporting players, along with an always-escalating sense of peril, the plot tends to have one too many things going on at any given moment, but the core focused around Rocket’s trauma is rock solid and acts as an emotional anchor to keep it on track. Ultimately, Guardians 3 finishes the story that began in 2014 a...
The Guardians of the Galaxy deliver their swan song in Vol. 3 and it’s a rockin’ good time. Through Rocket’s tragic origin story we’re given a new appreciation for this whole family of lovable malcontents. And even though the plot has a bit too much going on, some of the humor feels stale, and Adam Warlock was woefully underused, the cast’s incredi...

May 5, 2023 · Negative Reviews. 10. THE_BL4DEX. We need to talk about Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, an extremely necessary film, one of the few good films of the post-Avengers: Endgame generation. First of all, I must immensely praise the work of director James Gunn and the actors, the film is very elaborate and has performances that make the audience move.
