It's hard to have an unpopular opinion on a film. It's fine if Doug doesn't like it, afterall, no movie's going to please everyone, and it's great he can see and respect why so many others love it. For me, it's the emotional core that carries this film. This and the second movie are the only Marvel movies to ever make me cry. Rocket had the most traumatic childhood ever. The fact that "hurts" was his first word is just heartbreaking, let alone what happens to his other test subject friends. After that, and especially after learning of the other atrocities the High Evolutionary has committed, you really want to see Rocket and the other Guardians give him what's coming to him. It's just so emotionally investing that I can overlook most of the flaws Doug mentioned. That, and the action sequences are still great. It's not a perfect, but fitting end to the trilogy.

Corrections for Doug: 1- The MCU is now in phase 5. 2- It was mentioned that Mantis was Peter's sister. 3- Peter reunited with his grandfather at the end.

One time I talked about The Last Jedi with a guy that loved it. We liked the same scenes, we hated the same scenes, but for him the positives vastly outweighed the negatives, and for me it was the opposite. The final verdict is always about personal preference, even if you can objectively agree on the strenghts and weaknesses of a story.

Bradley Cooper did an amazing job voicing Rocket in this movie. Just phenomenal

The Guardians films have gradually gotten more and more personal. Consider that James Gunn has gone on record saying that he wrote a lot of himself into the character of Rocket. Consider that Gunn was fired and re-hired and it was unclear whether he'd get to finish his trilogy. Consider that Rocket was largely the main character of this film and was to have had his brain be dissected for it's great ideas and then be thrown away by an amoral corporation that was pursuing perfection, and who deemed him worthless otherwise; a corporation filled with both sterile repetition in its employees and that creates anthropomorphic animals living in a mockery of society. The amoral corporation pursued him for his ideas, for what they could get out of him, but finally he was found, validated and received a new opportunity as the leader of a new team. Yeah, the story is a bit of a mess but considering this was the biggest middle finger to Disney of all time--and right under their nose--and *also* managed to wrap the story of these characters in satisfying ways...how can anyone not applaud? This feels like the true Epilogue to Avengers: Endgame that I didn't know I needed.

I really liked Star Lord trying to remind Gamora of a person she never was, him trying to turn her into something she isn't was a nice subtle parallel to the High Evolutionary's twisted ideals, only he learned his lesson in the end and focused on the people he already had

This is where I feel James Gunn has full potential to make the new DC universe how it originally should’ve been

I cried watching this movie. What I loved most was that as soon as Peter saw that Rocket was hurt, he instantly went to help. Peter barely cared about anything, even his own health and hygiene because of his pain, but got up to help Rocket regardless.

Quill's arc in the movie was figuring out to move on, so him returning to his roots and reuniting with his grandfather makes perfect sense.

Doug says "Starlord's Earth dad" and the nitpicking part of my brain immediately goes "it's his grandfather, not his Earth dad".

I think a big factor as to why many people really got into this was the amount of trouble Gunn ran into when making this. He was immediately fired when the false allegations about him were making the rounds and rehired when they were proven to be false so he had a ton of hurdles to jump through along with keeping up with the release cadence Marvel’s been trying to do since 2021 so it’s amazing we got what we got. Not to mention, it did feel like James Gunn concluded his time with the Guardians the way he wanted to (a similar reason to why I think so many people hold the first SpongeBob movie in high regard). I did end up really liking this movie (though not as much as the other two) but I respect the movie for how it turned out and what it meant for Gunn.

I don’t think this movies holds up quite as well with a rewatch, and I do agree that it’s bloated to a fault, but it does give a satisfying conclusion to these characters. It’s one of the only movies in the MCU that I legit got emotional watching.

To me this is by far the best of the Guardians of the Galaxy films. Everyone's emotional journey just felt so earned and fulfilling. Also Chukwudi Iwuji as the High Evolutionary I was just incredible and one of the best villains in the MCU. In all honesty, it might be my favourite MCU film of all time and one my all time favourite comic book movies.

So the thing with Adam Warlock is that, somewhere along the way, the timeline for the movies got screwed up and GotG 3 was, if I remember correctly, suppose to come out before Infinity War so he didn't have the soul stone like he did in the comics and they had to rework his character.

The one that got us teary eyed 😢

The part with Rocket saying don’t kill the High-Evolutionary cause we’re Guardians Of The Galaxy, that is where this movie nails it about what superhero movies are supposed to be about, super-heroes never kill anybody. It’s okay to watch them throw a punch here & there but they don’t murder.

I just feel that out of all characters, Nebula had the best development, especially from being a villain to a hero

You are not alone on this, Doug. While I do think GOTG Vol. 3 is the best Phase 5 MCU film so far, and the only decent film released by Disney in 2023, I did not think that highly of it either. Thank you for sharing your opinion!

Elemental was very enjoyable and wholesome for me though, albeit that’s technically a Pixar film. But yes, Guardians 3 was an amazing finale to the series, very emotional and intense throughout while still having well done humor.

6:28 ok I haven't watched this movie yet but I remember Mantis' powers being explained in the second movie that she reads the minds of whomever she touches. And looking at that scene taking place in a dark dungeon like setting I can understand why the monsters will be scared. Why Doig can't put 2 and 2 together ... I guess he's outgrown actual sympathy in movies like others.

Truly an EPIC End to a Great trilogy from Marvel and from James Gunn

It sucks Doug didn’t like this movie but when he said how much he liked Super I screamed like a groupie. One of my favorite movies of all time

The jokes in the movie are to show how close the characters are as a family. It shows that they're comfortable enough to look a little stupid in front of each other. It's more about them being in character than the movie trying to make you laugh.

This is the Perfect Way to make a Trilogy and that Shows James Gunn knows how to make Movies and Adaptations that has Heart and Soul.

The grand finale to James Gunn’s epic trilogy.

Honestly, my biggest issue with the third guardians Film and I remember saying this to my friend when we were in the theater was the fact that Starr Laura didn’t have his equipment that he’s had in literally every single movie that he’s been in. And the movie did a terrible job explaining why he didn’t have his gear. The marvel fan boys online tried to defend it and say oh it’s because he rushed to go see if his friend prior movies Havasu establish that he has plenty of equipment on his spaceship which clearly they used throughout the movie. It just seemed dumb and forced into having a fake out at the third act, and it makes absolutely no sense because at this point Star Lord is nothing more than a human so he should’ve instantly died being in space

Honestly, one of the best Disneycember videos this year. Great to hear your genuine and passionate opinion thats contrary to the public opinion on something you care about

Doug, you are not alone on this. I mean it. I don’t really like Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. Sure, there are some things that I like, the rocket backstory and some of the plot elements that works fine. But I just don’t really like the noises.

I hadn't noticed it, but you're right. In an explanation, James Gunn said that Quill was in such a hurry to leave Knowhere and save Rocket, that he left his helmet behind in a drawer. But I find it strange that somewhere along the way, in a world where you're constantly in space, it would not occur to you to find a replacement helmet... you know, in case your ship blows up and you have to jump out, which is exactly what happened in that last fight too.

The color gradient in this film looks like a graphics novel. It's pastel yet with high contrast and in the shade is such a beautiful sci fi palette. Reminds me more of the old Judge Dredd comics than anything else.

On the 19th day of disneycember the critic gave for me: 19 tortured animals... sorry that was dark even for me 😅 18 Electric pulses 17 football balls 16 space detours 15 loosers that whine about their "best" 14 cheating angels 13 quatum bugs 12 killing sprees 11 pinky animals 10 boring ghosts 9 Web abilities 8 DEAAAAD PEOPLEEEEEEE 7 lost children You know this should have beeing the fourth day since how can i say theres "6 elements"? FIVE NEW CONTINENTS 4 Stars of wishes 3 Broken spells 2 Swapping places And a weird videogame movie for me

While we all know Rocket's animal buddies were going to die, when they did for me they got me in the feels man.

I know you didn’t see it but I did with the peter wanting to go back to earth, they always remind Peter he has family on earth and never went back, Peter even after the 1st one was scared to go back to earth, and in the third one he finally grows up and goes back.

This is a Phase 5 movie

I found the High Evolutionary to be an interesting villain because he's a man who plays God and is a total perfectionist. All to create a perfect species, the fact he will experiment on and sacrifice innocent creatures to is beyond cruel, but to create an entire civilization and destroy it when he finds a flaw is terrifying. It's especially horrible knowing he's done this multiple times. Plus, I like how he was unhinged at random moments because he was so calm and diplomatic in other ways. You could tell that this guy had a direct mindset but was clearly mad with power.

I felt all the characters completed their arcs, I loved the fact that an MCU movie finally allowed an F Bomb, and most of all, loved that this felt like James Gunn's vision, it may be the only Phase 4 film outside of Wakanda Forever that didn't feel like it was directed by committee. Doug, you are absolutely right, art is subjective. In this time of culture wars and social media, it takes guts to admit you don't love something a lot of people do, and vice versa, so respect for that.

I think it actually hit me harder that nobody died in this, I find it a lot more relatable and surprising when you just have to say goodbye to someone, whether you're moving away or they are it's this really weird emotion knowing someone you see all the time isn't gonna be in your life as much anymore. Obviously death is a sad thing but I think a lot of us are sort of desensitized to movie deaths (especially in finales), so seeing something like Drax waving goodbye to Mantis hit me way harder than if one of those characters had died.

There are so many KZread movie critics that treat their opinions like facts. I respect doug for treating his opinions as opinions. He explain them and give examples, but he never says this movie is terrible and that the only truth. He says i didn't like and if you do talk to me and we can have an interesting conversation

They give awards for vocal performances. Bradley Cooper deserves it. His performance was outstanding

The fact that I got a ad with hooked on a feeling during this Disneycember

This movie felt important to me. It taught me to let go of things I can’t have and things that are lost to me, like Starlord had to let go of Gamora.

About the "Heaven Scene", I don't think it was heaven at all. The background was the cages from the high evolutionary's ship. So I think it was a coma induced hallucination... Gamora's presence is about letting go and recovering from loss. Some people are not ready to let go, trauma and depression are unreasonable beasts.

I felt this wrapped up the series very well

Quill was hammered and was rushing to save his friend. It makes sense that he might forget something.

I know the death of Rocket's friends was expected, but what made disturbing for me was the execution. You something terrible is going to happen, but you don't know when it's coming.

Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 was absolutely fantastic

It really was, I saw it twice in the theatres, and it was totally epic.

I watched this at home. It was fine. Those kind of movies today are so weak, that "fine" is a compliment.

9:03 Yeah.... It really feels like James Gunn was trying to force Quill's/ Star-Lord's characterization into a specific way, just for the sake of the plot (like forgetting his helmet and boots because in VOL. 2 he lost them at the end, even if he had them back during Infinity War / Endgame). The worst part is that you can't even blame it on "each poject doing their own thing causing contradictions". Gunn was involved in both this film and the christmas special. If anything I feel like, a conclusion that makes more sense and ties into what they were going for with Quill and Mantis, is having them BOTH (if not the entire guardians) meet Grandpa Quill, to show the guy who basically lost his entire family at the beginning of the first film, that he has a new extended family out there in outter space (also ties back to Mantis' character arc of she having more family out there, not just Ego); even if at the end they have Quill AND Mantis stay on Earth, and have Mantis and Quill go on different ways (even if they are still on the same planet)

I can’t get over how they did Adam Warlock dirty! In the comics, he’s basically space Jesus, but in this movie he’s just a bratty momma’s boy.

On the 19th day of disneycember my critic gave to me 19 guardians ending 18 personal favorites 17 Charlie Browns 16 not one pieces 15 Shaun Cages 14 cheesy sports 13 quantum realms 12 underappreciated masterpieces 11 rescued movies 10 sleeping ghosts 9 definitive interpretations 8 scary M Nights 7 live action reboots 6 elements dating 5 ice ages drifting 4 foul wishes 3 amitys blushing 2 marvelous failures And mario and luigi plumning by a pair tree

Peter's helmet was destroyed in the 2nd movie they used it in Infinity War despite that, which is why many people get confused about why he didn't use it

The scenes with baby rocket, his death and founding out he's a raccoon almost got me in theaters 😢😢😢

Normally I listen to movie critics to figure out which movies I should watch, which I shouldn’t and to find out messages and little details that I didn’t see before in movies to make them better. And while I normally respect their opinions, I’m sorry but I disagree with Doug- this has to be my personal favourite movie of the year. When I first learnt about the Guardians, I thought they were good but I wasn’t as interested as others. They got better overtime and the holiday special did help a bit as I thought it was pretty fun, but this film fully helped me fall in love with the Guardians. It had a good story to keep people interested. The music was great as it evolved through decades with each movie, the first two movies have songs from the 60s and mostly the 70s. By Vol 3, there are also 80s, 90s and even 2000s songs which could indicate the end of a century of music along with the end of the original Guardians team. Some of the songs in Vol 3 despite never hearing about them before this movie, I now listen to them a lot which is what’s so great about these Guardians movies, I feel like James Gunn is introducing decades old songs to new generations. It was confirmed that the High Evolutionary would be one of the MCU’s most evil villains and boy whoever said that was correct. You see how great and evil he is but also hate him because of what he’s done and what he does do and the actor playing him really nails it playing this crazy, perfection-obsessed psychopath. As for the characters, some of them are at their best here and I like how basically everyone is given something to do like Kraglin finally having control of Yondu’s arrow, Cosmo stepping up to save Kraglin despite their little feud throughout the film and even Adam Warlock who despite could’ve been a better character does get a bit of redemption at the end.

I can't really talk about this film without bringing up the fact that it was one of the first films I'd seen in a theater in over a year and I was going through some bad trauma and a bad break up. For me, this film was a nice escape, and I enjoyed it. I don't fully know if my opinion would be the same if I gave it a rewatch, but I feel the movie served its purpose.

My cat died earlier that day so I was already pretty emotional when I saw this one.

On the Nineteenth day of Disneycember. The critic gave to me: Nineteen Animal Cruelties Eighteeen Christmas Spiders Seventeen Children Dancing Sixteen Thrawns-a-rising Fifteen Bay-isms Fourteen Cheesy Ball Games Thirteen Modok Assholes Twelve Violent Clone Wars Eleven Shape - Shifters Ten Boring Mansions Nine Canceled Spideys Eight Seeing Spirits Seven Dull Adventures Six Tempers Blowing Five Salty Sloths Four Kings To Vent To Three Cartoon Epics Two Singing Planets And a plumber from the 90's

One thing I like about it is it felt mostly stand alone. There weren't random cameos or set ups to other movies, it just felt like a send off to characters I had grown to really love during the last 10 years. I, like many others, had never heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy but have come to regard them as such great characters

Look whatever your thoughts on the movie, tell me you didn't tear up at Guardians 3's dance ending. Now that was a happy tearjerking moment.

About the two points regarding the Guardians and the Evolutionary, I do understand Doug's POV while it didn't work with him. How it bothered him, mainly with all the constant shouting, but I feel it actually fits for this movie due to what we've seen the Guardians go through. This movie is meant to show the Guardians past reaching a boiling point. Like with Quill, I can see why Doug would find him being desperate to be with this version of Gamora obnoxious, but for me, it helped highlight the tragedies Quill suffered from coming to a head. Quill witnessed his mom die from brain cancer at a young age and saw Yondu sacrifice his life for him. Proving he was his real father figure. Learning that his Gamora was murdered by Thanos was the last straw for him. Which is why he's more depressed in this movie. He loved his Gamora. Him doing everything to get this Gamora to love him shows his desperation to not lose someone he loved again. Wanting the relationship they had back. As for the High Evolutionary, he does scream a lot when it's not needed. But it highlights how mentally unstable he is. How he'll lose it if nothing goes the way in his delusions of a perfect world. In fact, he serves as a dark reflection of Quill himself. As Quill attempts to recreate the relationship he had with his Gamora. Similar to how the Evolutionary tries to keep re-creating the perfect society. The only difference is that Quill realizes how wrong it is to force the alternate Gamora to be exactly like the original. He allows her to live her own life with the Ravangers and parts ways with her on better terms. The Evolutionary however, never reflects on how monstrous his actions are and gets worse and worse when he tries hunting down Rocket himself. Ending with him being alone and despised for all the atrocities he's committed. I see him as what Quill would've turned into if he had let his grief over the loss of his Gamora consume him. It's one of the reason I considered him a fantastic villain.
