I’m probably gonna be done with Marvel after Vol. 3 until something like the next two Avengers movies because literally nothing is gonna top Vol. 3. But that’s just my opinion.

Drax was literally screaming over sensitive nipples in gotg2. Gamora was pretty shouty and aggressive in gotg1 and she's the same here, which makes sense. Quill feels much more serious than in the last 2 movies with much more connection to the rest of the guards, here he really shows how connected they all are, not just to Gamora, but to the rest of the characters. The quarrels with Gamora weren't so much, as if that's his only theme here. Nebula went through a great development in the end, if you remember that she was actually the villain in the first movie, she feels great in this movie and with these characters. The characters were definitely okay and behaved quite appropriately to their character and story, there was much more of a nice family chemistry between them, more of an emotional connection. You highlighted individual possibly unfortunate jokes too much. But there were a lot of bad jokes in the second movie as well, many people I knew complained about Drax in past installments and Avengers movies, many complained about penis jokes that were repeated several times, about poop jokes about ugly Mantis, and so on. Don't try to pretend that the humor of past installments was no problem. The humor is still at the level of past parts. The theme with the new locations is interesting. But it seems too subjective, which is based on pure feeling and my own experience. I didn't get bored watching the new locations t and liked them for the most part. The movie was very beautiful. I can agree that the theme of destroying an entire planet was not given enough time. I disagree that the villain should have been less impulsive. When everything is according to plan I don't remember him yelling much. His insane obsession with his idea is quite consistent with the impulsiveness of his character and I liked many of the scenes with him.

Let's not forget that the villain was out smarted by his creation, and with an ego as big as... Well, a planet named ego, he started acting like a child who wanted to prove he knew better. A pure Narcissist at his core.

I really connected with the Gamora and Quill story. I went through a similar thing (obviously not the time travel space magic stuff). But the heartbreak over thinking relationship going back to day 1 and can bring it back. Not realizing that it’s just no longer the same relationship. It’s something different now. You’re fighting for someone who isn’t there anymore.

So weird to hear this. To me,. it's not just my favorite Guardians movie, but also my new favorite Marvel movie. I adore the darkness in this movie, and it balanced perfectly with the humor, like salt and chocolate.

You have to remember that a lot of this movie will be different because of the loss they had AND the one they’re current trying not to have most of the movie. Taking Gamora (OG gamora) and Rocket from the team will make the dynamic feel kinda off! Peter heavily interacts with rocket or gamora normally and now he’s having to start over with a gamora that doesn’t know he exists. It’s gonna be a different tone from just that alone. Not only that but a lot of the more clever jokes come from Rocket and star lord and obviously rocket is a bit… preoccupied and star lord is different because of all the losses he’s had in his life. It was a darker movie, year, but still a really good one. All three guardians movies are good to their own degree and that’s more then I can say for most of the marvel movies.

I mean, Drax had lines about his nipples in Vol 2., so this doesn’t surprise me.

I liked this one the most of the 3. Probably because it is a lot darker and more serious than the other 2. I didn’t really like volume 2 all that much. I thought the stuff with rocket was really good.

I'm genuinely interested to see how you find yourself feeling about Vol. 2 on a rewatch because every point of criticism you had for Vol. 3 I found applied far more to Vol. 2, especially on rewatch. I personally felt Vol. 3 was a lot closer to the balance in the first movie, and the comedic bits, while still bits that play out a bit longer than necessary, went by a lot faster than the Taserface and Groot misunderstanding what he's being told jokes. would definitely love to see an NC retrospective on them someday.

As far as the High Evolutionary screaming... yes, that is indeed the point. All his grandiosity and pomp goes out the window the moment Rocket is involved because he absolutely cannot accept that a mere "stepping stone," a "lesser" form of life outsmarted him. He is yelling BECAUSE he is the weakest man of all time whenever he's even so much as thinking of Rocket. They are VERY explicit that the mere *idea* of Rocket existing is enough to drive him insane. And yes, even his subordinates eventually notice this, hence the mutiny.

@sliderALT

You're right. He's like the abusive father who has kids and uses his authority to control them and who puts himself in some line of work that allows him to gain recognition and power over people. The High Evolutionary has a whole planet of "people" he "created" with the whole place designed in a way for everyone to put him on a high pedestal. It's that type of abuser--the one who's not secure with himself--that has to dominate and hurt others in order to feel like they've obtained the worth that they hope others think they already had. I thought they really showed how evil he is because everything he had came from hurting others. He wants others to think he has it together, but he really doesn't.

I loved it loved LOVED IT. 9.9/10 for me. While it did have some comedic moments that didn’t quite stick or stayed longer than they should I feel like other aspects of the film greatly made up for it. Personally this is my favorite one.

Doug! I thought I was alone. I didn't really like this one as much as I was hoping I would. But so many people say it's the best of the three?

I loved this movie to pieces. The villain was perfect, the emotional scenes were amazing, the tone and pacing were great and I went into this without knowing the Guardians were supposed to be ending I've heard people who've read the comics, may have a problem with the portrayal of Adam warlock, and fair play to them, because I didn't read them. I thought he was cool and had his moments, and he develops towards the end. As for the darkness and gritty tone, I loved it, I'm honestly surprised how far DISNEY went with how dark it can be. Kudos I say.

I think the "bad dog" joke works great since it happened at the beggining and only came back a lot later when you already forget the damn thing. If they kept repeating over and over with no break it would probably annoy me too. But they knew how to use it properly...

My biggest problem with this movie is the way they handled Gamora, arguably the best-written female character in the MCU gets fridged in Infinity War only to get a new undeveloped version of her in Endgame, and the way they warp up her story is unsatisfying I left this movie frustrated because of it.

So I might need to rewatch this a couple more times to know for sure cause right now I think I’m still riding a high from the experience combined with knowing this is Gunn’s last ride with Marvel before his DC Tenure begins but this is possibly my new #1 in terms of MCU films

Drax was literally screaming over sensitive nipples in gotg2. Gamora was pretty shouty and aggressive in gotg1 and she's the same here, which makes sense. Quill feels much more serious than in the last 2 movies with much more connection to the rest of the guards, here he really shows how connected they all are, not just to Gamora, but to the rest of the characters. The quarrels with Gamora weren't so much, as if that's his only theme here. Nebula went through a great development in the end, if you remember that she was actually the villain in the first movie, she feels great in this movie and with these characters. Drax is also much more improved compared to the previous pictures. The characters were definitely okay and behaved quite appropriately to their character and story, there was much more of a nice family chemistry between them, more of an emotional connection. You highlighted individual possibly unfortunate jokes too much. But there were a lot of bad jokes in the second movie as well, many people I knew complained about Drax in past installments and Avengers movies, many complained about penis jokes that were repeated several times, about poop jokes about ugly Mantis, and so on. Don't try to pretend that the humor of past installments was no problem. The humor is still at the level of past parts. The theme with the new locations is interesting. But it seems too subjective, which is based on pure feeling and my own experience. I didn't get bored watching the new locations t and liked them for the most part. The movie was very beautiful. I can agree that the theme of destroying an entire planet was not given enough time. I disagree that the villain should have been less impulsive. When everything is according to plan I don't remember him yelling much. His insane obsession with his idea is quite consistent with the impulsiveness of his character and I liked many of the scenes with him.

@@caleblee8783 um was this thread meant for me or a response to Doug cause if it’s the latter I think you might’ve accidentally forgot to exit out of reply before posting this

I feel like knowing what was going to happen to rockets friends just made me feel even more sad

I don’t think the ‘bad dog’ part is meant to be a joke tho.

Drax saying that the spacesuit doesnt match his eyes actally fits his character perfectly lol, hes always saying weird dumb shit like that...

Vol. 2 didn't leave much of an impact on me but I loved this one.

I do find it funny they decide to delve hard into Rockets backstory in the last movie and not, like the second one. Its like "Oh and this sad stuff happened oky bye"

Draxx complaining about the suit, to me at least, sound like something the character would say because ever since the first movie Draxx has shown that he's incredible vain, he describe himself as someone unbelievable humble, got offended when Mantis said he didn't like him, he sees himself as a high individual so when someone want to put him in a not favorable light he just says it

2:26 Well I should point out a monumental moment in this car door scene. It has the first and so far only f-bomb to be granted in any of all the MCU films or shows. So there is still an envelope being pushed here.

I disagree. "Open the fuckin door" is pure gold.

Spoiler warning: I liked this film a lot, but my one big issue with it is that it doesn't balance melodrama with comedy very well. This is something that a lot of the recent Marvel movies struggle with, but it's a shame that gotg 3 struggles with it, too, because the other two gotg films probably did it better than most of the other MCU films, which is saying a lot. I remember seeing that scene where Draax tricks Mantis into getting on a motorbike to help the others right after the flashback of Lyla's death, and I was sitting there thinking, "This is too soon for jokes. I can't deal with this." It was so tonally jarring that it felt like two completely different movies interrupting each other instead of one movie. The melodrama was handled well, and some of the jokes got me a laugh, but the film was over two hours long. Realistically they could have cut several of those jokes.

Knowing what we do about Doug, I can easily imagine him rewatching this movie in a couple years after seeing Vol. 1 and 2 right beforehand and then (if not loving it) appreciating it way more.

Tbh that’s what I did. I always make it a point to rewatch previous specific movies (or moments in the case of the teamups). After rewatching GOTG 1, 2, the I Am Groot shorts, the bits of Infinity War, Endgame, Love & Thunder and the Holiday Special, that just made the emotional moments of 3 even better.

I feel like he’s gonna like it a lot more when he reviews it for Disneycember this year.

I liked it. It evolves beyond just being the same thing we have already seen. And moves the characters and their story arc forward. The fun moments were fun- the dramatic moments hit their marks- and the action was stylish. Another fulfillment in the franchise series for me. But Hey- there are going to be different opinions for everything. Nothing wrong with that.

Apologies if this is a spoiler: just when you thought Secret of Nihm was traumatizing 😱😭

Don't worry Doug, I agree with you. Honestly the humor got old for me as well. And the yelling, all the freaking yelling. I don't know why people think constant arguing makes for a good team dynamic. Best parts were Rocket's backstory and when the Guardians just shut up and worked together.

I like this movie it's corny and you get what you expect from a marvel movie with the clichés at this point

Literally just back from vol.3 I like the first one, found two too jumbled and messy and loved 3

If you think this is dated, if I see one more animated Disney film where the lead character is some quirky, charmingly awkward and intelligent, ahead-of-their-time nerd I'm going to go back to 2007 and smash my DVD player over my head.

It's not about starlord winning gamora over, man, it's about coping with her being gone... it's the whole point of the movie, Starlord not being able of coping with his feelings about her, rocket and his grandfather And yes, the villain is weak and pathetic, because he's only trying to look strong. That's the whole point, he acts like god, but is more flawed than anyone else in the movie

A lot of what you said I felt the complete opposite. I do agree with the amount of cuts being too much, I did notice that and I can agree that was a little much but overall I loved it.

Oh god is this finally happening? Is the Marvel fatigue finally settling in for real? Can we please move on from the caped jokers and have another resurgence of, I dunno, space operas or Rambo-type action movies..? Can we please stop it with superheroes for at least 10-20 years and have a different craze for a bit..?

Drax complaining about the colour of his suit? You mean the same Drax that complained about having sensitive nipples?

The whole "we've seen it a million times" reason to not like something is silly to me. Every movie can't do something new just because you watch a ton of movies, that kind of talk is why people don't always agree with critics.

I didn’t like it either. The group dynamic was off because Gamora’s new/gone, Rocket’s out of commission, and Peter is this shlubby drunk for the first 10 minutes (and then is cold and intelligent afterwards with no explanation). Each act of the film got better and better, and by the end I can say that I enjoyed it as a whole - but a plethora of jokes missed for me, the characters felt really off (except for Adam Warlock, Mantis, Drax, and Nebula), and it constantly had this annoying, variable style in music/editing/sound/cinematography that was extremely jarring to me (except for the cool hallway fight scene that actually utilized the obnoxious fish-eye lens and tracking shots). GotG 3 I think defies an easy interpretation of what went wrong because its strengths and weaknesses constantly changed between acts for me - it felt like 3 different films slammed together to create one non-cohesive product.

I agree with pretty much most of what Doug says here. It’s a good movie, and I found myself satisfied by the end, but a lot of plot points felt predictable, forced, or underutilized.

Considering that drax doesn’t wear a shirt often because he has sensitive nipples. (His words) i don’t doubt that he would complain about a color not complimenting his eyes.

I liked Vol. 1 and loved Vol 2. (Probably my favorite Marvel movie) and I loved Vol. 3. I was prepared to not like it as much as Vol 2, but I think it came pretty close to me enjoying it just as much. Spoilers I don’t mind having a more melodramatic tone, as these are characters I care about, and I think the actors know how to pull emotions very well. I was pretty invested during the scenes where characters died or appeared like they were going to die. Even when it was pretty obvious they would or they wouldn’t, the scenes were really good at getting me to care. I was anxious about how they were going to handle Quill and Gamora since it would feel kind of disingenuous to have them fall in love just because another version of her loved him, and I thought they handled it okay. He simps for her in the first act, which I didn’t like initially, but it’s presented as a bad thing, as he’s just clinging to the things he’s lost instead of what he still has. He even acknowledges that Rocket may not have gotten as hurt as he did if he hadn’t been moping. And Gamora calls him out for being weak, and Mantis and Drax encourage him to stop with the lily pad analogy. After that scene I noticed he stopped actively simping for her, and the movie ends with them seeing each other as respected friends(?). It wasn’t the ending I wanted, but I think that it was a good choice to make. And I thought the villain was a decent parallel to this, as he was too unsatisfied with the way things were and kept trying to make things how he wanted them to no avail. I did have some complaints. I wish they had spent some more time interacting with Rocket before he was wounded. I’d have liked Quill and Gamora to have a bit more healthy interactions after he stopped trying to court her, even though I do agree with them not falling in love. And I would have liked Adam Warlock to have gotten more characterization. I’m honestly surprised you though he was the most consistently good thing, as I thought he was the weakest part. He didn’t really seem to have much character or emotion to me aside from being confused about everything. His mother died and I barely remember his reaction to that. I did think the dance party ending felt a little trite and cheesy, especially since the main characters weren’t even all together for it, as this was meant to be their last moment together before parting ways. And while I’m not personally a fan of a lot of the humor, it didn’t really get too much in the way of the main story for me, so I didn’t mind it. And the jokes that did make me smile were appreciated. I’d have to see it again to have a sure opinion, but I had a great time, and I left the theater wanting to see it again.

the yelling was way too mcu and I wanted to mute the audio

It wasn’t Lylla getting shot that surprised me. The camera shots are even framed before to let you sit in whats abt to happen. Its Rockets scream. This is a character that doesnt show emotion a lot. And we witness the last time he openly showed emotion like that. Additionally, I think this movie was abt the guardians and not the galaxy. Although I appreciate a differing opinion.

Only three things really bug me about the film. The first is them seemingly setting up a romance sub-plot between peter and nebula which doesn't go anywhere. The second is how this film is even more irrelevant to the blip than the others (from Peter saying how he ALMOST destroyed half the universe when he DID destroy half the universe to the fact that Rocket losing everyone because of the blip is never addressed especially when you see he went through a similar experience before. Even Gunn's argument that this being away from earth makes it easier to ignore the blip makes no sense as the blip was a universe wide catastrophe, not an earth only thing). The third is how they treated Gamora. This film wants you to believe that she was from a point in time when she was still loyal to thanos when according to endgame this is the gamora at the beginning of the guardians film, so there is no reason for her to be so different from the Gamora everyone knew nor why she and PEter didn't have a chance. She also doesn't know who he is when she clearly stated in the first film 'I know who you are, PETER QUILL!'. It really does feel forced the way Gunn is trying to make it so that PEter and Gamora don't get together. Also we never get to see how her reappearance and change in personality affects the rest of the guardians as she wasn't just important to Peter.

Guardians 1 and 2 were more bright and colorful but they were both still super dark stories full of genocide and melodrama (ps this movie made me cry like 3 and a half times while laughing simultaneously

This movie is the most different from the other guardian movies as it’s meant to be more depressing, these guys were split up for 5 years with most of them being dusted, the one of them dead and replaced and a lot of new trauma and old trauma they must face, it’s rather bold for a guardian film I feel and it paid of perfectly by having the characters all shine in their own moments and ways aswell as having rocket a pretty under appreciated character as the emotional heart to tie it all together But that’s just how I saw it

I get the feeling Doug’s gonna like this movie a bit more when he rewatches it for a Disneycember. Edit: I saw his Disneycember and while he still didn’t like it, I’m glad he isn’t stubborn and admits that he’s glad that me and the majority of audiences love the film even if he didn’t.

GotG is probably technically the best MCU trilogy

I’m honestly someone who isn’t bothered by the little details and stuff I think I’m mostly intrigued on how they’re going to end their stories I basically want this film to make tear

In this movie the story was the most important thing, most of the screaming of the characters has a very good explanation and reason, they are all very distressed because is kind of the first time they are facing this situation, the villian screams because he is crazy, he wants to be rational and powerfull but is really broken so he vents all his frustration yelling, and as the movie goes on you understand why he is like that. The color palette is less saturated because the movie is not a happy playful film like 1 or 2. I thought this movie didn't have almost any humor or jokes, the door situation was a little funny to me, an alien that never has encontered an earthly car door, and doesn't know how to use it (i dare to say that in a decade ther would be people that woudn't know how to open a pre 2000s car). In movies it always botther me how characters go to new planets and use stuff they never encountered before without any problem, this movie addresses that 2 or 3 times, old tech, weird tech, and custom tech that they don't know how to use. But for me this was a drama over everything else, the characters find some kind of closure to all the suffering they had gone through

I get not being a big fan of it, but I am baffled by how vehemently/aggressively Doug is coming at this movie. I personally thought it was beautiful

Thank you for not taking Disney's money and reviewing this honestly. I can't believe how you took every word out of my mouth regarding how bad this movie was... such a sad mess compared to the first 2.

The second one was a little messy too. But OK

Just saw it the other day, absolutely loved the film minus Gamora being a complete ass and like 1 or 2 parts. This was a fantastic film, an epic send off and honestly, my 2nd favorite trilogy in the series just behind Captain America. All 3 movies are consistently good and get progressively more dark and personal as it continues but keeps the same atmosphere. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I enjoyed this movie and I'm glad James Gunn was brought back and got to cap off the trilogy that he started. If I wasn't so invested in the characters, I probably wouldn't have been emotional at the end.

I also thought the movie was really gritty for no reason. There was like no colour. Also one of the main Guardians can't interact with any of the others for 90% of the movie and there's a fetch quest, it's just so trying. It eventually becomes a guardians movie with that hallway scene but it's just too little too late and I didn't think I got my money's worth. It felt like the shell of a guardians movie without a soul. And wearing a jacket made out of depression

I think going from Vol 1 - Vol 2 - Infinity War - Endgame - Vol 3 has a consistent good flow

Guardian of the Galaxy vol 3 was phenomenal!

I’m billing James Gunn for my therapy session after seeing his film. 💔

“Ugh Marvel’s fallen off-“ *Sees Guardians 3* “Oh my god it’s just a rehash of the better films, I can’t believe this!” Doug the absolute brainlet strikes again.

Sure seems the critics aren't fond of this one. But looking at the comment section in each of the last 3 reviews I've watched, screams that the fans loved it. I'm with the rest of the fans. It was great and I want more! It honestly felt a bit like a Rocket movie with the rest of the Guardians in it. I've been wanting to see more about Rocket since volume 1, I'm glad they gave it to us. I would like to see a Quill movie taking place after this one to see how Earth plays out for him, I think there's a lot that can be done with that. But, I also would insist on the rest of the ensemble showing up in the movie, and not just showing up at the end of the 3rd act to show us a "power of friends" moment. Beginning of the second act at the latest. I would love to see the rest of them interacting with Earth. Quill freaking out trying to keep them in line as they are all staying at his grandfathers house haha I just want more! You could give me a movie with Drax staring at a port-a-potty for 90 minutes and I would be satisfied with it haha

I like Doug admits when his opinion will likely be unpopular and that its just his personal viewpoint.

I'm shocked. I don't think I've ever disagreed with your review.

This review feels like Doug was not in the right state of mind watching it. Each argument brought up doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to me.

9:26 Doug did you forget how in the first one they took out like ALL those ships that were maki that yellow net around the bad guys ship? And then in 2 Kurt Russels blue blob thing definitely killed like easily a thousand people. So… no they don’t guard stuff well at all. 😂

Among other things, I found this movie very satisfying because it's my stepping off point for the MCU. I'm done. I'm free!😊
