Buckle up, people, because we’re again heading to the cosmos with the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3! Written and directed by James Gunn, this movie is a wild ride of emotions and action-packed scenes that will leave you laughing, crying, and possibly even puking (it’s that intense, folks).
If you’re a fan of the first two movies, then you’ll be happy to know that the gang’s all here, including the lovable but slightly crazy Star-Lord, the badass Gamora, the hilarious Drax, the smooth-talking Rocket, and the gentle giant Groot. But as with all good stories, there’s a catch: Gamora is not the same Gamora we all know and love, and the team must come to terms with this new dynamic.
The movie starts off on a somber note, with Rocket wandering around “Nowhere” and the team having to rally together to face new challenges. This time, the stakes are higher, and the villains are more vicious, especially the High Evolutionary, who makes Thanos look like a kindergartner with a magnifying glass.
But don’t worry, folks, this is still a funny movie, and the characters are just as lovable as ever. The humor is on point, and I laughed throughout the movie, even in the darkest moments. And speaking of dark moments, this movie emotionally goes to some pretty deep places. You’ll need to bring your tissues for this one, folks.
The action scenes are amazing, and the combination of practical effects, stunt work, and CGI is a sight to behold. One standout scene involves the entire team fighting off a lineup of aliens and creatures in a corridor. It’s a masterpiece of action and choreography that will leave you breathless.
However, a few things in the movie left me scratching my head. For one, there are too many characters, both on the villain and the hero sides, and it’s tough to keep track of them all. There’s also a new character, Adam Warlock, played by Will Poulter, who seems to pop in and out of the movie without much purpose or development.
And then there’s the High Evolutionary, who is a bit of a letdown as a villain. Sure, he’s evil and does some unspeakable things to weaker creatures, but he’s just not as interesting as Thanos. Maybe it’s because he lacks the gravitas of Josh Brolin’s performance or because he doesn’t have a cool glove. Either way, I found myself wishing for more from this villain.
Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a fun, funny, and emotional movie that will keep you entertained from start to finish. Is it as good as the first movie? No, but it’s still a solid addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Plus, it’s got a killer soundtrack, and who doesn’t love a good mixtape?
