So disappointed but not surprised. I went into this movie cautiously optimistic hoping Hollywood wouldn't make the same mistake it has on so many other great movie franchises. Unfortunately, my fears became a reality. Let me start by saying I adored volumes 1 and 2 of GOTG. To this day I can watch them over and over again without getting bored. Now, onto Volume 3 (sadly). I will keep this brief because I don't want to relive the utter failure of this third and final version. The plot was nonexistent, the costumes in many of the scenes looked like the Teletubbies overdosed on multi-colored THC gummies and then threw up all over the movie set. The animal experimentation and resultant Frankenstein-like creatures were cringe-evoking. It felt like I was an unwilling spectator at a carnival freak show. Even though this is sci-fi you can take even the absurd even too far. For instance, in the first 5 minutes of the movie, Groot is reduced to just a head, but miraculously in just a few hours, he has grown back to his normal self, ignoring how long it took him to recover from the last heroic effort in Volume 1. This is one of many inconsistencies that violate the rules established in the first two movies. It was predictable, shallow, and void of any creativity. Most of all the song selection was beyond awful. I guess they wanted a soundtrack that matched the theme of the movie. This was strictly a money grab looking to cash in on the reputation of the first two films in the series. Save your money and wait until it comes to network TV. In the words of Groot, " I am Groot", translated means "I am so embarrassed to be part of this film and you should stay home".

Let me start by saying I was a big fan of the first Wonder Woman movie and was looking forward to seeing WW84. To my disappointment WW84 failed in every possible aspect. The acting was awful and the script was far too long and lacked originality and imagination. I realize this is fantasy but there needs to be some concept of reality. Case in point the scene at the Air and Space Museum when they just hop in a fighter jet that happens to be fully fueled and operational is beyond embarrassing. I didn't realize that you could go from Washington D.C. to Egypt in a fighter jet without having to refuel at least a couple times along the way. Not to mention Chris Pine, a world war one pilot, was very familiar with 20th century fighter technology. To make it even cornier Wonder Woman uses her power to make the plane invisible. Get it, Wonder Woman and her invisible plane (yikes). This film is littered with crazy stuff like this that makes it beyond painful to watch. I thought the last Aquaman movie was the worst ever but I think this film edges it out for the worst movie I've seen in a very long time. If you were to tie me up with the lasso of truth I would say don't waste your time watching this movie. A word of advice to DC Comics, consult with Marvel before you do anymore movies.
