I know that there are plenty of critics that are going to pick this movie apart, but bottom line it is a phenomenal watch if you’ve been waiting for a classic marvel movie to release. Apart from Eternals, Ant Man Quantumania, and the new Thor this has the original feel of the true essence of what a Marvel movie should be.
GOTG 3 finds the perfect balance between emotional/comical/action ties. Throughout the entire movie you get a well rounded perspective of each and every character and it doesn’t feel like a chain movie. There isn’t that element of ripple down from the other TV shows or movies. You could go to this movie only seeing the other 2 guardians films and having a brief understanding of End Game and still have a great time. The movie has an appeal separate from the rest of the franchise.
James Gunn time and time again been able to direct fantastic Marvel movies and capture the true elements of the story. He has done the same with this movie and it is definitely worth seeing at your local movie theater.
