Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - Movie Review 

I don't care what anyone says, High Evolutionary is one of the most disturbing MCU villains to date, yet you can't take your eyes off his scene-stealing acting. Makes me wish Christian Bale got the same respect in his Marvel film.

Nebula's growth and maturity since her and rocket survived the snap is amazing

Rocket's backstory was so extremely well made.

That hallway fight is one of the greatest scenes Ever in the MCU

The most offensive part is when Kraglin calls Cosmo a bad dog....the whole theater felt that. Solid movie! Rockets arc nearly made me cry. I just really wish they did a little more with Adam Warlock, I was extremely hyped to see him.

In their defense they did say Adam was awoken early and is still a baby pretty much

James Gunn made a talking dog more likeable than anything in antman

Vol. 3 is surpringly dark and very loaded emotionaly. Can't wait to watch it again.

This is how you end a trilogy it was phenomenal and had a lot of heart and heart tugs I was shocked by how amazing it was the script was on point and we finally got a awesome villain it's been a while I will definitely not hesitate to purchase it and watch it again in theaters 😊no sleep till Brooklyn!!

This movie not only tugged on my humanity strings but it heavily leaned on my love for animals…made this man in his 40s cry like 4 times haha

I was just rewatching the old mcu (iron man 1 and 2, thor, guardians of the galaxy 1) and I was thinking "man what happened? These films used to feel completely different. What happened to the mcu?" This new film impressed the hell out of me. The multiple close ups of rocket's eyes made me think of my dog whom I love and I was imagining him going through what rocket went through and it really emotionally suplexed me. Knowing damn well humans in real life do such horrendous things to animals and felt it was such a good theme to flesh out. Loved the film go out and see it fr.

I liked Adam Warlock, he was the on who got the whole plot of the movie going, they also perfectly explain that he was basically just born and trying to figure everything out on the fly. Kinda like Vision in Age of Ultron.

Alex giving this an 8 is all you need to know. Such an awesome movie.

Adam Warlock reminded me of FAT Buu in Dragonball Z.....was awaken early and ended up like a baby...strong but immature🤣

8/10 -2 points for starlord not ever putting on the mask

I almost shed a tear, it is a must see tho, probably my favorite out of the series.

That hallway action scene was chef’s kiss🤌🏽

This was a solid movie. Definitely pulled my heartstrings.

I actually think this is the BEST guardians film

I feel a little relieved that James Gunn made this better than Ant Man and look forward to seeing what he does for DC now

This film is mostly about avenging more so than revenging . I like how Drax in a meta way called attention to the subversion of expectations when they landed on counter earth . "They are going to think we are on a plot for revenge" . How they inadvertently avenged Rocket when they just wanted to save him without killing anyone . Epic

The hallways fight was AMAZING. My expectations were really low for this movie and it definitely surprised me. Great choice to focus on rocket’s story.

Just came back from watching the movie. It was a perfect goodbye. 10/10.

Going off of what Joe said about this gives him hope for Superman, I had the exact thought seeing Adam Warlock flying, that go-pro camera angle is so sick and I just pictured Superman with an arm out flying and I know it’s going to be glorious I can’t wait!

I'm a big Adam Warlock fan and I loved this version of him in the film! He's different than what most know him for in the comics but I thought this was a clever introduction to him. In the comics he has a sorta naivety towards events going on because he's so powerful. He doesn't connect well socially with others in the comic also. It's something he grows into. I thought it was a refreshing twist on the character. He's different than the comic but also a lot more similar than people give this version credit for.

High evolutionary was incredible. Menacing and terrifying

I thought it was pretty good!!! Marvel is going to miss James Gunn hopefully he can do good at DC

Way better villain than Kang

I watched this in 4dx yesterday. I guarantee that the spinny camera effects have been added for that experience. The panning shots and spinning are really effective when your chair moves with it. However, my back is still recovering from the hallway fight.

I loved it, it’s now my favorite Guardians film.

I cried more than I think I ever have before at a movie during *that* scene. And it didnt matter that I saw it coming a mile away. It was still so painful.

The overall theme of this movie hit me hard. I’m going through a similar stage of my life where friends I consider family are starting to go there separate ways. Building their own families. Moving away. Kinda feel like I’m being left behind. I cried thru the credits and the car ride home.

Does alex like alex ?

After seeing the aesthetics of this film and what he did with orgocorp/the hellspawn, i'm actually quite intrigued to see Gunns take on Krypton

I loved GotG 1 and 2... 3 didn't do anything for me. I was kind of disappointed.

Alex saying this was worse than GOTG 2 is complete hogwash 😂😂😂

This is way better than #2 but to each their own. I loved it.

Absolutely loved this movie. 10 out of 10 for me. Great tying up of characters' storylines akin to Endgame, and so much heart. Love it.

I actually liked this one more than the 2nd film. The emotion was insane, Bradley Cooper killed it.

Dont worry joe once superman legacy comes out you wont have to pretend man of steel was good anymore

It was good - Marvel actually did good, tons of subtle nods, good coverage of Rockets backstory and it still kept a lot of the human whilst adding more heart. Finally a good marvel movie in the last year

Watched it last night, it was EPIC! The crowd cheered several times. And EVERYONE was crying.

I think Mantis was the best point of the film, she made every scene with her an absolute joy.

Alex was thinking about 7/10? You guys remember when they gave she hulk 7/10 score? They rating is irrelevant 😂😂😂

alex is like that year 2000 yelp reviewer who needs to make sure he has something bad to say.

Guardians 2 is my favorite MCU film of them all. Seriously go rewatch it.

Alex is never happy with anything.

Saw it on IMAX it was awesome and emotional movie and last goodbye to the Guardians

Did the MCU redeem itself? Not really. Did they make a good movie? Yes.

Alex is that guy at the party that always has something bad to say. Boo Alex, Boo I say.

no cringe scenes or terrible characters like in ant man 3. I think this movie is one of the best from the mcu. i cried, i laughed, i loved the soundtrack.

Whether happy with a movie or not, Alex always has the “I don’t tolerate bullshit.” look about him. I love it! Looking forward to seeing this one.

I loved GOTG3, but I'll have to watch it one more time before deciding where I rank it alongside the first two movies. However, I'm glad Alex mentioned the excessive spinning cameras. There were a few times when it made me feel nausic.

IMO, GotG is the only MCU trilogy that's 3 out of 3 excellent. Every other trilogy has at least one swing and a miss. I love the elevator scene where Quill has his big venting session that also seems to double as Gunn's venting session. Quill and Gamora end up in a place that feels right. A great way to end things on top. I was never really a fan of the GotG characters before, but these 3 films are the most entertaining and rewatchable of all the MCU films, IMO. It would be hard to argue that these films would have been better under anybody else. Gives me a great deal of hope for the DC franchise, while at the same time it feels like the time for Marvel's decline has come...

In my mind this was at least as good as 2, but for some different reasons. Both are certainly more flawed than the first film imo but man they hold up with incredible character development so damn well

Warlock is way too late to be introduced as he was integral to Infinity War story. He didn't have much to do but at least he has been introduced and next time we see him, he will be ready to rock and he has a back story now. But The Sentry is coming in Thunderbolts and he is almost the same charcter.

That fight scene after Rocket said I’m done fighting had me smiling in joy n shi😭

After watching the film Alex's take makes more sense. The film is pure spectacle & vibes. Very little logic. It's my favorite film of 2023 now, but this film is infected up the bum with the "Rule of Cool" to where characters never die in places where they totally should've died.

I love it when action scenes do one long shot with multiple characters fighting. When I saw that scene I thought yeah, people are gonna be talking about this for a while.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is for me a 5/10 rating at best. The best part is where Rocket's backstory comes into play. The rest, including the villain, is dull. Smile a little Yes, but none of the jokes were good. No bombastic finale.

Missed phase 4 as a whole but decided to get up to date near when this movie was releasing. Worth it

I haven’t seen a marvel movie this good in a long time! I am so so so so proud!

GOTG is officially tied with Captain America for best MCU trilogy imo.

This being his final film I'm the mcu would be so poetic.

I'd give it a 6,maybe a 7/10. It's a good movie but MCU has seen a lot better. We've seen it all before. The same superhero space adventure formula we're being fed for years. A tragic backstory we've all seen done better... a stereotypical noisy group banter and lots of typical mcu jokes that ruin the tone... boring one trick villain who's there to scream at heroes throughout the big CGI climax battle... cmon guys, we really did go through this so many times. 9/10? Really? What have you rated actually good movies like Winter Soldier or Iron man or Infinity War? On this scale it'd be likr 15/10 or sonething... smh

Why am I not surprised that Alex didn’t enjoy the film as much as the others?

Rocket’s backstory was just excellent. What they did with High Evolutionary was different. He’s usually portrayed as SUPER serious…I actually liked him and was disturbed by this version of High Evolutionary. I would like to see more of High Evolutionary where he evolves even more into a cyborg and even more evil and powerful.

Watching this movie tomorrow, so excited :-)

I loved this film. I think the 1st place they went, and the 2nd place they went were amazing in each location by themselves. I feel like the first location was unnecessary though. Felt very side quest like. I don’t think all the songs landed and a repeat of the good dog joke reminded me of the screaming goats from love and thunder. Wayyy better than the goats bc I actually laughed but still, don’t repeat the same joke 4 times. I think it was entertaining the whole time, and I laughed quite a lot! However not as good as the first and definitely not as good as the 2nd which is the best in my opinion. Overall great film. Best since endgame and I think Disney is really screwing themselves by letting James Gunn go.

I thought this movie was a mess. Tonally and narratively all over the place with as much screaming and animal cruelty as you can bear. James Gunn is a talented director and storyteller, but he concludes his band of misfits’ final chapter with an onslaught of low brow juvenile humor and wedged in classic pop culture songs to try and reach its mixed messaged finish line.

the hallway fight scene was so fucking badass.

Buck from Halo ODST is in it 😊

The Adam Warlock scenes simply felt like James Gunn Practicing for Superman and I was all for it.

It did feel long to me at some points, but the story of Rocket was excellent. It was heartbreaking, hilarious at much needed moments, and heartwarming at the same time.

Budget management at it's best. Thanks for the review 🎉

The movie was terrible in my opinion ❤

I swear the theaters must have drugged the viewers. This was a terrible movie

When the Joes were so positive in their intros I just knew Alex was gonna put a downer on it. Every time! Lol

Alex can sometimes be a buzzkill.

Alex is being his usual self😄

I loved this movie Once again Alex overly critical Amazing Film

it was OKAY. lots of bitching at each other, hard to think they are friends. Not funny bitching. :/ eh.

I decided a while ago that I was pretty much done following the MCU as it just wasn't interesting me much anymore, but I'm 100% seeing this in theaters, the Guardians were my favorite part of it. I love these characters and can't wait to see how their story ends

Good call splitting the video into regular and spoilers

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was a PHENOMENAL film. The story, The Villain, The Action Sequences, The Emotions…. 10/10! I am very sad to see this iteration of the team go. Each character was done justice & had a proper sendoff ❤

I took my ten-year-old to see this movie, I was crying but she had to be held. There's some really emotional stuff! If you want to be able to tell who's seen this movie, just say "Rocket Teefs Floor go now!" in a crowded area and see who reaches for a tissue.

Joe: Alright I’ve said my piece, take it away guys! Other Joe: Well I think it was a gre.. Joe: Bu but but anyway let me finish that for you! --

Should be called The Angry Alex show.

Against the grain here - I thought it was OK, but maybe 7/10. Rocket's story is great, but there's a lot of other things going on that didn't get to breathe e.g. not enough time for the Gamora/Quill stuff, not enough time for Adam Warlock stuff (which I am sad about bc Will Poulter's Adam is great I love him lol), etc. That and a lot of the writing did not sit well with me, like the 'marvel humor' scenes that would go on too long e.g. Mantis vs Nebula in the spanish bat woman's house, and basically any time Mantis/Drax/+1 other Guardian start arguing and just have a shouting match because funny. Also lots of character/plot decisions that didn't make sense tbh, like why take a car instead of a spaceship at a certain scene. Alex is right with it being a mess, but still enjoyable!

Just came back from the movie and I didn't like it that much. The story was lost behind the will to cramp as much known songs as possible inside this movie and humor that didn't land as it should. A weak ending to a good franchise filled with CGI and music that makes it entertaining, but very chaotic.

Nathan Fillion being in this was out of left field and was absolutely hilarious. Loved his character in this movie. I actually really loved this movie. It was utterly fantastic. And yes Rocket's animal friends part i knew was going to hurt so damn bad. Lilah and Floor were awesome.

I don't need to watch this. The thumbnail tells us everything we need to know. The usual Angry Joe smiling and OJ copying Alex sitting there frowning because they don't like anything at all.

Great movie! So much fun! Does anyone know when was the last time Alex liked something?

No I’m not excited for James DC or his Superman movie at all.🤷🏽‍♂️

I miss the AJS when Alex didn’t shit on everything I like 😒

Does Alex enjoy anything? Seriously? He nitpicks everything.

This movie was the Temple of Doom of the Guardians Franchise. Dark and full of messed up stuff. They even took the ending with the slave children. 😂 Nothing wrong with a dark film. It was a good change of pace for Marvel. Still plenty of funny moments and wacky ideas you’d expect from these films. The villain is definitely one of the best in the MCU. Pure Evil with a God Complex. Even a daughter of Thanos admitted the High Evolutionary was worse then her father.

Alex is right, the biggest issue I had was the Music, it just didn't fit well in several scenes.

Just watched the movie, such a good movie. A really good solid trilogy. I’m so happy it stuck the landing not only as a movie but a trilogy in general. Just sooo good

10/10 movie, it’s up there with no way home and endgame. It’s a top 5 mcu movie imo
