Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

One of the things that make Marvel movies so great is that their character development is so deep that you really take the characters to heart. Theaters around the world were filled with people crying at the end of Infinity War and cheering like mad when the portals opened in Endgame. And the Guardians are far from an exception to that, so some parts of the movie are a little hard to watch, but this is the best Marvel film since "Spiderman: No Way Home" including the new Fantastic Four. If you're a Guardians fan, you already own the film and know all of this. If you're looking at buying this and have NOT seen the other two Guardians' movies, BUY THEM AND WATCH THEM FIRST! And, if you possibly can, after the second movie, before you watch this one, watch the "Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special" because: 1. It will answer questions that you will have about the third movie if you don't, 2. it's a lot of fun with a number of inside jokes, (the Kevin Bacon gag lives on,) 3. got a couple of really good tunes, and 4. it's only around 30 minutes long.

Okay, folks, grab your emotional support raccoons and prepare for a cosmic hug that'll leave you sniffling into your space-popcorn. Guardians of the Galaxy 3? More like Guardians of the Feels-y Galaxy, am I right? I went in expecting a fun space romp, and I came out needing a group therapy session with a talking tree. First off, let's address the elephant in the room, or rather, the talking raccoon with a tragic backstory. Rocket's arc? I'm not crying, you're crying! Okay, maybe I'm crying a little. Or a lot. It's like they took all the adorable, sarcastic energy of Rocket and then punched you in the gut with his backstory. But in a good way! Like a warm, fuzzy, gut-punch of emotional growth. And the rest of the Guardians? They're basically a dysfunctional family who communicates through sarcasm, questionable dance moves, and the occasional heroic sacrifice. It's like watching a group of your weirdest, most lovable friends navigate the universe while trying to figure out if they should hug it out or blast something with a laser cannon. Groot? He's gone from "I am Groot" to "I am Groot, you beautiful, magnificent space-flower!" And honestly, I'm here for it. He's like that kid who suddenly hits a growth spurt and starts speaking in eloquent metaphors. It's both adorable and slightly terrifying. And the music? Don't even get me started. It's like a mixtape curated by a cosmic DJ who knows exactly how to make you dance, cry, and then dance while crying. It's a symphony of nostalgia, heartbreak, and pure, unadulterated joy. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a rollercoaster of emotions, a cosmic ballet of laughter and tears. It's a reminder that even the most dysfunctional families can find love, redemption, and the perfect dance move. And if that doesn't warm your heart, I don't know what will. Five stars, and a box of tissues. You'll need them.

Love this movie 🍿

Pretty good overall for the movie for the most part, worth adding to our digital library. Many of the funny/scenes seemed forced this time around. It could be it was just us, or they were just not funny. The music was not toe tapping or sing along for us at all like the previous movies, why they left out any of the signature music until the credits is beyond me. We did not go to the theater so we just saw it on our home theater,hence the later review just of the Bluray/digital but 130" with surround sound makes it really nice in the comfort of your home. Digital redeemed easily and played back flawlessly on VUDU. Not seeing much new of the focus character of the plot was a bummer if they are your favorite character. I was threatened with losing my review privileges so I will not go here, but during a trying few last years, a home theater was a God Send. And not having political societal crap thrown at you blatantly was refreshing. Spoiler alert: The plot was a good one just not executed well for us. I am nitpicking of course. But the nice Nebula does not play well in this movie for us. I will keep it short as I do not read long reviews but a friend really liked it and did not agree, so I just wanted to point that out. The relationship of 2 main characters was a total strain on the plot and viewing pleasure. I guess they needed conflict somewhere and they chose that route. It has been a couple weeks since watching it so I will not give a detailed review at this point. But I will say it was pretty non political (IF I CAN EVEN SAY THAT) I would advise EVERYONE to watch the credits to the end, there is some contradictory information that has been reported. It's in bold lettering.

Thanks James Gunn for a fantastic ending (for now?) to the Guardians. I really liked this movie and it's great to watch again and again. I loved all the cameos from the Guardians 1 & 2. It was also nice to also see a new team of Guardians at the end. Go Rocket!!

Wonderful Marvel movie
