Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the last movies in the MCU that I’m still invested in. The phase that MCU movies have had, I’m really exhausted with them and cannot stand their formulaic storytelling anymore. I have not seen Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania yet simply because of what is going on with the film. It is one of the worst Marvel films ever. In a span of six months Marvel has given us two “Rotten” films. However, my hopes with Guardians of Galaxy Vol. 3 are high. Today, the first reactions of the threequel are out. However, one has to remember that the first reactions and reviews of Quantumania were great as well because the same set of critics are invited to their premieres and of course they will laud the film. It is only after their official release, when the real reviews surface. Hopefully, James Gunn and largely every Guardians of the Galaxy member’s last film won’t follow the trajectory of other MCU films but let’s look at what the critics are saying anyways.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 First Reactions – A Strong Conclusion!
Ian Sandwell (Digital Spy)- “‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3’ is a brilliant end to a brilliant trilogy. It’s very funny, emotional and everybody gets their stand-out moment. Will Poulter’s Warlock is a terrific addition, yet the focus is rightly on telling a satisfying end for the Guardians. Gonna miss them.”
Alexander Kardelo (Movie Zine)- “‘[Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3’] is, more than ever, Star Wars as a stoner comedy. Lovable weirdos, big Marvel action and goofy jokes. But nothing can prepare you for all the emotions. Rocket Raccoon’s origin story is beautiful and heart-wrenching.”
Markas Trutt- “[‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3’] is probably the saddest & darkest MCU film & a wonderfully rounded conclusion to Gunn’s trilogy, where everyone in the fight against a mean (but rather shallow) villain gets their big moment again. Have tissues ready!”
Jesus Agudo- “I went with a preconceived idea to [‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3’] and James Gunn has managed to surprise me for good. It is darker and has even touches of terror, but it is still very funny and with a lot of personality. Rocket and Nebula excel in a very dignified send-off.”
Valentina Morillo (El Espanol)- ” [‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3’] has spectacular action set pieces, is fun, entertaining and emotional. It is a perfect and beautiful closure for its characters and the saga. And it’s the best Marvel movie since Endgame (and Top3 in general).”
Rory Cashin (JOE.ie)- “Can confirm that I shed a tear during [‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3’]. And that I would very happily watch an Adam Warlock solo movie. Full review (and interviews with the cast) coming very soon.”
@ForumiLily- “This movie… my heart is full and broken at the same time, it was a LOT to process, a very complex story but it left me feeling awesome “
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 will release this year on 5th May 2023. Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is currently available for streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar.
