9/10
The best possible conclusion they could have ever had
5 May 2024
Nothing can truly describe how much I liked Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. I loved the first, have a love-hate view on the 2nd but 3 is just something else man. From it's tightly written plot to an emotional roller-coaster whilst fixing the problems the first 2 had

Gamora's character felt really awkward before in our central team so I'm really glad that her character got to shine. Speaking of which, our central gang all went through deep characterization and a perfect cap-off to their characters. I despised Drax in the 2nd film but he finally gets his rich character development we have been waiting for, Quill also improves from the pissed-off character from the last movie back to his understanding person in the 1st film. I really wanted Rocket to shine more and thankfully, he did

His seemingly upcoming death is nerve-racking aided to the wonderful flashback scenes. His backstory was only briefly mentioned in the previous film but this where Rocket was given a proper backstory. We feel bad for the poor guy, and the death of his friends are sad. This makes us have some emotional connection to Rocket. His frequent flashbacks are devastating and when he was miraculously revived, it lead to a very powerful scene that legit got me crying. When he wandered off to retreat the animals, it got me worrying for him and I didn't want to see him die. Also that one scene with Rocket's dead friends got me in tears as well

Besides from the super deep characterization of Rocket, Quill and Drax were also given great conclusions. Both of them were given some poor lines in the previous but the comedic lines in this film have such good comedic timing making nearly all of them land. Seriously, I was chuckling constantly. Drax had some charm in this and gets a satisfying conclusion with the children. Quill surprisingly wasn't chasing after Gamora and finally went back home as Mantis once said. And of course, Groot is still the best thing in the universe. I'm glad that this film focused more on old characters and didn't introduce too many characters and stories. But the ones they did definitely were up to the same level

The new characters were all just as special as our central cast like the dog. Even if she did not have much screen time, the time she was were all just heartwarming and charming.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was surprisingly a bit poetic with the writing at some parts. Like with the "You have to learn how to swim and and not jump on pads" thing. Of course, this was only possible due to the amazing writing it had

One thing to note is that this franchise finally has a decent villain. 1's villain was just dull and 2's was just stupid but finally we have a threatening villain. He deserves the title of a good villain because his actions are pure evil. The direct trauma he brought to Rocket, and the deaths he has caused makes for an actual decent villain this franchise badly needed.

As always amazing action to expect from a MCU film but one shocking thing was, there was a lot of murder. The first 2 did have a bunch of killing as well but it is just blatantly showed numerous times here.

Overall we have an emotionally powerful, wonderful, creative, action packed film that is the perfect conclusion to a great trilogy. Actually my favorite of the 3 because 3 just did everything perfectly and did nothing wrong

Rating: 9.8/10.
