Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is finally playing in theaters, so let us know what you thought of the finale to James Gunn’s trilogy.
It’s been a long road, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 has finally arrived in theaters. After James Gunn was fired from the project by Disney, it seemed as though the project might not happen, but the Guardians of the Galaxy cast came out in support of their director and Gunn was able to return to complete his trilogy. The film has gotten off to a good start at the box-office, taking in $17.5 million in Thursday night previews.
The latest installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise finds our beloved band of misfits settling into life on Knowhere. But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket’s life—a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them. James Gunn wrote and directed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, which which stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter, and Maria Bakalova
Our own Chris Bumbray admitted that he hasn’t enjoyed the last few MCU offerings, but he called Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 the best Marvel movie since Avengers: Endgame. “While not perfect, [Guardians 3] is still a very entertaining addition to the genre, working as a space opera independent of the MCU,” Bumbray wrote in his review. “It’s impressive they gave Gunn the leeway to do this, as even Wakanda Forever was saddled with a degree of Marvel world-building that felt tacked on to what was otherwise a solid stand-alone movie.” You can check out the rest of Bumbray’s review right here.
