I remember going to see Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014.

I had no clue what to expect, and did wonder how the space-faring sheenanigans would fit into the (then) relatively grounded MCU.

Groot stole to show.

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2, in 2017?

That belonged to Yondu "he may be your father, kid, but he certainly wasn't your daddy".

Both of those films largely revolved around Chris Pratt's Star-Lord and Zoe Saldana's Gamora.

Volume 3 - again helmed by James Gunn, after a period where he was in Disney's black book due to some old, now deleted, tweets - moves away from that (although it does form one of the sub-plots, following the events of Endgame), instead focusing more on Bradley Cooper's Rocket Raccoon, exploring his (somewhat harrowing) origins as a disposable experiment by the so-called High Evolutionary.

This, IMO, is quite possibly the best Marvel movie since "No Way Home".

Lots of action
Interesting story
The typical marvel formula (2 more)
Too many characters to develop each one
Boring villain
Are we finally feeling marvel fatigue?
I do feel this movie is very overrated. It was good sure but not as good as what people have made it out to be.

This could just be superhero fatigue. Or maybe it's just marvel fatigue because I'm still interesyed in what DC will offer. This just didn't feel very unique to me. Marvel seems to focus a lot on action, set pieces, CGI than its characters. The villain was boring and underdeveloped. It did have strong female characters, I'll give it that but was very underused. Black panther is well cast.

There were parts of this movie that felt very ironman and other parts that felt very James bond weirldy enough. There were times the CGI was distracting and when they tried to be too funny it didn't work. I'm talking about the car chase scene.

I knew nothing about black panther going in except was was in civil war and I'm not sure where they are going to go with the character.

I know I'm talking negatively but don't get me wrong the action was fun. The fight scenes were well choreographed, I live Martin Freeman in everything and it was interesting to see wakanda with all the technological advances. It's nots a bad movie, it was just overrated and just didn't live up to expectations. They falled flat in many areas.

Lee (2222 KP) Jul 19, 2018

This one was a really pleasant surprise for me. I wasn't sold on the trailer at all - it just looked far too busy and messy, whereas every other Marvel trailer tends to blow me away. I even waited a couple of weeks before seeing it at the cinema (which is NOT like me at all!). I actually really loved it though, and it's right up there as one of my favourite Marvel movies. But then, I seem to be one of the few people that was disappointed with Spider-Man: Homecoming, so my opinion does seem to differ from others! I feel you do make some valid points in your review though.

Can Talk To The Fish
Im not a huge fan of the DCU, i didnt like Man of Steel, Hated Batman vs. Superman, hated Sucide Squad, didnt like Wonder Woman. I havent seen Justice League. So expections for Aquaman was really low. Thats why i didnt see it when it came out and i didnt see it in 2019. So finally in 2020, i finally saw Aquaman and what did i think, it was okay. I really liked Patrick Wilson as the villian, you dont see him in to many villian roles. I actually think he was the best part of this whole film. Yes you heard that right, the best part of this whole film.

Too much GCI, the action was off at many points, the acting for the other cast was terrible/bad. I mean some of the CGI was good, the rest was terrible and Black Mantis was bad. James Wan should just really stick to horror. Cause he is excellent in that.

You can just skip this film overall.
