Now an interesting point would’ve been if they asked how come Rocket still doesn’t know that he’s a Raccoon after all that time on earth. He must’ve been getting called them even more than normal. Would that not spark some curiosity
I noticed that GotG1 is 70s. 2 is 80s and this opens with Creep. 90s af. In 3 movies James Gunn made a classic rock station 😂 Also notice at the end he switches the zune to the category of 2000s
@@Kagiso22 im pretty sure he denies being a racoon because of his traumatic upbringing as a way to deny his past not because he doesn’t know that’s just how I interpreted it tho
As soon as they dropped Florence and The Machine "Dog Days are Over" the water works started and I couldn't stop crying. I thought the playlist was great, on par with the first film. Love the callback to "Come and Get Your Love".
Man...that scene with Rocket and Lylla dying in his arms. That sorrow transforming into unbridled rage and mauling the High Evolutionary had me on the verge of tears. Bravo to James Gunn for providing such heart. Full Price in my book.
To see Rocket, who was mainly peaceful before that scene turn into such rage was jarring, but yes very well done and it made perfect sense in the context. And to see the HE true face at the end 😱 Rocket didn’t just make a few scratches on his face, he freaking mauled it
@@RYMAN1321 Just saw Vol. 2 again. And was reminded of Rocket's dialogiue at the end, surmised with "not pushing people away." Ended with a shot on him and a single tear rolling down his face. Amazing how much of that scnene threads into Vol. 3.
If James Gunn could make you fell emotion from a Racoon , A Sentient Tree , Giant Shark , Rat , An Intergalactic Starfish and a Eagle I can't wait for the feels for Superman.
It would be great if they could play up the loneliness well. I would LOVE to see him as the type who hides his tears and sadness from being the last of his kind through a smile.
I was really sad thinking about a whole world of people dying. They were minding their business and living their lives and their world explodes. That nice bat women who helped them is just gone.
Ikr. That whole family who was sweet enough to house them and help them despite them being strangers was murdered along side the whole planet. Very sad.
The first Guardians came out at a time when I was going through a period of severe depression. I'd been ousted from my only social circle, I was feeling alone and unwanted, I'd gained weight... It was an all-around bad time for me. Then I saw Guardians in the theatre, and I laughed - I mean *really* laughed -for the first time in months. It helped me realize that yes: I can still be happy; I'm going to be okay. Now, nine years later I'm in a similar social situation to where I was in 2014, I'm once again struggling with my weight...but I'm also at a new juncture in my life, starting a new job and making plans to go back to school and pursue a new career. It's scary, and it's so very exciting. This series has seen me through so much, and I'm sorry to see it end.
This is my favorite of the trilogy. You hated the villain in the right way. You really do get to understand rocket raccoon. I love how it handles moving on doesn't always mean saying goodbye sometime it means see you later
Agreed By the ending scene, even though there was a sense of finality it also felt like the door was left open for other adventures from characters at the same time
Quill got a Zune at the end of Vol. 2, a present from Yondu, it was likely preloaded with more songs including music from the later decades. And to Martin's comment about finally playing music from black artists, the first Guardians soundtrack had Five Stairsteps, Marvin Gaye and Tammy Tyrell while Vol. 2 had Parliament, and it was Infinity War where they played Rubber Band Man.
Yeah they dont show it. They have a scene where the characters are seeing it but cuts away for the audience. And also you can see the results of it on Rocket's body and experiment Companions in the movie.
The team being a family that genuinely gets on each other's nerves? I like that. With a lot of folks, when you're close to someone, you feel freer to call them out than you would a co-worker or your boss.
Martin made a comment about them not using black music, but forgot that in Vol 1 they used “Ooh Child”, “Aint no Mountain High Enough”, and “I want you back” back to back during the first movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy is probably my favorite series of the Marvel cinematic universe. How Gunn managed to take heroes that barely anyone knew, become one of the best things to hit the movies, is so good. I'm scared to watch Vol. 3 because I really loved these characters since the 1st movie, and I'm not ready for the hardships coming, but at the same time, I'm excited to see these heroes in action once again.
@@hari3556 Captain America somewhat cheated though by bringing in other Avengers to make it succeed and be successful.Guardians just stuck to their characters and individual stories
@@keldorthebluemack I wouldn't say so. Other characters were there in civil war, but we mainly witnessed the character of Captain America and his conflict. Granted, Iron Man had some significance but without Captain America, they lose their entire meaning.

“Well, you hate anybody who yells all the goddamn time” So does that mean Korey hated himself whenever he’d scream and yell over a Freidberg and Seltzer or Marlon Wayans movie years ago?
I think the biggest thing about the comedy here is that everyone is having to use it as some sort of coping mechanism. Theres so much behind each of the Guardians that if they can't laugh or roast each other they'll all lose their damn minds
If I recall correctly, Warlock was an immature character who grew up to become the more stoic character people know today. If the MCU is following that character arc for him, him being kind of a dumb teenager could work in the long run, kind of how Chris Evans' true-blue Captain America from the First Avenger got more relaxed and relatable.
True, there are a couple iterations of warlock where he starts off as childlike and grows into his more wise and stoic persona as he gains new experiences.
If you need help remembering why Peter is so bent out of shape, rewatch Infinity War, the Knowhere scene, and listen to Gamora's last words to Peter...💔
Having been hooked up to tubes, wires, and an oxygen mask myself after two major abdominal surgeries the scenes of Rocket in distress on the medical table hit extra close to home for me. Brought back memories. But it made me appreciate the film more, my favorite one of the three by far. And a fantastic ending.
the reason why the guardians have newer generation music playing is because Kraglin gifted a new device called 'Zune' to Peter Quill at the end of the second movie because Ego broke Peters walkman. Since then Peter found new music
Peter's Walkman was destroyed by Ego in Vol 2. Kraglin gave Peter a Zune that Yondu had picked up for Peter to have. This is why he had music from modern era like the 2000s.
James Gunn just raised the standard of friendship for a whole generation. Gen Alpha is so lucky to have the guardians as their childhood. I grew up with James's Scooby Doo gang movies but they ain't no Rocket, Groot and Peter.
The first Guardians was the first MCU movie I saw in theaters back in 2014 and it made me a fan of the franchise and I’m actually in the camp who actually likes Vol 2 more. The Guardians, out of all the heroes in the MCU, are the ones I connect to the most being an outcast, hell even help develop my taste in music. And Rocket’s my favorite MCU character, so I already know this is gonna get me in the feels. I’m just so thankful to hear this movie is getting good word of mouth from majority of reviewers, because not only is this movie my most anticipated of the year but Marvel (and the superhero genre right now anyway) needed this. After Phase 4 was hit or miss and the disappointing aftermath of Quantumania, they needed a win. Hopefully this movie brings back that magic that has been missing in some of the recent films (Wakanda Forever, and I would even argue No Way Home and Shang Chi being the exceptions). I know people are gonna say, “MARVEL’S BACK!” because of this movie, but I would wait to see if the other entries coming out afterwards are consistently good, or at least hoping they are. I want Marvel to succeed and I’m not gonna give up on them, but I also want them to do better in the future, and hopefully if the movie is a success, they can take lessons from it. We need more directors like James Gunn and Ryan Coogler who actually bring a level of depth and passion to these movies. If you want people to stop saying “superhero fatigue”, then just put out better quality, because audiences have a higher standard on how good these movies can be and they ain’t gonna accept mediocrity or even if it’s fine. Started off rough with Quantumania and Shazam 2, but if Spiderverse, The Flash (If it’s as good as the early buzz say), and hopefully Blue Beetle & The Marvels are good, might have a pretty solid year for superhero movies.
In the specific case of Marvel, what they need with their movies is consistency. Because yeah by and large they've been hit or miss. The examples you provided with Wakanda Forever, No Way Home, and Shang Chi being exceptions, by and large are good examples of what Marvel can still pull off, but they're broken up by "lesser" entries like a Black Widow, Love & Thunder, and Quantumania. Like for every strong entry, there's a "mid" one. The people (fans) definitely want a RUN of back-to-back bangers that we got in Phase 3, as opposed to the hit-or-miss that were the first two phases. Definitely looking forward to Guardians 3 this week. Given that this kinda humor was never Korey's thing to begin with, I wasn't expecting him to like it as much. But hearing Martin & Julian's takes sound more my speed. We shall see...
@@thedefinitionisthis I mean he still liked it tho and seems like he did get some laughs out of it, same can’t be said for Ant Man and Thor based on his reviews. I know there’s some people (even some I’ve seen in the comment section) who said that after this, with the exception of a few entries, are done with the MCU. Which is fine, I get maybe they don’t like where the direction is heading or they just aren’t latched onto these new characters like they did with the ones in the Infinity Saga, but like I said for all of Phase 4’s faults and disappointments, it’s still had it’s bright spots that show that there’s still life left in Marvel, I just hope going forward we get better results. Pretend this was just a dark period for the MCU.
@@gcolbyp I'm considering this the "experimental period" of Marvel. They really took to heart the criticisms that the Infinity Saga (as engaging as it was), through their individual movies all felt relatively the same. Phase 4 definitely attempted to take some real creative swings and let their creators have more fun, so I give them that. However, they do still need to steer the course a bit better and really nail down how to land these newer styles of storytelling, so that they're actually good. We've seen glimpses of it being possible, but we haven't seen stretches of it, by and large. I also still feel that fans need to be a biiiit more patient, as it took us ten years to get to Infinity War/Endgame.... We're still at the building stages again.
This movie was great. I loved it. I honestly think it was better than the last two. The stakes were high, it was funny, it was sad, it was great. I couldn’t believe how many times my expectations were subverted.
I thought the high evolutionary was one of the best villains . I understood his motives and downfall. I especially loved the part how Rocket could solve the problem even though he had created him. Brilliant!!
This get's me so hyped for James Gunn's Superman movie....He understands the importance of character development/ having a good story and dosen't have to simply reply on flashy visuals.
That’s what I said but I just hope he doesn’t overload the humor . I don’t mind humor especially Gunns type of humor but I just hope he doesn’t over do it that ruins the movie .
I loved the movie ! I had no issue with the joking because it came in handy to keep me from balling THE ENTIRE MOVIE! Bravo Marvel you didn’t make this into a work agenda ! 😊
Starlord got a Zune at the end of Vol. 2 after Ego destroyed his Walkman. 3's soundtrack was either already on there or it's implied he downloaded it at some point.
The Guardians are the counterpart of the anime Onepiece. That's why I loved them. If you are an anime viewer, Phase 4 and 5 will have more light hearted and throwing jokes. the season ender will break your heart. It's a great story telling.
Having watched Spider-Man Unlimited in the 90s, I never in a million years thought I'd see the High Evolutionary and Counter-Earth in a mainstream Hollywood movie. Damn.
I really loved this movie. The first one was pretty much my exact childhood dream of what growing up in space would be like. The second was forgettable, but this film was heart wrenching. Other than Spiderman and XMen (because I've been a life long fan), I think Guardians has secured one of my top spots for super heroes. I should start reading the comics. Mantis is up there with Storm and Jean Grey for me, in terms of my favorite/inspiring women heroes. I hope she gets a solo D+ special and they bring Draxx back but I know Batista doesn't want to play the character for a while.
Martin is correct in the sense that there was a visual key that if you missed in part 2 you wouldn't have known, if you haven't seen the Christmas special the scene is at the end of the special. If there is dialogue referring to that scene, then it may be confusing you could probably look it up online. It's literally a 4- or 5-minute scene won't take long.
8:43 YOU ALL WANTED DARK, SERIOUS SHIT in Marvel movies. This is what Marvel COMICS are about: Conquest, Violence, Pain, Emotions ALONG with the funny, wild shit.
Possibly my favorite Guardians movie of the trilogy and I've loved all of them. One might be the best overall, but two still has the best villain. This one is definitely the darkest.
Same out of all of the movies in the trilogy,this is the best one and one of the few movies I consider perfect especially in the MCU. It's still the guardians of the galaxy but you still can see how much this movie and everything else really matured since the first one. I like antman 3 but this is what this movie should have been especially love and thunder. But such a great movie and loved it from start to finish
No spoilers but I really enjoyed this movie, the ending was really amazing, I laughed, I cried & I had fun, but it is one of those movies that's really good but you can watch every once in a while
The moment I saw cute and innocent friendly animals in a James Gunn production. I was just waiting for the moment when it turned into Happy Tree Friends.
Introducing Adam Warlock after Thanos is dead is like making a Black Adam movie with no mention of Shazam/Billy Batson. I have faith that Gunn can pull it off but its a missed opportunity.
Good thing the majority of the movie going audience aren't comic book readers because the complaints will be minimal when it comes to the Adam & Thanos connection.
I’ll be one of a couple of ppl who will say at the end of GotG2, one of the ravagers gave Starlord a Zune with several thousand songs on it. Thats how he got all the new songs. Probably got newer ones before he left earth with Thor as well.
The discussion of the detail on Rocket's face reminds me of the Guardians of the Galaxy video game from a couple years ago. Really good work on him there too. I still recommend that game for the story and the Guardians' well-done characterizations.
No Black Music in the Guardians movies, Martin? Really lol? Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terell? Sam Cooke? Jackson 5? The Five Stairsteps? Parliament? I could go on...
Adam Warlock feels like Drax 2.0. not a "Bad" character, and they use him well in the movie. but he feels so much like a missed opportunity compared to all the great and big stories they could have adapted for him from the comics.
Jusr saw Vol. 2 again. And was reminded of Rocket's dialogiue at the end, surmised with "not pushing people away." Ended with a shot on him and a single tear rolling down his face. AmaIng how much of that scnene threads into Vol. 3.
Peter Quill got his Walkman broken by his father, and later got a Zune from Sean Gunn's Character in the second one. Presumably 90s and 2000s hit would be on there
It was shown in GOTG Vol. 2 that Starlord got a Zune from Yondu that had a mixture of music from different decades on it. You guys need to pay attention. The music is not an issue
They played the song "Reasons" because Groot was about to penetrate the base made of organic material that kind of looked like a you-know-what,and they thought that it would be clever to play a love making song. But you are right, it did not fit.
I LOVED the first 2 Guardians of the galaxy movies. I used to even think that the second was a 10/10 and that the first was a 9/10, but after a few rewatches, I think the first is a 10/10 and the second is a 9/10. But this new one? Uh... well... My big problem is that the flash-backs to Rocket Raccoon's origin story was way too dark. Like, seriously, way too dark. It flet like a horror movie or a really dark dramatic oscar-bait movie dark.(Also, some of the creatures the villain made were too scary and ugly looking.) Some people will like that, but, while I'm okay with a movie having a few sad scenes, but I hate it when we have lots of them and this felt like a lot. Also, I usually hate scary scenes, which is why I hate horror. We get it, Rocket Raccoon's childhood was a living hell, can we PLEASE get back to the funny characters!? (Also, some of the visuals were just gross.) But the funny characters? Oh yeah, they're still funny, maybe even hilairious! People in my theatre/cinema laughed at a lot of the jokes, especially my dad, and even I laughed quite a few times. In particular, I thought Mantis, Drax and Nebula. In fact, I would say Nebula was the best she had ever been as a character in this movie! She's cold on the outside, but genuinely cares for some of her teammates, in particular Rocket Raccoon. Also, the ending was nice, (even if they did do something I'm kinda against) because it was an emotional conclusion to the series. Would I rewatch it? Well, maybe when it comes out for free with my Disney+ subscription. All in all, it was "a mixed bag", as the saying goes. Oh wanna know what the thing they did that I was against? Okay, SPOILER WARNING: The Guardians of the Galaxy split up. I was against that because I enjoy them being together and them splitting up was a bit of a sad idea to me.
Hey everyone, I just finally re-watched this movie on Disney+ and I liked it quite a bit more. I'd say it's now a 7/10 or a 8/10. The dark stuff was less dark this time around.
Samuel L. Jackson must really hate Chris Pratt for being the first actor in history to say F*&^ in the MCU.

I’m just so thankful to hear this movie is getting good word of mouth from majority of reviewers, because not only is this movie my most anticipated of the year but Marvel (and the superhero genre right now anyway) needed this. After Phase 4 was hit or miss and the disappointing aftermath of Quantumania, they needed a win. Hopefully this movie brings back that magic that has been missing in some of the recent films (Wakanda Forever, and I would even argue No Way Home and Shang Chi being the exceptions). I know people are gonna say, “MARVEL’S BACK!” because of this movie, but I would wait to see if the other entries coming out afterwards are consistently good, or at least hoping they are. I want Marvel to succeed and I’m not gonna give up on them, but I also want them to do better in the future, and hopefully if the movie is a success, they can take lessons from it. We need more directors like James Gunn and Ryan Coogler who actually bring a level of depth and passion to these movies. If you want people to stop saying “superhero fatigue”, then just put out better quality, because audiences have a higher standard on how good these movies can be and they ain’t gonna accept mediocrity or even if it’s fine. Started off rough with Quantumania and Shazam 2, but if Spiderverse, The Flash (If it’s as good as the early buzz say), and hopefully Blue Beetle & The Marvels are good, might have a pretty solid year for superhero movies.
In the specific case of Marvel, what they need with their movies is consistency. Because yeah by and large they've been hit or miss. The examples you provided with Wakanda Forever, No Way Home, and Shang Chi being exceptions, by and large are good examples of what Marvel can still pull off, but they're broken up by "lesser" entries like a Black Widow, Love & Thunder, and Quantumania. Like for every strong entry, there's a "mid" one. The people (fans) definitely want a RUN of back-to-back bangers that we got in Phase 3, as opposed to the hit-or-miss that were the first two phases. Definitely looking forward to Guardians 3 this week. Given that this kinda humor was never Korey's thing to begin with, I wasn't expecting him to like it as much. But hearing Martin & Julian's takes sound more my speed. We shall see...
@@thedefinitionisthis I mean he still liked it tho and seems like he did get some laughs out of it, same can’t be said for Ant Man and Thor based on his reviews.
I know there’s some people (even some I’ve seen in the comment section) who said that after this, with the exception of a few entries, are done with the MCU. Which is fine, I get maybe they don’t like where the direction is heading or they just aren’t latched onto these new characters like they did with the ones in the Infinity Saga, but like I said for all of Phase 4’s faults and disappointments, it’s still had it’s bright spots that show that there’s still life left in Marvel, I just hope going forward we get better results. Pretend this was just a dark period for the MCU.
@@gcolbyp I'm considering this the "experimental period" of Marvel. They really took to heart the criticisms that the Infinity Saga (as engaging as it was), through their individual movies all felt relatively the same. Phase 4 definitely attempted to take some real creative swings and let their creators have more fun, so I give them that. However, they do still need to steer the course a bit better and really nail down how to land these newer styles of storytelling, so that they're actually good. We've seen glimpses of it being possible, but we haven't seen stretches of it, by and large. I also still feel that fans need to be a biiiit more patient, as it took us ten years to get to Infinity War/Endgame.... We're still at the building stages again.
Nah Samuel L is probably happy not to be type casted.
@@Byronic19134 Wrong comment my man 😂
This movie was great. I loved it. I honestly think it was better than the last two. The stakes were high, it was funny, it was sad, it was great. I couldn’t believe how many times my expectations were subverted.
When Gamora asked what kinda man destroys a civilization, im thinking 2 myself well your Father is Thanos
That whole skin ship had me like 🤢 but it was fascinating to look at. I like the Beastie Boys cut they were playing during the big fight seen
Man Korey's rating broke my heart. Now watch them make a Howard the Duck movie for the MCU and Korey gives it a rental.
I thought the high evolutionary was one of the best villains . I understood his motives and downfall. I especially loved the part how Rocket could solve the problem even though he had created him. Brilliant!!
This get's me so hyped for James Gunn's Superman movie....He understands the importance of character development/ having a good story and dosen't have to simply reply on flashy visuals.
That’s what I said but I just hope he doesn’t overload the humor . I don’t mind humor especially Gunns type of humor but I just hope he doesn’t over do it that ruins the movie .
Just saw the movie. It was good and a proper ending to Gunn's trilogy. I did get emotional in certain scenes.
Martin on the money again. Great description with the experimentation in the animals. "Its like something Sid would do in Toy Story."
No one does dark humor quite like James Gunn, lets gooooo!
I loved the movie ! I had no issue with the joking because it came in handy to keep me from balling THE ENTIRE MOVIE! Bravo Marvel you didn’t make this into a work agenda ! 😊
I prefer how the Guardians video game handled Warlock. The team don't really take him seriously but he's still more true to his original character.
Starlord got a Zune at the end of Vol. 2 after Ego destroyed his Walkman. 3's soundtrack was either already on there or it's implied he downloaded it at some point.
I always love the villains in marvel movies, High Evolutionary sounds like a crazy good villain
He is the asshxle of all asshxles in this movie.
IMO high Evolutionary is a better villain than Kang

The Guardians are the counterpart of the anime Onepiece. That's why I loved them. If you are an anime viewer, Phase 4 and 5 will have more light hearted and throwing jokes. the season ender will break your heart. It's a great story telling.
Having watched Spider-Man Unlimited in the 90s, I never in a million years thought I'd see the High Evolutionary and Counter-Earth in a mainstream Hollywood movie. Damn.
did y'all not realize he got the Zune from Kraglin in GOTG2?!?!? jesus christ
22:33 It was the christmas special that revealed two guardians blood ties to one another.
At the end of Vol. 2, Kraglin gave Quill a Zune. That's how the music is more recent in this one.
I really loved this movie. The first one was pretty much my exact childhood dream of what growing up in space would be like. The second was forgettable, but this film was heart wrenching. Other than Spiderman and XMen (because I've been a life long fan), I think Guardians has secured one of my top spots for super heroes. I should start reading the comics. Mantis is up there with Storm and Jean Grey for me, in terms of my favorite/inspiring women heroes. I hope she gets a solo D+ special and they bring Draxx back but I know Batista doesn't want to play the character for a while.
its funny during the chat everyone was telling them Peter got a Zune at the end of vol 2 but they never looked at the chat
I always thought Drax and Mantis had kind of a romantic relationship but sadly never developed
Interesting, I had always thought of them as siblings.
Martin is correct in the sense that there was a visual key that if you missed in part 2 you wouldn't have known, if you haven't seen the Christmas special the scene is at the end of the special. If there is dialogue referring to that scene, then it may be confusing you could probably look it up online. It's literally a 4- or 5-minute scene won't take long.
8:43 YOU ALL WANTED DARK, SERIOUS SHIT in Marvel movies. This is what Marvel COMICS are about: Conquest, Violence, Pain, Emotions ALONG with the funny, wild shit.
Kinda feels like the end of the MCU with this one.
Who knows it might be the end of the Disney corny MCU as we know.
Possibly my favorite Guardians movie of the trilogy and I've loved all of them. One might be the best overall, but two still has the best villain. This one is definitely the darkest.
Same out of all of the movies in the trilogy,this is the best one and one of the few movies I consider perfect especially in the MCU. It's still the guardians of the galaxy but you still can see how much this movie and everything else really matured since the first one. I like antman 3 but this is what this movie should have been especially love and thunder. But such a great movie and loved it from start to finish
Adam Warlock in this was basically Lion-O in 'Thundercats'. A 12 year old in a grown body.
i thought the actor who played the high evolutionary was incredible. and the most effectively contemptible marvel villain EVER
No spoilers but I really enjoyed this movie, the ending was really amazing, I laughed, I cried & I had fun, but it is one of those movies that's really good but you can watch every once in a while
The moment I saw cute and innocent friendly animals in a James Gunn production. I was just waiting for the moment when it turned into Happy Tree Friends.
Kraglin gave Peter an Ipod or something with new music in GOTG 2. I think thats where the new music came from.
Introducing Adam Warlock after Thanos is dead is like making a Black Adam movie with no mention of Shazam/Billy Batson.
I have faith that Gunn can pull it off but its a missed opportunity.
Good thing the majority of the movie going audience aren't comic book readers because the complaints will be minimal when it comes to the Adam & Thanos connection.
@@DIZZYMANE exactly
You lose Joe and Anthony. Now James. I would've never let anyone that directed any in the first 21 movies. That formula is diluted.
The sound track was great and the scene with the Beastie boys song was 🔥.
Probably one of the best action set pieces of the trilogy
That was the only good thing about the movie as well as finding out Rocket which everyone the( audience) knew he was especially the other characters.
Quill got the new songs at the end of Guardians 2 where he's gifted a Zune.
I didn't stop crying the whole time… i couldn't catch my breath emotionally to enjoy the funny bits…
I’ll be one of a couple of ppl who will say at the end of GotG2, one of the ravagers gave Starlord a Zune with several thousand songs on it. Thats how he got all the new songs.
Probably got newer ones before he left earth with Thor as well.
The discussion of the detail on Rocket's face reminds me of the Guardians of the Galaxy video game from a couple years ago. Really good work on him there too. I still recommend that game for the story and the Guardians' well-done characterizations.
That game was amazing, 100% agree
I’m about to play it again after seeing vol 3
@@starkraven1148 I was inspired to do the same after watching.
I cried for the first time in a cinema over this
Peter got a Zune from Yondu in Vol2. The songs would be way more updated time period wise.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, with the zune peter would have new access to more music.
First F bomb in an MCU movie, plenty of F bombs in Marvel films like Deadpool, Logan, and Blade movies.
MCU is owned by Disney while the other Marvel were distributed through other studios.
The teaser where they were carryiing Peter's body was misleading. He wasn't dead. He just passed out drunk from a bar.
The Cage scene with Rocket reminded me of the Ghetto in the late 80's and 90's. Ya, were in a prison, but were in prison together.
@22:30 they 100% revealed that in the Holiday Special and NOT in GotG Vol. 2
21:58 THIS WAS THE FUNNIEST THING I SEEN DOUBLE TOASTED DO 😂😂😂
No Black Music in the Guardians movies, Martin? Really lol? Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terell? Sam Cooke? Jackson 5? The Five Stairsteps? Parliament? I could go on...
For real😂
Boo-hoooo
Not to mention Earth Wind and Fire all the reasons I told my brother who that was and he never knew.
Its amazing how the music selected was efficiently diegethic throughout the film.
Adam Warlock feels like Drax 2.0.
not a "Bad" character, and they use him well in the movie.
but he feels so much like a missed opportunity compared to all the great and big stories they could have adapted for him from the comics.
(Let’s play a game) everybody take a shot every time when Chris say the word “Stupid”
The villain was an actual villain. I loved him
Korey trying to use the force to stop his sneeze might be one of the funniest shit I've seen in a while
Jusr saw Vol. 2 again. And was reminded of Rocket's dialogiue at the end, surmised with "not pushing people away." Ended with a shot on him and a single tear rolling down his face. AmaIng how much of that scnene threads into Vol. 3.
Peter Quill got his Walkman broken by his father, and later got a Zune from Sean Gunn's Character in the second one. Presumably 90s and 2000s hit would be on there
7:48 That space otter was voiced by Hawkeye's wife. Linda Cardellini- aka- earlier live action Velma from Scooby Doo movirs.
9:23 James Gunn knew what he was doing here in this clip. And I hate the fact that it worked. 😭😭😭
Man this film series was a emotional rollercoaster action ride.
It was shown in GOTG Vol. 2 that Starlord got a Zune from Yondu that had a mixture of music from different decades on it. You guys need to pay attention. The music is not an issue
I hate it when a sneeze gets interrupted. Always leaves my sinuses feeling clogged up.
"Grab my hand when I put it out there for you!"
If you think about it, the High Evolutionary is a mad scientist. So, he’s kind of a madman in the comics.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoyed the movie for the most part honestly best in one in a while and Howard the duck design was the best he's looked in my opinion
Already knew y'all would be tripping this morning 😂
They played the song "Reasons" because Groot was about to penetrate the base made of organic material that kind of looked like a you-know-what,and they thought that it would be clever to play a love making song. But you are right, it did not fit.
That third brother's hair looks like it came with the headband...😂
I LOVED the first 2 Guardians of the galaxy movies. I used to even think that the second was a 10/10 and that the first was a 9/10, but after a few rewatches, I think the first is a 10/10 and the second is a 9/10.
But this new one? Uh... well...
My big problem is that the flash-backs to Rocket Raccoon's origin story was way too dark. Like, seriously, way too dark. It flet like a horror movie or a really dark dramatic oscar-bait movie dark.(Also, some of the creatures the villain made were too scary and ugly looking.) Some people will like that, but, while I'm okay with a movie having a few sad scenes, but I hate it when we have lots of them and this felt like a lot. Also, I usually hate scary scenes, which is why I hate horror. We get it, Rocket Raccoon's childhood was a living hell, can we PLEASE get back to the funny characters!? (Also, some of the visuals were just gross.)
But the funny characters? Oh yeah, they're still funny, maybe even hilairious! People in my theatre/cinema laughed at a lot of the jokes, especially my dad, and even I laughed quite a few times. In particular, I thought Mantis, Drax and Nebula. In fact, I would say Nebula was the best she had ever been as a character in this movie! She's cold on the outside, but genuinely cares for some of her teammates, in particular Rocket Raccoon. Also, the ending was nice, (even if they did do something I'm kinda against) because it was an emotional conclusion to the series.
Would I rewatch it? Well, maybe when it comes out for free with my Disney+ subscription. All in all, it was "a mixed bag", as the saying goes.
Oh wanna know what the thing they did that I was against? Okay, SPOILER WARNING:
The Guardians of the Galaxy split up. I was against that because I enjoy them being together and them splitting up was a bit of a sad idea to me.
Hey everyone, I just finally re-watched this movie on Disney+ and I liked it quite a bit more. I'd say it's now a 7/10 or a 8/10. The dark stuff was less dark this time around.
