The film's emotional story of Rocket was undeniably captivating, and the Guardians' unity was truly remarkable. The way the story was crafted was beautifully done, and the characters' individual paths were a poignant reminder of the importance of family. It was a bittersweet moment when they parted ways, but it was a fitting conclusion to the story.

I have seen the 2 previous movies, I had no idea I would be crying withing the 1st 15 minutes. Then laugh, then on the edge of my seat. I sometimes forgot I was only watching and NOT part of the movie. This is an awesome, amazing, heartfelt movie. I actually had tears of sadness 6 times throughout this movie. This has been the best, and the #1 movie of 2023

Classic rock needle drops and showy, snaking, single-shot action sequences – both GOTG trademarks – abound in a picture that balances a slightly overstuffed storyline with mischief, humour and the biggest of hearts.

Because Rocket is not just an object, and because the film’s flashback structure invests the quest with emotional power, the plot of Guardians 3 never feels like paint-by-numbers gamification; it feels like something we might actually want to care about.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 has way too much story crammed in its two-and-half-hour runtime, but the reason to see the movie is the Guardians themselves and how they’ve grown and evolved since they were first introduced.
