Just Watched GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Vol. 3! Coy's Reaction & Review!!
citizens of the reject Nation I am just walking out of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. this is my non-spoiler review and I am in love I am back to feeling that Marvel magic this is not only everything I want from a Marvel movie this is everything I want from a movie this is everything I want from art that’s made me feel this was a magic trick where James Gunn basically put me in a state of all and then punctuated that awe with Despair and joy so I was left with this insane Whirlwind of just
feeling it’s all the characters you love and being reminded of why you love them it is everything you want from the action spectacle in that the action has weight to it this felt so tangible especially considering it is so bright and Cosmic and allowed there are elements of this that are so comic Booky this might be the most comic bookie of my favorite comic book films in that a lot of times like you add a comic book Element and it doesn’t quite work for the medium of comics this is insane there are lovecraftian villains there
are chimera-esque villains there are um fleshy organic planetoids there’s so much stuff that is pure Jim Sterling Cosmic that somehow Works in this medium and I
Guardians but it’s also tied into the editing the the writing the directing and here also ties to the villain the villain here the high evolutionary is a top tier comic villain he’s able to be both enormous like not quite mustache twirly but big and bold and loud and zod-ish but also manipulative in a really contained way there’s a lot of elements of tiny nuanced decisions that make you hate him because of a contained malignant move or or decision that it’s really interesting when juxtaposed with a lot of the big swings and we’ve been on this
journey with the Guardians for a long time and at the first film I consider you know about a family and then the second film obviously about family and then the third film is about found family the first film I’d say mother second father third about self and you just feel this connection between all three films that is so unique to any Trilogy this is easily my favorite of the Marvel films as far as trilogies go this is probably tied with the first film I need to decide if the first or this film is my favorite
it is definitely my favorite trilogy because as I said this this is amongst my favorite comic films of all time this is either my top five or top three MCU movies this thing is crazy I digress I’m gonna I’m gonna break down some elements for you so we’ve got the Duos right we’ve got the gabora Star-Lord relationship which I think is fascinating and I think they do a really good job and actually exceeded my expectations that was one of the only elements I was worried about was how they’d handle that relationship and they definitely maneuver
between two extremes and all the while you’re really really in love with hope and I think that’s exactly what this movie needed then you’ve got the Mantis Drax relationship which I think really really is an interesting byproduct of having the holiday special came out when it did what that relationship is is not just between them it’s not just this beautiful platonic relationship that I think was really well written so it doesn’t become anything more it also impacts the overall team in a really interesting way in this film the team Dynamic that comes from how drags
and mantis relate is really wonderful especially in relating to Gamora you’ve got rocket who will test the very limits of what you think you can feel for an animated creature special effects are at a new level here especially with emotional connection man that that uncanny valley is broken and how much you can feel and and the depths of which you can believe in something that’s ones and zeros Bradley Cooper Take a Bow good God and there’s a really cool use of timeline there there’s a really cool use of chronology and I love how jarring it
is and I think that’s the only way this movie works is by testing you by vexing You by putting you through the ringer emotionally because all these characters are full of trauma including as ever one of the MVPs of the entire MCU nebula she is trauma incarnate her Arc has been beautiful to see Karen Gillen is such a force in nature as an actor like you can put her in that position and have her have that character and you can just love this black-eyed evil daughter of Thanos that isn’t evil that’s overcome everything that you
think hates but Love’s just so impossibly deeply and that’s so special and then you’ve got Cosmo this dog we want wanted to see in movies forever is here and she is wonder she has magic and then some new characters I don’t want to spoil anything of but uh Rockets lady is everything you want to do from the comics and all the characters in that uh almost Toy Story two I think it’s toy no Toy Story one Toy Story one asks are exactly what you want out of that scene where you discover the origins of rocket
that he’s kept so close to the vest for all these years it’s these characters so that juxtaposed with your hatred for high evolutionary that mixed with the cosmic Wonder of what this builds out to it is absolutely stunning what they’re able to accomplish and then you’ve got the scale of it right so the scope of the Marvel universe is always a struggle basically with Marvel you’re always having to have uh ever escalating like world ending events but it doesn’t always work because basically if everything is an Avengers level event nothing is an Avengers level event
right so this is the first movie that to me feels like Infinity War feels like end game feels like Stakes feels like there’s weight but also that there’s weight outside of your team like obviously we don’t live in the MCU but it definitely feels like there is something at stake that could affect you not in as directive away as you know I’m in harm but you want the world to feel plausible and that something could happen that could harm you in some way and the way they build the stakes here make it feel like that
could somehow impact you and that’s really special with a Guardians of the Galaxy film uh let’s talk about a couple of the negatives the negative I had with Adam Warlock definitely went away in the beginning I didn’t love the characterization about a warlock um actually feel like he was it’s funny actually it’s it’s kind of talking to the comics in the beginning he feels like when a writer doesn’t know how to write Adam Warlock but they do it on purpose so the Adam Warlock characterization is I think intentionally misleading and then they know him so
well it writes itself it does solve some of those elements so by the time it lands I do really like Adam Warlock I do really think that what they have him end up like is worth that initial maybe not so great of a decision in the way he’s introduced there’s a an expediency to it that bothers me still but it’s all juice worth the squeeze in its situational uh awareness So Adam Warlock is a slight negative another negative I’ve heard is there’s a bit of whiplash in how the drama and comedy goes back and forth
I completely patently disagree with that I think that’s what makes this movie special is that Whiplash I completely disagree with people think it’s too dark and too full of Despair that is what makes this movie sing so people that are saying that um we had a different experience we’d perform so those aren’t negatives for me uh I guess still negative I really have is man this is a damn near five-star film um I think the biggest negative I experienced was I would have loved I think a little more you know I actually don’t have any
log I was gonna try to like make something negative that wasn’t just now I’m trying to find a problem with this movie I loved it it is so special it is so what I needed it to be Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 one of my favorite MCU films of all time one of my favorite comic films of all time one is actually shared films of all time James Gunn is about to make the DC Universe something truly Monumental because this Trilogy is the best Trilogy in the MCU and one of the best trilogies in
film and it sucked the landing and I’m so happy thank you reject Nation please hit the like hit that subscribe Bell please do comment let me know what you guys thought of the movie I tried to be as spoiler free as possible I am very curious about the discourse of this film because I walked out of the theater going like everyone’s gonna love it who can hate it apparently people I know and trust so it is uh it’s gonna be an interesting discourse I adored it four and a half maybe even five stars for me
