In Marvels 'Guardians of the Galaxy 3' sieht unsere geliebte Schar von Außenseitern dieser Tage ein wenig anders aus. Nachdem sie 'Knowhere' vom Collector erworben haben, arbeiten die Guardians daran, den extremen Schaden, den Thanos angerichtet hat, zu beheben - entschlossen, Knowhere zu einem sicheren Hafen zu machen, nicht nur für sie selbst, sondern für alle Flüchtlinge, die durch das raue Universum vertrieben wurden. Aber es dauert nicht lange, bis ihr Leben von Rockets turbulenter Vergangenheit eingeholt wird. 'Star-Lord' Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), der noch immer unter dem Verlust von Gamora (Zoe Saldana) leidet, muss sein Team um Drax (Dave Bautista) und Co. für eine gefährliche Mission um sich scharen, um Rockets Leben zu retten - eine Mission, die, wenn sie nicht erfolgreich abgeschlossen wird, möglicherweise zum Ende der Guardians, wie wir sie kennen, führen könnte...

Marvel hat es schon mehrmals geschafft, mich zu rühren, aber noch nie so oft innerhalb eines einzigen Films. Dieses Werk ist gelungen. So sieht es aus, wenn sich um eine Serie liebevoll ein Mensch kümmert, der sie versteht – James Gunn. Der Abschied von Guardians of the Galaxy ist nicht hundertprozentig, ein bisschen gestört haben mich z. B. die nicht ganz fließenden Übergänge von einer Komödie zu einem Drama. Es ist aber ein so schöner Film, dass ich ihm nicht böse sein kann (nicht nur wegen der Waschbäraugen). Ich sage also danke. Seit dem ersten Film war es eine schöne, einfallsreiche und unvergessliche Reise mit Stil. Mal sehen, was noch kommt.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hat bereits im Trailer verraten, dass es ein herzerwärmender Film und ein Abschied von einigen Charakteren in einem sein wird. (Spoiler alert!) Ich gebe zu, dass die Konzentration von Zwiebeln während der Vorführung im Kino mehr als einmal anstieg - Tierquälerei bewegt jeden, aber in anderen Momenten gelang es den Filmemachern, traurige Saiten anzuschlagen, ohne dass es nervig offensichtlich gewesen wäre. Der Hauptbösewicht war mir nicht wirklich sympathisch und reiht sich in die Riege seiner ihm ähnlichen, arroganten Freaks mit abartigen "höheren Zielen" ein; auch die Figur des Adam ließ mich kalt. Im Mittelpunkt des dritten Teils von GG steht jedoch Rocket - vom kleinen Waschbären zum gestandenen Erwachsenen. Gunn hat es geschafft, die Geschichte mit der Geburt von Rocket auf eine wirklich fesselnde und bewegende Weise zu erzählen - beim Wiedersehen mit den Freunden von der anderen Seite musste ich sofort an den Dialog zwischen Harry und Dumbledore in King's Cross denken. Die Linie mit der intergalaktischen Version der Eugenika fügte dem ansonsten mehr oder weniger unbeschwerten Film eine tiefere Dimension hinzu und hatte durchaus Potenzial - die Sequenz aus Gegen-Erde erinnerte mich an D.N.A. - Experiment des Grauens. Doch neben den ergreifenden und ernsteren Momenten vergisst der Film weder die Action noch den Humor, auch wenn es eher weniger lustige Szenen, die für mich funktionierten, gab. Dennoch verließ ich das Kino zufrieden - der Film kitzelte zwar nur mein Zwerchfell, aber er war ein anständiger Abschied und ein bewegender Film in einem.

Zum dritten Mal und am besten. Rockets origin zusammen mit dem emotional erschöpften Star-Lord und der bisher souveränsten Regie von Gunn bringen Guardians of the Galaxy, die erwachsen geworden sind. Also fast. In den seriöseren Momenten wird die Atmosphäre dichter als je zuvor. Aber was nützt das, wenn gleich ein nächster Witz oder das dreißigste Lied kommt. Die ausgelassene Bande bleibt sich selbst treu – mit allen (hauptsächlich) guten, aber manchmal auch schlechten Dingen. Diesmal war es aber der beste Versuch.

The first third or so was barely a 3*, the situational jokes didn't work and the humour was a bit too pedestrian for Gunn (he was probably still winging it after the average Christmas special). But then it clicked. By going deeper with Rocket's flashbacks and showing his hardships, the story was given the emotional charge it needed, plus there's one more aspect that's important to me - how helpless animals somewhere are rescued, or an effort is made to rescue them, the film gets plus points with me. And the ending was poignant and chilling, and only served to prove that the most cohesive and interesting bunch in the entire MCU universe were the Guardians. It's been a pleasure, you lovable freaks. PS: Gunn's films are distinctive and have their own identity, which is why I like them so much. What a difference from the factory fare Marvel offered after Endgame, they can go bury themselves in shame. PPS: A message for parents: if you don’t want your kids to be traumatised, don’t take them to this film. It’s really not for little kids.

The first half of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 looks like a compilation of jokes cut from a mediocre sitcom. The second half is just as uninteresting in terms of depth, but at least it has drive. The fatalism doesn't work and doesn't lead to anything decent. But surprisingly, I ended up enjoying it quite a bit.

Thank god Marvel had the sense to bring James Gunn back to direct. He has crafted the best Marvel team from the best universe Marvel could have ever dreamed of. James Gunn is one of the few Marvel directors who really thinks about what he’s making, giving his films a unique touch. Guardians of the Galaxy is the best thing that could have happened to him. The characters are fantastic, the settings are beautiful, and the films are packed with creative ideas. There's no need to break it all down here. The third Guardians movie is one of Marvel’s best films, and honestly, given how the brand has been struggling lately, Marvel might as well quit while they're ahead.

Another big farewell party in full swing. Rocket’s origin story is the main pull of the third outing and it certainly did not disappoint. Yet, he's not the main star and the team gets a balanced roster, giving James Gunn a chance to say goodbye to everyone. The traditional story is wrapped in novel ideas and details that will simply grab you by the heart. Quill's depression, Nebula's care and Adam Warlock's unexpected devotion to his mother all have their place and are used appropriately. Still, it seems to me that Gunn is turning on demand and not with the gusto of Suicide Squad 2 – he plays it safe everywhere. But he still he managed to give us the best villain in the series. Chukwudi Iwuji gives everything, too, his High Evolutionary is a complex character who won't settle for anything less than perfection. This time, there was too much music for taste, and it overwhelmed Murphy’s excellent orchestral score. Even though we will never see this bunch together again, they say goodbye with the message that everyone is different, we need to respect that or at least get used to it and love each other just the way we are. Yeah, and it’s also important to give a second chance, something that Gunn himself got, and he doesn’t take it lightly. So, adios, and we’ll see each other again in another universe, with Superman.

For God's sake, give this bunch of lovable oddballs some dignity. If the first and second films were overstuffed but benefited from the fact that the main characters looked so "different and funny" compared to most others, the third film looks like a stale and generic colouring book without any innovation and freshness. There are lots of characters that aren't even worth talking about and the only thing that has a solid pull and gets some emotion out of the viewer is the line with the raccoon and a couple of funny jokes with Bautista. A film that starts 30 minutes and ends at about 45, already quite a nightmare with all the banging and shooting. Star Lord and co. can take a well-deserved break now no one will hold a grudge.

As a farewell to James Gunn and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3 is a workable film, but if I were to look at it with an objective eye as a "standalone" Marvel movie, I wouldn't be as excited as most of the film community. The action doesn't exactly bust your balls, and (apart from the final single-shot three minute scene in the corridor, which was excellent!!!) there’s almost nothing significant to remember, and even in terms of new characters it's a very odd affair. Adam Warlock as one of the strongest characters in the universe has about five minutes and he comes across as a regular civilian and certainly not a character around which the future world should be built. That was very disappointing as I was expecting an introduction to his abilities and a lure to his future action. On the other hand, it's worth picking up the great Draxx again and again, who (as the only one) adds fresh humour, with Dave Bautista literally enjoying the role. But the rest seems to have got lazy compared to the previous episodes in terms of humour, and actually plays too much on emotions and parting with the whole concept – maybe a bit more than it should. Good? Definitely yes. But as good and fateful as it was touted to be? Definitely not. Still, the new Guardians of the Galaxy takes away the "Marvel gold standard" in the form of a decent four-star rating, it's just that when you compare it to the first Marvel movies 10 years ago, it's just something vastly different...

The MCU’s swan song. I’m afraid that the third installment of Guardians of the Galaxy is (and probably will be for a long time) the last MCU movie which made me care about the story and the fate of its characters. Most importantly, it's an awesome movie packed with emotion, great moments, and, as we’ve come to expect of Gunn, an absolutely amazing soundtrack. Yes, it's a bit overelaborate, it does get cringy at times, and there are way too many characters. However, since the end of Phase Three, there hasn’t been anything this intriguing, entertaining, and moving (not just the ending). A last look into the good old world which, whether I admit it or not, has very much influenced my taste in movies, my interest in comic books, and just me personally in general. Thanks, Kevin.
