Disappointing. I was expecting more from the fans. This was James Gunn's love letter to these characters and it is easily the greatest ending to a trilogy within the MCU.

Agreed. Unfortunately the worm has turned and it's cool to hate Marvel again. 

This movie is the first in a while where I feel no need to apologize/defend it. If you weren't entertained, I'm not sure what I can do for you. I laughed, cried (a lot) cheered, was horrified, and overall completely satisfied. Tons of Easter Eggs for comic fans and James Gunn fans. The fact that Lloyd Kaufman and the dude who played Benny Que in Tromeo and Juliet (Gunns first writing credit , I'm pretty sure) are in the Gotg movies is an awesome show of loyalty and friendship. I'm worried that every actor in this is going DC for James.

Potential spoilers!!!

Rocket's story is the best thing about this movie, it's emotional and sincere but at the time might seem like that Gunn is trying emotionally manipulate viewers by showing horrible stuff happening to the cutest CGI characters but it still has heart and emotional weight.

Problems only start when it isn't about Rocket, the whole team dynamic just doesn't feel right and seems like an SNL parody of the first movie rather than their natural evolution, situational comedy is also mostly dated and works half the time, less is more would work wonderfully with the jokes in this, same can be said about over usage of songs in every second scene, which gave me original Suicide Squad memories...

But the worst offender is Adam Warlock, I don't wanna spoil anything but what was the point of including him because 1) It isn't even a good introduction 2) He doesn't meaningfully serve the story in any way 3) surprise he's a "joke character", of course, it wouldn't be a James Gunn movie if he didn't portray one of the most powerful characters as total Joke, but it's getting old and stale when you keep doing it over and over, maybe his real story ended up on cutting floor and my opinion would be far different if we could see his story more developed but he's still a character that could have been easily cut and better incorporated into his own series. 

In a nutshell, the movie is worth watching just for the Rocket story arc alone but everything else in the movie seems to be an afterthought, which is nonetheless still more entertaining and fun than last Ant-Man and Thor.

I suspect it will do just fine once word gets out. A little bit of MCU fatigue has set in and after a few pretty big stinker movies and some poorly written and maybe far too long running Disney+ projects. I think a lot of people are using a wait and see approach. And then theres that Gunn is leaving to helm the major opposition. I know that shouldn't matter but somehow I feel like it does.

Promise I'm not trying to start a fight or any bs, but I liked Adam Warlocks character arc. I feel like it mirrored Rocket. Another science experiment being used for ends he doesn't understand. His first few minutes on screen are totally awesome. There are some jokes there because he's naive, but they aren't really haha jokes. They start me feeling sorry for him. I'm excited for his MCU future by the end.

[tarot]

I haven't seen it yet but from what I can tell Adam is exactly like he was when he was introduced in that comic. Young naive and innocent, acting nearly as a child. It was until jim starlin took over that he became what he is.

[Markelous]

I felt like I was stuck watching the first series finale of Magnum P.I., the one before they renewed it for another year and then ended it properly. 

[Lord_Scareglow]

I liked this movie quite a bit, the Rocket arc is awesome, and this movie will really pull your heartstrings, some of the team jokes and dynamics felt a bit dated, but the whole composition that was this movie was a nice end to the trilogy. it was an entertaining ride that was for sure, from laughter, to cheering and tons of tears, the whole theatre was weeping at several points, and that says a lot.

 

[memocromatico]

I can’t wait to watch it again tomorrow. It is such a beautiful film and a great sendoff to this version of the team. Easily my favorite 3rd movie in the MCU, or tied to Infinity War, but that feels like cheating. GotG was already my favorite movie and it was shaping up to be my favorite trilogy, but it truly went above and beyond what I was expecting. This makes me very excited for what Gunn has in store for DC

Agree completely

[tarot]

Watched it today and loved it. I will say despite being a GOTG movie and other factors, this is a Rocket movie first and foremost. 

As for Adam, he is great. He is very much like he was when he started in the in the comics. 

I also like to say another female GOTG made their debut as well in the mid-credit.

[since83]

I really want the mid credit scene in a 5 pack...since we already have one figure. I hope we actually do see that set up in action soon. 

Just saw it again. It was packed on a Monday night. It got a round of applause to boot. I really am hoping word of mouth helps this pick up speed.

[JohnF]

Without getting into any kind of spoilers, I'll say that this movie was truly great. I think it was a very good way to end the franchise or the trilogy anyway and this movie felt like it was made for a reason. Unlike AntMan 3 which just felt like had to be made to get us to know Kang and move closer/get a teaser of the Kang Dynasty. This movie focused on its characters instead of the wider storyline and that's why the result was so goood.

I've been thinking about it and I'd love to see that as well. I won't get my hopes up though...We're still missing major characters from the movie, like Gamora and the HIgh Evolutionary. 

[RobertD]

This might sadly be the first MCU movie I don't see in theaters.  My fiance just really dislikes Chris Pratt so she's hesitant to go, and my free time when she's not around is fairly limited.

One of the movie properties that didn't look like it would do that well, and yet it certainly did. Sequels and merchandise and commercials- im wondering why Hasbro didn't make any of the ships they had (Milano, etc.) . I think there was a Hotwheels/Mattel toy, but thats it?

Ships and vehicles for toys are a thing of the past from the 80s.  The only way we would see a ship from a movie now would be if Hasbro did a Kickstarter type of deal and saw how many would want it.

?? McFarlane has done a number of vehicles, Fornite as well....they aren't a thing of the past. Anyway, just seems to be it would be a cool thing they could offer along with their Guardians collection.

I don't know about Fortnite and I think the only vehicle I know that McFarlane did was the Bat Mobile and Bat Cycle and that was limited I believe.
