In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Peter Quill is still very upset about the loss of Gamora. However, he must overcome this and rally the team one more time to save one of their own. It turns out, their foe isn’t just a threat to the Guardians, but entire civilations! Where previous Guardians movies explore mom, and then dad, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 explores self. This is done through the lens of several of the characters and really is a solid choice by James Gunn.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Quality

Watching this film I was immediately struck with how good it looks. I have always thought the Guardians of the Galaxy movies looked good. This one excelled to a new level. Rocket, in particular, looks amazing. The other effects that surround him also were quite impressive. Overall, this is a movie that is quite nice to look at. The accompanying music and sound effects are also equally impressive. While this might not be my favorite playlist in the Guardians movies, it is still very enjoyable. The movie-making process kept the quality one expects from a James Gunn movie at Marvel Studios. It is definitly worth watching on a big screen TV and a good surround sound system.

Extras

The extras included with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 include a couple of featurettes, deleted scenes, director commentary, and a gag reel. I found the featurettes to be very enjoyable and would love more bonus features like them included with this release. I also enjoyed the deleted scenes and director commentary. The gag reel was better than most but still was not my favorite. Here is a look at all of the bonus features that were available with this release:

Final Thoughts

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a wonderful story to wrap out the Guardians trilogy. It is driven entirely by heart and love on the side of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Their foe, well, he had other reasons that were just about the opposite. The film moves along at a good pace and resolves itself in a very satisfying way at the end. It not only is a solid ending for the film, but for the trilogy. The additional bonus features were a nice addition to the release. I do wish more had been included, though. This movie gets a solid hat tip.

Note: there are some points in this film with the villain being terrible to animals. If you are sensitive to this, this might not be the movie for you.
