Finally got round to seeing Guardians 3… What a waste of 2 1/2 hours that was. I enjoyed the first 2, but 3 was just terrible. The “story” is awful. Numerous, cheesy, cliché bits thrown together here and there. Nothing interesting or very cohesive. Nothing ever had a sense of consequence.
Even the soundtrack couldn’t quite save it (though was easily the best part).
“Written and Directed by James Gunn”.
Good luck DC, you’re gonna need it.
For me, Marvel peaked with Endgame. This was the end of ten years of interconnected stories and it was a fantastic run. Everything afterwards now feels like generic superhero films. Superhero battles new bad guy. Multiverse doesn’t interest me.
With the arrival of Disney+, there are television shows and films to follow and my wife and I have completely lost interest in the Marvel franchise. There’s so much content and we don’t find it interesting anymore.
But in saying that, we did see GotG3 as it was one of the film series we enjoyed and we wanted to see how it ended.
They peaked with IW.
All the characters gathered, all the threads joined, all the arcs converged, and the last act, perfection.
Endgame managed to put everything in the tank to just barely match EG, then snapped their series ultimate trump card.
We needed a 5 year break to be able to feel again after that, but, you know, money.
