Michael Bay's all over that

Hm.. given James Gunn's track record I find it highly unlikely that he would end his beloved Guardians Trilogy on a note anywhere close to as bad and messy as say something like Thor 4. It was at least a somewhat entertaining mess, but still a mess. And the Guardians were in it, oddly enough, and couldn't save it (but then again they were only in the first 10 or 15 min or something).

My body is so ready for this.

Less than 3 weeks now.

There was something from Gunn when Vol 2 was coming out that he would continue to oversee the cosmic side of the MCU

Guess that is no longer a thing with him working on the DC films at WB's.

Some good early reactions...

I think the premiere is/was today...

"Premise: The Guardians of the Galaxy are adjusting to life on Knowhere when parts of Rocket's past resurface. In order to protect him, Peter Quill must lead the Guardians on a dangerous mission that could lead to the team dissolving if they fail."

I give it a solid 5/7 as far as premises go.

Reviews are rolling in. It just had the premiere and the review embargo has been lifted...

Hittin' this shit up tomorrow.

I've already listened to the entire (I think) soundtrack list that was released. I've listened to most of the tracks several times. Some good tunes.

Can’t wait till mañana.

Kinda mixed on this one.

The story was ok not too bad not too good.

Had some emotional scenes.

Fights were pretty good.

Adam Warlock was awful dont know what was the point of puting him in the movie.

The villain was kinda bad.

Overall an ok movie.

It's getting mixed reviews too. Which sucks, as Phase 5 had a very meh start with AM3.

Soundtrack looks pretty good though.

Agreed with Estacado for the most part. It goes in the lower-middle of MCU movies.

It's a bit of a disjointed mess. Seems to jump from 1 inconsequential pointless scene to another. Desperately needs a better edit.

Has some emotional scenes but once again there's zero consequence to anything. Main characters die just to immediately be brought back to life. One in an identical way to a previous movie.

Several of the actors said this was the final time they'd be playing their roles but there's nothing to suggest that's actually true other than there's a different Guardians line up at the mid credits.

I actually liked the the high evolutionary. A completely over the top unhinged sociopath.

Doesn't have anything to fit it in with the Kang story arc.

Anyone hoping for it to save the MCU from continuing to languish in mediocrity is going to be disappointed.

5/10.

It does have one exceptionally awesome fight scene though.

It kicked ass. So glad I avoided all trailers.

It didn't feel like 2 and half hours... I was never bored.

So much win.

I think one of the RT quotes I saw is that it's the James Gunniest movie ever... haha, so true.

Edit: Oh, yeah. Stick around for two credit scenes.
