Aye, so I watched that tonight.
Great way to end that sequence of films. Liked what they did with Adam Warlock.

Well, the fight in the corridor was pretty neat and some visuals just scream that they'd work well in paper form (organic space station), but I'm just left with that feeling of well, that was a bunch of events that happened.
I actually enjoyed Will Poulter being on screen, he's normally type cast as that guy you just can't stand (Voyage of the Dawn Treader, We're the Millers, Midsommar... Although I've just seen he's in The Bear which is meant to be good, but I digress) but he was woefully underused.

Poulter was good in The Bear; a very understated performance.
Enjoyed G3. It needed a lot of cutting back (and yet the ending seemed rather abrupt) but it was entertaining.

Watching this tonight. Feels good to be back in a Phase 3 type film. Nothing since Endgame had really hooked me like this, really well pitched mix of humour and drama.

Not that keen on GOTG1. Thought 2 was utter shite: beyond awful. Surprisingly quite enjoyed 3 though!

That was brilliant. Laughed, cried, everything. That's a Phase 3 epilogue for sure. Needs tucking in after Endgame rather than being stuck in the misguided mess of the multiverse stuff.

I do not give a flying fuck about multiverses.

Saw Guardians 3 last weekend. I think it is the Marvel Studios movie I've enjoyed most since Black Panther in honesty. It had a good villain. I thought they did a better job with the High Evolutionary than they did with Thanos - mostly because it was more credible that the Evolutionary could have deluded himself into half believing his own rhetoric about creating a better world - whilst still having it be obvious to the viewer that all of that was self-serving nonsense.
I'm also very impressed with how much emotional investment the film created in what is, in the end a special effect and a voice performance. This was in so many ways Rocket's movie to carry, and it worked so well.
I also thought it did a really good job of paying off the story arcs of all the characters - it felt like it managed to serve the whole cast well and allow everyone a bit of closure. Everyone got to look back at where they had come from, and forward to who they might be next, and I thought that worked really well.
(The only thing that did strike me is that the James Bond style caption at the end of the film didn't give me the reaction I think they had hoped for. I'm not bothered whether I ever see Star Lord again, but I wouldn't mind seeing the new Guardians have a misadventure or two without him...)

A lot of the criticism of the recent Marvel films seems to have been around a lack of star power and I've got the impression (can't point to quotes or anything off the top of my head) that Disney also think this has been a big part of the issue. There's maybe some truth in this but more in the fact the films and shows haven't provided the roles to allow the stars to shine.
I suspect it was very important to Disney to ensure the audience had confidence that as many stars as possible would return.
