It's incredible that for a third outing Gunn is able to maintain a high bar that competes for top spot with the other two guardian volumes.
While it doesn't necessarily take the top spot for me, the standout moments are fantastic, between the fight sequences and its signature wit, it's a really fun outing topped with some emotional beats that land pretty good.
I haven't stepped into the theater to watch a Marvel movie since End Game (haven't streamed any releases since either lol), and I think it's safe to say if you're in the same boat, this is a good watch worth seeing on the big screen. There are some plot threads about characters or otherwise that I totally forgot about (or haven't witnessed) and it was annoying that those were there with absolutely no explanation, so maybe search "everything you need to know before GotGV3" on YouTube before you go to refresh to avoid that.
Also I'd advise that there is a lot of Nightmare fuel in this, between the grotesque animal war machines, an entire space station made of flesh, and more, it's a bit of a heavy one.
But again, all in all I think it's a great movie, and I'm glad that I saw it, and think many will feel the same.
