Editor’s Note: This review of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3″ was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Real Mom of SFV would like to acknowledge that without the labor of the writers and actors who are currently on strike, films such as this would not be possible.
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is a wild ride, full of action and heart, although bittersweet at times.
The band of misfits is back for one final adventure. It seems that there is one character who is not joining in willingly though. Care to guess?
So what’s this latest installment of GotG about? Check out the synopsis below…
In Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” our beloved band of misfits is looking a bit different these days. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), still reeling from a terrible loss, must rally his team and embark on a dicey, action-packed mission to defend the universe and protect Rocket. Meanwhile, a new, unpredictable force threatens to bring the Guardians down for good. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is written and directed by James Gunn.
When I watched this movie with my family, I was not prepared for the emotion that the film would bring. As far as a conclusion to the “Guardians” movies, I think it was rather good. Sometimes when you see the final film in a trilogy it is not very satisfying, but I thought the conclusion wrapped things up nicely.
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is available on Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD formats.
