"Once more with feeling". This is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This superhero film written and directed by James Gunn, based on the Marvel Comics superhero team Guardians of the Galaxy created by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, and produced by Marvel Studios. It is the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), and the 32nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Our beloved band of misfits are looking a bit different these days. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.
In November 2014, after the release of the first film, James Gunn confirmed that he had initial ideas for a third film in the series. In April 2017, a month before the release of
Vol. 2, the film was announced with Gunn returning to write and direct. In July 2018, Disney fired him from the film following the resurfacing of controversial posts on Twitter, but the studio reversed course by that October and reinstated Gunn as director. In March 2019, Gunn's return was publicly revealed with production resuming after Gunn completed work on his film
The Suicide Squad (2021) and the first season of its spin-off series
Peacemaker (2022). By early November 2021, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn, Elizabeth Debicki, Maria Bakalova, and Sylvester Stallone were confirmed to reprise their roles with Chukwudi Iwuji and Will Poulter rounded out the films' cast as newcomers. At the same time, principal photography commenced and wrapped in early May 2022. Filming took place at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, under the working title
Hot Christmas. The visual effects were provided by Framestore, Weta FX, Sony Pictures ImageWorks, Industrial Light & Magic, Rodeo FX, Rise FX, Crafty Apes, BUF, Lola VFX, Perception, and Compuhire, with Stephane Ceretti as visual effects supervisor. In October 2021, Gunn revealed that John Murphy was hired to compose the film's score.
The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Pratt, Saldaña, Bautista, Gillan, Klementieff, Diesel, Cooper, Gunn, Iwuji, Poulter, Debicki, Bakalova, and Stallone. Attempts to make the characters more than incessant joke boxes pays off (for the most part), and despite the humor’s inconsistency, there are some truly funny moments thanks to the cast.
Like its predecessor, it stands on its own and might as well have ten sequels without having to flirt with other Marvel movies. Paradoxically, despite being the darkest film in the trilogy, it is, at the same time, the weakest. The film leans VERY heavily on the familial tropes, and you need to be able to cope with a lot of sentimentality to fully enjoy this film. Overall, the film still had elements of the original and even though it started off slow, it picked up steam to a supercharged, somewhat hokey ending.
