'Guardians 3' Proves James Gunn Understands Comics Better Than Marvel

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a James Gunn movie through and through.The ambitious Marvel Cinematic Universe film proudly features the silliness, wit, and open-hearted sentimentality that viewers have come to expect from Gunn's work.As a result, Vol. 3 has been held up by its supporters as proof that it is, indeed, possible for filmmakers to leave their own stamp on comic book movies - even those produced by industry titans like Marvel and DC.

Review | 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3': Trilogy ends with whimper, not bang

StarOutline StarOutline (2 stars) There's a world of contradiction wrapped up in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3." On the one hand, like almost anything to come out of Marvel these days, it's long and loud - both qualities due as much to the noisy, protracted battle sequences as to the (over)use of retro needle drops that accompany them, courtesy of superhero Peter Quill's signature playlists, which here include the Beastie Boys' rap-rock anthem " No Sleep Till Brooklyn " - its opening guitar chords cued up on Peter's music player as he and the Guardians stride forward in slow motion to engage the enemy du jour.

'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' Review: These Intergalactic Weirdos Are the Real Heart of the MCU

James Gunn closes out his Marvel run with a big, weird, messy, and genuinely emotional love letter to his wacky band of unlikely heroes.Over the course of 23 films, three "phases," and one overall "saga," the Marvel Cinematic Universe spent its first decade leading up to a story basically engineered for maximum emotional response: "the Snap" (or, in in-universe parlance, "the Blip"), in which half of the universe's living beings were disappeared by the nefarious Thanos for five years.
