JASON EVANS' 100-WORD REVIEWS: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

 An emotional ending

Film critic Jason Evans has made it his mission to tell you everything you need to know about movies in less time than it takes to give a hug to an old friend. His reviews are exactly 100 words long (99 would be too short, but 101 is just excessive). Here is his 100-word review of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.


The Premise: The Guardians are just minding their own business on Knowhere when superpowered Adam Warlock (Will Poulter) attacks and badly injures Rocket (Bradley Cooper). The gang soon realizes that the key to helping Rocket is a special code stored on Orgosphere, a planet/corporation controlled by the technology-obsessed High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji). Peter (Chris Pratt), Drax (Dave Bautista), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), and Groot (Vin Diesel) will do anything to save their friend, even turning to Gamora (Zoe Saldana) for help. Like the first two Guardians films, this pic is written and directed by James Gunn.

The 100-words: A touching and thrilling end to the Guardians trilogy. Everyone gets moments to shine and shed a tear or two. Gunn’s talents are on full display as his script hits many heart-felt moments and his images leap off the screen in a way few Marvel films have in recent years. It isn’t as funny as other Guardians pics and may have too many characters trying to do stuff but those are small sins, easy to forgive. It was a relief to see a Marvel movie that was only trying to tell its own story, not set up other MCU nonsense.
