Finally got round to seeing Guardians 3.... What a waste of 2 1/2 hours that was. I enjoyed the first 2, but 3 was just terrible. The "story" is awful. Numerous, cheesy, cliché bits thrown together here and there. Nothing interesting or very cohesive. Nothing ever had a sense of consequence.

Even the soundtrack couldn't quite save it (though was easily the best part).

"Written and Directed by James Gunn".

Good luck DC, you're gonna need it.

I think something happened after multiverse of madness that, I don’t know, broke the mcu for me. Everything that has come out afterwards just tastes, meh. Like, feels there are no high stakes, nothing is permanent, rules are arbitrary, the acting is, let’s be frank, not their best, and the CGI is what is exactly what you get from overworked underpaid staff. Please note this is my own personal experience. And my kids still can’t get enough of it.

You hit the nail on the head. No high stakes, nothing is permanent, rules are arbitrary. It looks all nice and shiny, but it's just... emptiness.

So, comic book like then? I thought it was fun myself, that’s all I want from these guys..

You really don't want to emulate American comic book success
