The most recent installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise was released in theaters on May 5, as part of Marvel\u2019s Phase Five project. The film, which was written and directed by James Gunn, starred many fan favorites including Chris Pratt as Peter Quill AKA Star-lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Vin Diesel as Groot, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Karen Gillan as Nebula and Bradley Cooper as Rocket. <\/span><\/p>\n

Besides the classic crew, \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3\u201d also cast some new faces. Will Poulter, best known for his roles as Eustace Scrubb in \u201cThe Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader\u201d and as Gally from \u201cThe Maze Runner,\u201d made a spectacular appearance as Adam Warlock \u2014 an all-powerful being with a little bit lacking upstairs. Sean Gunn, best known as Kirk from \u201cGilmore Girls,\u201d played Kraglin \u2014 Yondu Udonta’s incompetent replacement. Possibly most surprisingly, Sylvester Stallone made a brief cameo as a Ravager. <\/span><\/p>\n

The story follows Rocket\u2019s origin story as he fights for his life after being attacked by Adam Warlock. The Guardians soon notice that Rocket has a killswitch inside him that prevents them from reviving him. The remaining Guardians must locate Rocket\u2019s inventor and steal a code that can deactivate the killswitch that will certainly spell his doom. <\/span><\/p>\n

This movie encompasses all the stuff Marvel used to be made of. The cinematography and CGI are certainly some of the best out of the recent Marvel Phases. But despite beautiful displays, this movie is able to take Marvel fans back to their roots \u2014 the good times when Marvel movies were more than just an obvious cash grab. <\/span><\/p>\n

From the constant heartbreaks to the beautiful, heartwarming resolution, this film is a rollercoaster of emotions that is sure to delight fans everywhere. Every time the audience was served with a flashback from Rocket\u2019s childhood, I was nearly on the verge of crying \u2014 and I don\u2019t cry while watching movies. It was a real tearjerker, so be sure to grab a box of tissues before going to give this movie a watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

9\/10.<\/span><\/p>\n
