I liked 1st, disliked 2nd, will I like this?


Or is it like Beverly Hills Cop? III is the worst of the series.

Hopefully. It’s the best of the three Guardians films for me in terms of directing, soundtrack, action and emotional depth. It’s well worth your time and money to see on the big screen.

A ringing endorsement, I like that.

I thought it was better than II, which I liked, but not quite as good as I, which I loved.

reply

I've liked them all less than the previous one.

I loved 1. Liked but didn't love 2. And I left 3 feeling let down.

But I seem to be in the minority. You'll probably love it.

reply

I liked it, mostly because the 2nd was just a hard watch for me. Rocket's backstory was cool. I didn't really like the half animal, half humans, a little uncomfortable to watch.

reply

I must be the only one whose ranking is actually 2-1-3.

I always thought 1 was good, but overrated. 2 felt epic and had better humor than the first. Ego was the best villain in the franchise, I thought. 3 had a mostly boring story, confusing action sequences, and a mediocre soundtrack. The flashback scenes with Rocket were good.

How should I know? I don't even know you

I'd go 3-1-2.

Part 2 is still a good GOTG, and Kurt Russell was great. But lacked a bit of the charm of the first film.

1 and 3 for me are top tier Marvel films. 3 is probably the darkest Marvel film in places. And the Villain is one of the better scummy villains in Marvel history.

I loved the first one, disliked the second.

It did not work for me. I have almost given up on the Marvel movies in general.

reply

Probably not, because I like first one too, I think it's the best Marvel movie with Captain America 1 and Iron Man 1.

But second one is boring, I just finished third one, it's boring too.
