Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, the third and final chapter of the MCU trilogy, is nearly here – ahead of reviews, the first reactions have hailed it as the best movie since Avengers: Endgame.
The Guardians of the Galaxy made their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first movie, helmed by James Gunn, turned Z-list characters into household names and became the launchpad for one of the franchise’s richest, best franchises.
Alas, all good things must come to an end, and “we’ll all fly away together, into the forever” with Vol 3, a series-capper for the space bandits that will see them rally together one last time to save Rocket’s life.
We’re around a week away from the movie’s releases, so here’s all of the reactions so far, as well as updates on when to expect reviews and the Rotten Tomatoes score.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 reactions
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 has received unanimous praise in early first reactions, with some calling it the best entry in the MCU since Endgame and others describing it as a perfect end to the trilogy.
In one reaction following the Disneyland Paris screening on April 22, Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwell wrote: “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is a brilliant end to a brilliant trilogy. It’s very funny, emotional and everybody gets their stand-out moment. Will Poulter’s Warlock is a terrific addition, yet the focus is rightly on telling a satisfying end for the Guardians. Gonna miss them.”

After seeing it twice I can safely say #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 completes the perfect MCU trilogy. It’s heartbreaking and hilarious and I’ve loved this team from the first ooga shaka. A blast for 10 years 👏

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is, more than ever, Star Wars as a stoner comedy. Lovable weirdos, big Marvel action and goofy jokes. But nothing can prepare you for all the emotions. Rocket Raccoon’s origin story is beautiful and heart-wrenching.

Can confirm that I shed a tear during #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 . And that I would very happily watch an Adam Warlock solo movie. Full review (and interviews with the cast) coming very soon. pic.twitter.com/JqzoybOHQx
