'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' Reactions Arrive Online

The social media embargo has just been lifted for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

That means that thoughts and opinions of the film from critics and other entertainment journalists are just starting to pour in.

Check out what some of our peers are already saying about the latest entry in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe down below!

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 is a cosmic success – the perfect ending to what will easily go down as Marvel’s best trilogy to date. Gunn was not kidding about the heartbreak our heroes had in store! His idiosyncratic action, humor & music cues are what elevate this swan song. pic.twitter.com/FRFm1SAHNT

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Vol. 3 is just wonderful. An overstuffed, hellzapoppin’ finale that manages to be deeply emotional and incredibly fun. It’s also a moving exploration of animal rights. I loved it so much. 🦝🛸🪐 pic.twitter.com/RlwN9uvbR4

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 just destroyed me. Everything I hoped for and then some.

The first film became my favorite MCU movie back in 2014, and now this one locks it in as my favorite series within the franchise.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is probably the best MCU film since Endgame and a satisfying conclusion to their journey. It has the full range of emotions: from laughs to heart break to victory and so much more. It reminded me of what it used to feel like watching a new MCU film. pic.twitter.com/avgv4oK5yZ

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 aspires for sweeping emotion, gut busting laughs & thrilling action. It sometimes succeeds but as a send off for all of these characters, it feels strangely uneven & anticlimactic. Features the best makeup & visual effects of the trilogy. #GotGVol3 pic.twitter.com/IgOYEvbAPX

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 is full of stakes, emotion & feels like a solid ending (good thing!). The production design & set pieces are some of Marvel’s strongest. It’s long, but the theme of found family is & will always be it’s strength. I’ll miss these misfits 💙 #GotGVol3 pic.twitter.com/inK2g6rfAi

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is for the freaks, for the weirdos. It’s also heart wrenching. In the end, it’s a triumph of science fiction. James Gunn does not miss. #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 #GotGVol3 pic.twitter.com/3DGx0bYgfQ

It’s been such a joy to watch the evolution of the #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy . Which makes it all that much harder to know that their future as reached the infinite blue sky. The possibilities of this franchise are endless, but this family will never be the same again.

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is endearing, heartfelt, hilarious, BADASS (an incredible one shot) but most of all everything you want from a finale I cried, I laughed, & I feel completley satisfied! @JamesGunn has delivered the perfect finale & one of the best trilogies of all time pic.twitter.com/mJoxJXrVEH

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is full of heart and brought me to tears on multiple occasions. @JamesGunn making it Rocket’s story pays off big. It’s not what you’re necessarily expecting, but it really does land. A perfect ending, too. @Guardians #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 pic.twitter.com/KdLhNUZdj6

Simply incredible. I can’t imagine #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 being a more perfect ending to James Gunn’s trilogy. Every payoff, every emotion, every character journey. It’s about as good as Marvel movies get. Funny, poignant, exciting, I want to watch it again right now. pic.twitter.com/1d1f6ksQaM

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is a special MCU entry. These characters continue to show growth, and this finale ties so much together. Fans will feel so many things when the credits hit, but it will be hard not to smile. This movie will bring joy and satisfaction to many. pic.twitter.com/bTPQldy5uO

After so much superhero movie fatigue, #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is a refreshing & unexpected joy to watch. It carries tons of emotional weight, laughs & action. There were a few moments that surprised me in mixed ways, but it’s a beautiful tribute to friends who are like family. pic.twitter.com/T76Z83uUZj

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 is a mess? It has far too many characters and a frustrating tone shift. Your typical things in these films work like the soundtrack, Bautista, and fight sequences, but it felt unfulfilling for a finale. Easily the weakest of the trilogy. pic.twitter.com/A1ircIaL07

Last we saw the Guardians was during Thor: Love and Thunder, where Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Drax (Dave Bautista), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), Rocket (Cooper), and Groot (Vin Diesel) were joined by Thor (Chris Hemsworth) as they search for Gamora (Zoe Saldana), who disappeared following the final battle with Thanos and his army. Will Poulter (The Revenant) also joins the cast as Adam Warlock, with Peacemaker star Chukwudi Iwuji as the High Evolutionary.

In Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 our beloved band of misfits are looking a bit different these days. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will hit theaters on May 5, 2023.
