When "Guardians of the Galaxy" was born in 2014, it injected a new fashion style into the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)-American nostalgic pop hits, various weird galactic species and base shapes, and Grand Theft Ship-style American adventurer story. Although the actors among them can only be regarded as "sub-stars" in variety shows in terms of remuneration, they are not really big-name superstars, but the overall lively and lively film style, a large number of special effects and rich visual effects like animation, still hold up. The scene where the word "Galaxy" should be.
For Marvel, this is a small and medium investment in exchange for good returns. Not only has it achieved great success at the box office, it has also accumulated a good reputation. The first IMDb score was 8.0, although the second one dropped slightly, but as the finale of the "trilogy", the current IMDb score of this film is 8.2, and the praise from all parties even exceeds Started the first part of the style.
Generally speaking, this film basically conforms to the current main slogan - "After "Reunion 4", Marvel is the best".
The color of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" series has always been extremely strong, with a sense of surrealism of co-starring real people and animation.
This can be regarded as a shot in the arm for Marvel's MCU layout in the past two years.
In 2019, "Avengers 4" earned nearly $2.8 billion in box office worldwide, and then the global film industry fell into abnormal fluctuations due to the arrival of the epidemic. Although in 2021, Marvel Pictures still launched four films, "Black Widow", "Shang-Chi", "The Eternal Family", and "Spider-Man: No Return to Heroes", three of which are innovative, and in the Last year and this year, "Doctor Strange 2", "Thor 4", "Black Panther 2", "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Frenzy" and other works were released, which can be regarded as returning to the normal production rhythm, but from the market feedback In terms of, Audiences have grown tired of superhero movies that are more or less the same. Most of the IMDb ratings are only 6 to 7 points. Among them, there is probably only "Spider-Man: No Return for Heroes", which has a high score of 8.2 on IMDb and a total global box office of US$1.9 billion, which is a surprise. Others are only considered to have basically met expectations in business.
In terms of the big plan right now, Marvel is just at the point where it has just finished the fourth phase of the MCU "Multiverse" and entered the fifth phase. And two years later, it will really enter the fifth and sixth part of "Avengers", the highlight of the sixth stage. However, the actor who played the villain "Kang the Conqueror" had news of domestic violence not long ago, which more or less affected word of mouth.
At this time, the launch of "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" somewhat allowed the audience to regain some confidence in "superhero movies".
Director James Gunn and "Star-Lord." The director is almost 60 years old, but he still has a funny feeling.
And for Marvel's rivals DC and Warner Bros., it might be a good thing too.
Because DC has poached James Gunn, the director of the "Guardians of the Galaxy Series" from Marvel, and given him higher authority, from a single film director to the helm of the entire DCU (DC Movie Universe). Although the global box office of "Suicide Squad X: All Members Assemble" (2021), which DC and "Guide" cooperated for the first time, is less than 170 million US dollars at the global box office, even Marvel's worst "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Frenzy" "Not even half of it, but because of the good reputation, "Rolling Guide" was promoted through job-hopping. The latest "Superman" directed by him is on the way. I believe that with his ability, he will directly compete with the new generation of "Avengers" from his old club in two years, which will save DC a lot of reputation in the film market.
The last job that "Rolling Guide" left in Marvel is this "Guardians of the Galaxy 3". Because he has a good friendship in the company before and after, whether the superheroes of Marvel and DC can join forces to appear on the big screen in the future has always been a topic of discussion at the reception of the film industry executives. It's just that Marvel is still earning money, so it's actually not very happy to share it with its poor friend DC. But in terms of business, who can decide? Since the director can change jobs, the opponent can also cooperate, everything is possible.
The main actors of "Guardians of the Galaxy", because the appearances in the film are particularly exaggerated, see their real images, but they will feel a little strange.
Perhaps it is to practice in advance for the work of the DCU, and to be able to shoot Superman vs. Batman better in the future. Perhaps it is the experience and summary of the previous two "Guardians of the Galaxy", and the relationship between the characters has also reached a mature level. In this film, the "Rolling Guide" handles the group drama between the characters quite well, with exquisitely designed lines going hand in hand, humorous and reasonable bickering and contradictions, and an emotional treatment that is not forced at the end-the whole The temperament of the ending part suddenly changed the image of "Guardians of the Galaxy" which has not been serious as a whole, and became serious and sincere, which also drew a considerable conclusion to the whole trilogy.
For the audience, the ending of this film will remind people of some shadows of "Avengers 4", and the story of superheroes has become quite emotional-after the original fierce battle, the great ideal will be flat , friendship is the most worthy of our nostalgia and cherished emotion.
Most of the film is a highly colored comedy, but the ending feels sincere and touching. It's a solid end to a "trilogy".
In fact, the so-called "Guardians of the Galaxy" were a collection of strange "alien species" in the galaxy from the very beginning. Two of them, Rocket and Groot, aren't even "people" at all, they're purely animated figures. Although such a combination is lively, it is difficult to show the subtle emotions of "real actors" communicating with each other.
But "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" obviously puts the "friendliness line" in the most important position in the arrangement compared with the previous two, and spent a lot of effort to shape the communication and interaction between team members. Even among the purely animated characters, there are many separate scenes in this film, and the delicate emotional description will make the audience feel deep. This is something that did not appear in the previous two films.
The main plot of this film is that the team members went straight to the enemy's base camp in order to save the injured "Rocket", and fought against the big boss "Supreme Evolution". As the creator of "Rocket Raccoon", "Supreme Evolution" has a perverted and fanatical pursuit of life evolution, and for this reason, all kinds of "imperfect" lives must be exterminated. And the "Guardians of the Galaxy", which symbolizes American liberal ideals, drive a spaceship like Noah's Ark and try their best to save many endangered lives. In the film, you can see many jokes told by chickens and ducks between different species, and you can also see cute performances of huge monsters and cute pets. Compared with the previous two films, it has more details and constant flipping, just like a talk show focusing on regional and cultural differences, and some stalks are repeatedly used in analogy. The final effect can be regarded as quite exquisitely designed, reflecting the theme of fraternity of "one universe".
The dog left quite a bit of drama in the film. Considering that "she" doesn't actually have much appearance time, it can be seen that the film pays great attention to the role of each supporting role in the group play in the details.
As for the handling of the relationship between the characters in the team, the film has a new character "Adam Warlock" added, which continues the previous "Guardians of the Galaxy" model of not being acquainted with each other. As for the emotions between old characters, the repeated emotional entanglement between the protagonist "Star Lord" and his ex-girlfriend "Gamora", and the CP treatment of "Drax" and "Mantis Girl", even those who have vague memories of the previous work The audience can still get the interest of the characters that the director wants from the dialogue combination of each scene. These more explicit dialogue combinations, like the sitcom "Friends", quickly created the conflicting and fettered emotions between different characters in a comedy atmosphere. Compared with the embarrassing and deliberate laughs in many superhero movies, the comedy points of this film are obviously more delicately designed, and many places are the kind of comedy that can really make people feel funny.
The addition of the villain "Supreme Evolution" and the new character "Adam Warlock" added some lively confrontation elements to the plot.
In addition to these plots, it is also worth mentioning the imaginative art style of the film as a whole. In order to strengthen the grotesque features of the galaxy species, many places have unusually distinctive designs, even bolder than the first two. For example, an alien planet with the characteristics of a living body looks like a disgusting human organ enlarged several million times. For the "roll guide" who always likes "shit, pee and fart" jokes, I am afraid it is based on the premise of movie classification The largest scale possible. And all kinds of "pseudo-human beings" on "Anti-Earth" who look like humans, but can't tell what they are, can make people feel the madness of imagination. These unique shapes have left a deep impression on the audience that is both weird and funny.
Just looking at the shape of the alien planet, it even feels a bit weird and terrifying. Coupled with the twisted "space walk" of the protagonists, it becomes funny in an instant.
The same weird "counter-Earth" residents, because their performances are a bit cute, also go from mutation to comedy.
Overall, although the film has a length of 2 and a half hours, it does not make the audience feel slow at all. Overwhelming visual impact continues to flood the screen, and even most of the pictures composed of animation special effects will be more varied than other realistic-based superhero films. The dialogue conflicts between a large number of characters are always advancing in a fast and delicate comedy, and from time to time there will be true feelings of comrades-in-arms between the characters, which makes the audience moved by surprise. Although these are the usual routines of commercial films, but in the overall rhythm In terms of advancement, the film always presents unexpected changes. Horror, weirdness, tension, warmth, and constantly jumping back and forth, reflecting the ingenious sense of design that does not show mountains and dews.
For the Marvel blockbusters of the past few years, this is a movie that can give back to the audience's expectations, rather than another disappointing assembly line operation.
