Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 | New Trailer

Seems like these movies have really dipped in quality and popularity since the amazing Captain Marvel in 2019. All this trailer seemed to hype up is that a character or characters are probably going to die, so you have to watch it out of respect or something.

It feels like Gunn and the crew want to give the franchise a big heartfelt send off, but it doesn't feel like they earned it with how goofy volume 2 was after the emotional ending of the first. But I'll give it a shot, the story can be redeemed but characters are likely going to die for it.

Marvel movies are very formulaic now, and Gunn is probably to blame or take credit for it. He mixed humor and action in GotG 1 and it worked. Now that is all they want to do.

I thought volume 2 had a more emotional ending than the first one. Really enjoyed both 1 and 2.

No one, certainly not me, suggested that it wouldn't be. It just sounds like you didn't follow.

The first one was probably my favorite Marvel film. The second one................eh, it was ok. I'll probably wait until this is available via streaming.

The second movie is one of the worst movies ive ever seen. Just one joke after another. Ive seen comedies that treat their characters with more sincerity than that movie. James Gunn can slag off.
Oy. Reviews are coming in and they are not great. I saw two and both seem to think the movie is too grim and won't be the revival Marvel and Disney were hoping for.
I loved loved the first one, was ok with the second one. This I may watch. I do think I have a fatigue with this superhero stuff.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Marvel is a juggernaut, not trying to be a fanboy but marvel keeps their foot on the gas pedal, one of the most efficient film studios, getting 1 marvel movie a year.

I keep forgetting it's coming out. Doesn't feel like there's a buzz for it. Like a lot of people, I've definitely felt that Marvel burn out recently. But I thought that with GOTG being one of the bigger series that this would be generating more hype than something like Quantumania. It'll probably still do better than that but it definitely feels like things have diminished.

Tracking seems very soft, doesn't it? Projected well under GotG2's OW. If it hits the same as Quantumania it'll be doing well... but if it goes under (very possible) and has a similar second week drop off, then we really could be looking at the end of the superhero gravy train.

I can't muster any excitement for this. After end game it's been loki and moon knight that I've cared about.
As much as I like Kang I didn't bother to see ant man.

Why pay $25 per person for an IMAX ticket when the IMAX version will be streaming on Disney+ in a month?

Yep. Especially if the movie seems like just another 'episode' in the increasingly poor MCU series.

I’m excited for this one. Gunn is one of the stronger directors in the MCU. Happy to see him moving to DC. Agree that the MCU has been in a big decline lately. Not looking forward to any other Marvel movies after this one. After the trailer for The Marvels, they should toss that one in the bin like Batgirl. Antman 3 was okay. Don’t get me started on the last Thor.
Hype train is strong for the Flash.

Flash is likely to have a very strong OW thanks to Keaton... but is equally likely to have a catastrophic second week drop off, when word of mouth gets out as to what the movie is actually like. All the plot leaks appear to be true, and it doesn't make for a good movie.

The movie directly sets up Secret Wars.
The movie ends with an Incursion (what Hickman’s Secret Wars is the result of), colliding universes and leaving Monica stranded in a different universe.

The reviews are actually hyping me up quite a bit. I didnt think that was possible at this point for Marvel. Sounds like a really interesting movie.

Been hearing otherwise on the reviews, but perhaps your right. Guess we will see pretty soon.

I’ve been doing my best to stay away from trailers and news. Feel like we go into movies knowing everything these days.

Deadline now has this coming in with only $110 million for it's opening domestic weekend, which barely puts it over Ant Man 3.

I'm actually interested in watching this some day. But I'm glad Marvel is going down.
Nothing but good will come from this.
