Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3
Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) rallies his team to defend the universe and one of their own, a mission that could mean the end of the Guardians if not successful. In true Guardians fashion, Gunn and his intrepid crew decide their legacy is to go down swinging to the very end, and that will always be both intensely entertaining and unforgettably endearing. It is intense and grabs hold of the audience’s emotions from the beginning to the end. Gunn’s screenplay takes what we know and intricately weaves in backstory while enhancing the universe.
