The acting was pretty solid, and we do see unexpected team-ups, unfortunately the action scenes are just as somber as the tone of the film itself. You won't get too many chills or shocking moments. The entire life of this story hangs on the opening revelation but doesn't add much more to it. Overall, a decent film that you might watch on a Tuesday afternoon.

Cried three times, laughed even more. Rocket, the unsung hero of this trilogy, ties beautifully together the story of the Guardians. When they created the first movie, I'm certain they had no idea how the story would come to an end. But it could not have ended more poignantly and on a more deserving character. The whole franchise is the story of Rocket the Raccoon. Also, great music and I appreciate how they handled the romance of Quill and Gamora. A very refreshing take.

One of the best films of 2023! I just loved it so much. James Gunn is one of my favorite Directors and the magic he brings to any film is amazing, and this epic finale to his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy... my god if it isn't perfect! The emotions I felt during this film are not unlike when saying goodbye to an old friend, and it shows how good Gunn is at this. Rocket Raccoon is given a fantastic arc and Star Lord gets, maybe not the happy ending we wanted, but he definitely deserved something like this. Even Gamora's ending, whilst maybe not going the way it should've went (but that wasn't Gunn's fault that was if anything Infinity War's fault), was still so emotional and just worked. Thank you James Gunn. You have given us the perfect ending you could for these characters. I cannot wait to see what he does with Superman and the rest of DC.

An extraordinarily powerful and emotional examination of greed, corruption and exploitation, well outside Scorsese's familiar New York stamping ground, but dealing with themes common to all his films. It is stunningly well designed and photographed, and features great performances from DiCaprio, De Niro, newcomer Gladstone and Jesse Plemons. The movie is long but needs to be in order to tell the whole story. Worth the 3 1/2 hours. It really does deserve all the hype, Lily Gladstone is so captivating. I am sad Leo didn't get an Oscar nod for this but happy Robert de Niro is being recognized for his amazing performance.

This artfully scripted and performed movie reveals an unknown dark side of American history. Performances by Lily Gladstone added an authenticity that swept me into the time and its events. DiCaprio was also flawless. If you are looking for light entertainment, this movie is not for you. If you are looking for a masterpiece that will stand the test of time, educate and elevate your perception. Go for it you won't regret it. This movie will tatoo your soul.
