On Twitter, Lily la Fourmi said that Guardians 3 was “a very complex story but it left me feeling awesome.” They said that “my heart is full and broken at the same time, it was a lot to process.” Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwell called the film “a brilliant end to a brilliant trilogy,” praising its humor and emotional storytelling. “Everybody gets their stand-out moment,” they wrote, “…yet the focus is right only telling a satisfying end for the Guardians. Gonna miss them.”
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is a brilliant end to a brilliant trilogy. It’s very funny, emotional and everybody gets their stand-out moment. Will Poulter’s Warlock is a terrific addition, yet the focus is rightly on telling a satisfying end for the Guardians. Gonna miss them. pic.twitter.com/ot6L67Q9Cf

Emil Franchi said that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 “completes the perfect MCU trilogy,” and that it’s heartbreaking and hilarious.” They also said they rated the movie a 10/10. However, not everyone was universally positive. MovieZine’s Alexander Kardelo described the film as “Star Wars as a stoner comedy” and particularly praised Rocket Raccoon’s origin story. However, they also said that the film is a “6 or maybe a 7” because the film is too reminiscent of previous films in the MCU in its jokes and action.
