You know you’ve made it when both Marvel and DC want your input, James Gunn is in a hallowed position straddling both sides of the comics divide. But at least so far it is Marvel that has had his best work, which is great news forDisney+subscribers. One of the reasons that it’s among thebest streaming servicesis its exclusive rights to the best movies and series from Marvel, and one of the best recent Marvel flicks is coming toDisney+ on August 2nd.

TheGuardians of the Galaxyseries has always gone its own way and the third instalment, titledGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3is another brilliantly unique take on the sometimes all too formulaic superhero genre. With a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, I’m not the only one who feels that way.

Even when the quality of Marvel movies has fluctuated, the Guardianshave been a constant source of humour, heart and banging soundtracks. The cast has grown to include an ensemble of some of the brightest actors around and the story isn’t afraid to take risks.

This final movie in the trilogy brings a real focus to everyone’s favourite non-raccoon, Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and introduces some characters that comic book fans have been dying to see, like Adam Warlock. I won’t spoil anything but if you’ve grown attached to any of the regular crew, it’s best to keep tissues handy. For me the highlight of the Guardians films will always be Dave Bautista’s Drax the Destroyer, he is the absolute master of deadpan, but all the characters are given the chance to shine at some point.

Despite some heavier moments, this movie is perfectly balanced (as all things should be) and feels like a worthy antidote to some of Marvel’s post-Avengers: Endgame struggles to make its movies feel impactful. If you need some more Guardians afterwards, why not try theexcellent game?
