Completely agree with all of this. High Evolutionary was interesting at first, but after a certain point he just becomes your average maniacal villain.Just came back (UK).
By far the weakest of the Guardians films.
The Rocket stuff was good, butGunn didn't have the guts to kill him off for a payoff from all the set up.
Alternate Gamora was annoying to watch and they never did any resolution for her and Quill.
Adam Warlock was wasted and after the setup from the previous film, he's just kind of there. The High Evolutionary was a cringe villain and all he does is scream from the second half of the film onwards.
The visuals were washed out and the beautiful color palette from Vol.1 and 2 was greatly missed. It looked like every other current MCU film with that grey-ish style that missed any personality.
John Murphy's score was bland and the only memorable piece was Tyler Bates' motif from the first film, which was very rarely used. Reminded me of what Natalie Holt did with Kenobi, replacing all the great themes with generic noise, with good themes used only here and there to remind of much better composer work.
Gunn at least nailed the ending, but the film overall missed the spark that the first film (and partially the 2nd) had.
Also, this had some of the worst mid and post-credit scene in an MCU film. Complete waste of time.
6/10.
Also, this may’ve had the worst humor of the three films for me. There are scenes in this movie where the joke is just people screaming at each other and it was so annoying.
I think the thing I liked most about it was the production design.
