All one needs to enjoy Vol. 3 is a love of the Guardians themselves.

If you come for action, you will not be disappointed, with so many set pieces awash with bullets, fists, guns, and humor.

Breezy, buoyant, and populated with a charming cast, writer/director Nida Manzoor’s martial arts-fueled action/comedy is awash in pop and literary references.

The franchise’s stylized visuals and slick gun-fu choreography remain as strong as ever, and more significantly, the sequel commits to topping itself at every turn.

A long-winded, twist-heavy espionage thriller, starring and directed by Lee Jung-jae, with solid action in the middle.

Funny, tender, and surprising, this debut by Filipino writer/director Martika Ramirez Escobar is the definition of brimming with life.

This ambitious sequel channels the fallout of Chadwick Boseman’s death into a meaningful, almost meta, reflection of the post-Phase Three Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With pomp, pageantry, and pulp, director Robert Eggers has mashed up the bare bones of Hamlet’s revenge plot with Norse mythology.

A father and son rivalry set in the brutal world of mixed martial arts fighting.
