The thrilling adventures, action-packed moments, and amazing visuals in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series are only part of the reason for the franchise's worldwide success. People can't get enough of the Guardians, and it's not hard to see why: with Baby Groot's adorableness, Rocket's humour, the Guardians' touching togetherness, and the blossoming romance between Gamora and Star-Lord, the long-awaited third Guardians of the Galaxy film, Vol. 3, opened in theatres, and audience members are overjoyed with joy.

Here are five reasons why we think this superhero action movie is a must-see for everyone on the fence:

The humour is intergalactic

Even in the midst of life-or-death scenarios like battles against hazardous intergalactic criminals, the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films were full of smart wit and humour. The group that Star-Lord has assembled is full of snark, clever comedy, and more than a little bit of indirect shame. The teaser gave us some awkward moments between Peter and Nebula. Vol. 3 looks like it will be as funny, if not funnier, than the previous volumes. We'll go out on a limb and claim that, of all the Marvel hero teams, the Guardians are the most hilarious.

Quite a few unexpected elements

If you've seen any of the Avengers films, you know that Star-Lord's greatest tragedy was losing Gamora, the love of his life. However, Vol. 3's teaser trailer suggests that not all is as it seems. Baby Groot has also matured, and Nebula has found a new home with the Guardians. Not knowing about these recent plot twists in the Guardians' story would be a huge mistake.

Rocket's sardonic sense of humour and uber-cool gangster attitude have been constants throughout the films. His current demeanour, however, is in sharp contrast to the harsh and gloomy one he endured at the hands of his captors and exploiters in the past. His life story, from childhood imprisonment under a ruthless captor to becoming a mercenary and ultimately saving the universe from Thanos, takes up a sizable amount of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. See the movie to learn about Rocket's background.

The Guardians of the Galaxy film series is dear to our hearts, and director James Gunn deserves much of the credit. His run with Marvel ended with the Guardians, which is a shame. He assures us that, like the first two films, this one will be full of exciting action and adventure while also being rather funny. It's been said that this film will make you cry in more ways than one.

What a "Marvel"-lous way to go!

In the end, even the best things must end, and for the Guardians of the Galaxy saga, that time has arrived with Vol. 3. Marvel devotees and others interested in superheroes should check it out. Expect the film to conclude the storylines of its characters neatly and satisfactorily. Don't miss out on saying goodbye to the Guardians for the last time!

Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 looks like it will be a great film that will take viewers on an exciting and emotional journey. The memorable cast, impressive special effects, touching story, and satisfying finale are all reasons to watch. This film calls out to be seen in the most cinematic way possible, on the biggest screen possible.
