Walt

Guardians 3 is a decent movie that rounds out a successful run by James Gunn with Marvel before he attacks his new job with Peter Safran as Co-Chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios.

Compared to recent MCU releases, however, it’s a rousing success. Matt was referring to the lackluster quality and box office performance in the release in Marvel movies…
