Guardian of the Galaxy 3 review:

WION film critic Kshitij Mohan Rawat called the film the best MCU movie in years. In the review, he wrote: ‘I liked Poulter’s Warlock as an almost all-powerful man with a childlike mind. He will obviously come to play a bigger role later, but in GotG 3 he appears and then disappears for a few scenes. The action in GotG 3 is awesome. There’s a hallway scene that takes place in slow motion, and it’s up there with the MCU’s best action scenes. Despite some minor flaws, GotG 3 is a great conclusion to the trilogy. Even its heavy runtime didn’t feel long at all since the film is plot-heavy. It’s an exciting and heartfelt adventure well worth your time.” Read the full review here.
