This shouldn't even be compared to the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films ... The first was genius the second very good ... This thing is just a total mess ... The writing is dreadful, there's no flow, there NO LAUGHS, even the colours and characters are muted ... If you had set out to kill a "franchise", this is certainly how you would go about it ... Its grim folks ... It seems all the characters are suffering from depression ... And its just a load of scenes ( none of them memorable ) shoved together to kill time ... NO JOY ... NO EXCITMENT ... NO MISCHIEF ... CLUELESS WRITERS ... BADLY DIRECTED ... NO REDEMING QUALITIES WHATSOEVER ... AN INSULT TO THE WORK OF ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE FIRST TWO FILMS ... FLUSH IT ... ITS POO.

I'm sorry but this is just dreadful... There's nothing in this dreadfully overlong thing that you didn't see in the original ... The CGI is the same ( no its not any better ) than in most big hollywood films these days ... And is like DUH from the onset ... Bad mankind ( we are ... But with all those millions couldn't have all the people involved in this come up with a new story ... Suggestion, start with an alien race other than man and technology we have no understanding of ) flops down on poor Pandora again with its usual subtlety .... Fire .... Explosions ... Crying Smurfs ... And then it goes on ,,, And on .... And on ... The only way this could be really exciting is if a young child who hadn't seen the first one saw this in the cinema ... I certainly won't be going anywhere near any more of this nonsense.

The only reason this movie exists is to keep Cronenberg's career alive ... Who could have thought anyone would give a damn about any of the characters involved this farce ... Mortensen does what he can with a role of an idiot ... It wants to be William Boroughs for the 21st century and ends up being a carry on film with no humour ... The rest of the cast may have been planks of wood ... Its all just dark and gloomy and VACUOUS ... Its "points" ( if indeed it had any ) do not get communicated in any way ... Like all these older directors of cult films ( don't misunderstand me, I am nearly as old ) they are living on past glory and this is an ideal example, even though I would never have rated Cronenberg as a particularly good director, just challenging ... And this isn't even that.
