The first social media reactions for Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 are finally out. The first press screening for the film was just held at a red-carpet gala event at Disneyland Paris. Unsurprisingly the first reactions to the project are all extremely positive, specifically praising the films emotional weight, comedic timing, and exciting action, with most reactions sighting Bradley Cooper’s performance as rocket, and Chukwudi Iwuji as the High Evolutionary as highlights. Most of these first reactions are in French due to the screening being in Paris, so the reactions have been translated.
The film is described as being “The last ride” for the guardians with Director James Gunn stated that this is his last time with the Guardians. So a lot of emotional weight is expected, and in classic Guardians fashion, some great music, fun action, and perfect comedic timing.

Amazing first reactions
Overall, all the reactions so far are positive. With no reaction as of yet mentioning anything truly negative about the film. Most first reactions to these films skew positive, but it is still rare to see a situation where all the reactions are positive. The reactions note the films brutality, action, and specifically the emotional core of the film, while also mentioning how great the humor is. The reactions make it clear that Marvel Studios and James Gunn have cooked up something special with this film. Marvel Studios’ confidence in the film was further seen earlier today as 25 free early fan screenings for the film were announced for next weekend, an extreme rarity for Marvel Studios, making it clear that they know that the reactions to the film are going to skew positive. This presents amazing news for MCU fans who have been rather disappointed by the last few MCU projects.

Why only invite press to pre screenings? Because the studios own them. To get REAL first impressions they should invite random movie goers.
