Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 might just be the best film the MCU has released. I don't know if it is my favorite, but it's definitely top 3.....the other two spots being the first two Guardians films. This film is an emotional roller coaster, from start to end, and might be the film or TV series that shook me the most since Lost. It's sad, it's joyous, it's coming of age, it's James Gunn being James Gunn and this is a perfect swan song for him in Marvel and a perfect swan song for these characters before he heads to DC. The tone is darker and thankfully so, it's like Gunn made Hitler in Beyond Thunderdome with dashes of Alien. The soundtrack is the best of the trilogy(Flaming Lips and Faith No More both in a summer blockbuster?). The Guardians films have always been the MCU flicks that even MCU haters enjoy, and if you have only seen the first two, the only others you really would need to see is Infinity War, Endgame, and the Guardians Holiday Special. Speaking of Infinity War the stakes here feel the highest they have in the MCU since Thanos.
