How Does Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Stack Up?

Mike Ryan from Uproxx spoke to Bautista about the tone and goals for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The former WWE Superstar never shied away from saying it’s the best movie of the three. A lot of fans agree with him so far.

“It’s very emotional. It’s emotional, it’s dark, and it’s deep and it’s inspiring. I think this is going to be a special… Obviously, I haven’t seen it and I always feel like that every time,” Bautista claimed. “I thought Guardians was going to be the best, or Guardians 2 was going to be the best. And after reading the script and after being on this film and filming it, it’s just so much better.”

“It’s just so much better, so much deeper. It’s so much more personal. And there’s such a massive inspiring message to this film,” Bautista said. “But I think it’s going to be the best Guardians. I think unlike a lot of franchises, we’re leaving with our best. We haven’t been watered down as we’ve gone along, but I think we’re leaving with our best film.”

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is in theaters right now.
