Why watch this film?
Directed again by James Gunn, who now also functions as a director for DC in theaters, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the finale —at least theoretically— of this alignment of Guardians in theaters. Curiously, however, the focus is not on Peter Quill, the group leader portrayed by Chris Pratt, but on Rocket, the chatty raccoon played by Bradley Cooper. It is he who concentrates all the story around him when the film starts with Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), a powerful Marvel character, going after the talking animal. Rocket gets hurt and then the group must investigate the raccoon's past to save him —and, with it, the audience finally learns his story. Taking into account that this is a farewell, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is quite emotional. Starting from the union of all the characters of the group around the injured character, Gunn works elements of the script to talk about friendship, family and the importance of having people by your side. In addition to a considerable amount of footage —two and a half hours— devoted to showing a dystopian experiment with animals. The film closes the circle of James Gunn's vision for these characters. Beginnings, middle and an end that moves and entertains fans of this so different, unexpected and beloved group.

The Suicide Squad
The first 'Suicide Squad', released in 2016, was so controversial that even the director, David Ayer, went public to make it clear that the movie cut is not the vision he had for that story. Five years later it seems that Warner Bros. has learned the lesson: they gave total freedom for another filmmaker, James Gunn (from 'Guardians of the Galaxy'), to produce a feature film for the DC anti-hero group without any limitation from the studio executives. Far away also from Disney's reins and the need to do something more "family", the director goes to the limit of violence and acid humor in 'The Suicide Squad' - which, if it avoids the "2" in the title to avoid being seen as a continuation of a critical failure, it is also not exactly a reboot. What worked in the first movie is there, including Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman's Rick Flag and Viola Davis's Amanda Waller. To them, a cast of weight joins, which has names like Idris Elba, Jai Courtney, Michael Rooker, John Cena, Alice Braga and Sylvester Stallone, all in hilarious and shocking performances. The script is full of ups and downs, and boredom is certainly a word that does not match the story - after all, there is no shortage of action. Those who enjoy the mix between superheroes, sarcasm and anarchy, in the style of 'Deadpool', will love it.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
Some will remember that, before becoming one of the biggest fantasy movie franchises, Star Wars had a Christmas special, so hard to watch today that it has a mythical and at the same time questionable reputation. Following - and somewhat parodying - this line, Marvel Studios presents 'The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special', a television special with less than an hour of duration with a Christmas themed story. Here we resume the story after 'Avengers: Endgame', with Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) sad for the absence of Gamora (Zoe Saldana). To cheer him up, the Guardians decide to go to Earth, their home planet, to find the perfect gift. Thanks to the funny chemistry between Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Drax (Dave Bautista), it is an extremely funny production to enjoy with the family, whether you are a fan or not of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" picks up right after the events in the first movie, expanding the story of these unlikely Marvel heroes. Director James Gunn keeps the fun and action of the previous film alive in a script about the relationship between fathers and sons. Special highlights include a star-studded cast and plenty of special appearances, including Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Rob Zombie, David Hasselhoff and many others - in addition to the returns of course, of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper and an amazing Michael Rooker.
Guardians of the Galaxy
This time, Marvel Studios took a risky bet: they picked up a relatively unknown comic book team to star a blockbuster movie. The result is one of the most entertaining films from the House of Ideas, which perfectly mixes humour and action. The trick was to make the team look like a dysfunctional family, with which it is easy to identify. Total credit to director James Gunn - who also added a nostalgic 1980s vibe, mostly due to the soundtrack (which later became a Hollywood trend). Unmissable for both fans and non-fans of the studio.
Action
The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is one of those films that seem designed to have it all and thus please the broadest audience possible. Based on the 1980s series of the same name and directed by David Leitch (former stunt double and now director of films like Bullet Train and Deadpool 2), the movie follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a down-on-his-luck stunt double who must investigate the mysterious disappearance of actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as this would ruin the first movie of his beloved, filmmaker Jody (Emily Blunt). And the major problem with this movie is that it tries to be everything: romantic comedy, action comedy, Hollywood satire, crime mystery, and more, hampered by the magnitude of its own ambitions, as well as an overloaded and unclear script. You can enjoy it as an insight into the world behind action cinema, and for the charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
