Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 Review: 6 Ups & 4 Downs

3. It's Got One Of The MCU's Best Action Sequences

While most of Vol. 3's set-pieces are pretty standard fare for the series, there is one undeniable stand-out action sequence that ranks among the MCU's very best.

Without giving too much away, the scene takes place in a long hallway and unfolds as one single, unbroken take - albeit clearly aided by some digital post-production stitching.

All the same, Gunn slickly, seamlessly vaults from one Guardian to the next as they kick ass and take names along this hallway, in what's one of the most inspired action beats the MCU has seen in a damn long time.

Needless to say, with this likely being Gunn's last ever MCU project as he becomes the Godfather of Warner Bros.' new DC Universe, his visual inventiveness will be sorely missed.
