Hideo Kojima Shares His Review of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3
Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima has shared a little review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on Twitter after having watched it. The video game legend is known for the wild stories that he tells in his games, fans love his storytelling style, and when it comes to his thoughts on the latest Marvel movie, here’s what he said:
“Went to see Guardians of the Galaxy VOLUME 3 at IMAX 3D theater. Boy, I can’t believe it’s been already 9 years since the 1st! Always enjoy the high speed dolly shot. 1st was about Peter and his mom, encountering looser friends, and the 2nd was about Peter and his dad, bond between members and growths, and this time is about the past of the rocket and each member’s growth and future. The perfect structure for the trilogy.”
It was also a perfect end to the trilogy and as you’ve heard, the movie packs quite the punch of emotions. You are not going to walk out of the theater without shedding a tear… unless you don’t have a soul.
Franchise star Chris Pratt shared his experience shooting very emotional moments in the movie, saying: "Well, our subconscious does not know if we're acting or not acting, and I did whatever techniques a craftsperson uses to create a real emotion. That wasn't one of those things where I couldn't get there emotionally and so I was faking it with outside-in acting and adjusting my face in a certain way. I was really, really in it, and there's an unpacking process to that.
He added, "Everyone goes through shit in their lives, and if you have good mental health, you'll compartmentalize it and pack it away in a good way. But when you unpack it to get somewhere, emotionally, on camera, your mind doesn't go, 'Oh, that was for fake. You're good.' You have to walk away from that, and it doesn't go away for a while until you do the work to put it back. So, for me, that was a complicated moment, but also a complicated night afterward."
Pratt also talked about his emotional farewell to the franchise, saying: “It was really emotional for so many reasons that it would take too long in this interview to even get into. But it just was emotional. It was a lot of gratitude around the fact that James Gunn actually directed it and was able to do that. Just grateful that he even gave me the job to begin with.”
Pratt went on to say: “It’s been an incredible ten years, so to wrap it up in this way, it’s a little bit like your last day of school when you’re a senior. You’re so excited that it’s over, but at the same time, you don’t know if you’re going to see any of your friends ever again. Some of them are going off to college, and some of them are leaving, and some are going in the Army. It’s like entering a new phase, and a new chapter of your life. It’s the turning of a page.”
In Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 “our beloved band of misfits are looking a bit different these days. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will hit theaters on May 5th. You’ve only got a day left! In the meantime, check out my review for the Marvel movie if you haven’t already.
