Finally got round to seeing Guardians 3… What a waste of 2 1/2 hours that was. I enjoyed the first 2, but 3 was just terrible. The “story” is awful. Numerous, cheesy, cliché bits thrown together here and there. Nothing interesting or very cohesive. Nothing ever had a sense of consequence....
Sydney punk rock legends, Hard-Ons were ground breaking in the sense that their band members family backgrounds reflected multi-cultural Australia in a way that wan’t so common in the 80’s and 90s....
I’m a big fan of the movies and I’ve know for a while that the character is based off a series of books, but I’ve never gotten around to actually picking any of them up.
They’re a lot of fun. Just don’t go in expecting balls to the wall action and goofy one-liners like the movies; as someone else said they’re more spy/detective stories than action adventures. That said, there’s still plenty of action and they do move along at a pretty good clip.
One thing that stood out to me when I went through a period of reading a whole bunch of them is how much they focus on Bond’s likes, dislikes and interests. It’s not just shaken or stirred vodka martinis and Walther PPKs, the books often go into a fair amount of detail about what Bond takes for breakfast, what kind of products or activities he likes and so on.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a fractured mess and easily the worst of the series

Are the James Bond books worth reading?
