Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Review

The First movie in this Particular Series was mindbogglingly awesome. So expectations where sky high for this sequel. But after Iron man 2 and Thor 2, my own personal expectations where tepid.

So... I was not disappointed by the film, but I can understand why its not that popular with the critics, nor will it be as big a hit with the audiences as the first part.

That is not to say this film is bad or not well made, it has all the humor and smart dialogs we expect. The music is good; the action is tense at times. But somehow the movie doesn’t come together as well as the first part did.

But the good thing about Marvel is, unlike DC, they never make an outright, badly made... unwatchable mess of a film.

GOTG 2 is fun, it has it moments, but it doesn’t have that epic feeling of the first part. This time the story is a bit more personal to Star-Lord and mostly deals with his re-union with his father.

The GOOD thing is, EVERYTHING that was setup in Part 1 is completely played out with the answer to Star-Lord’s parentage, as well as his feelings for his mother and leaving earth. None of the plot is left hanging and fully and totally resolved. In that regard the film succeeds.

Some Ok type sequels tarnish the first film too, thankfully this film doesn’t do anything to take away from the amazing first part.

Also DRAX stole the show here, he is the best character in the film other than Rocket/Baby Groot. His dialogs are hilarious and he overplays it VERY well…

Rocket and Baby Groot also get their own screen time, with one very funny Baby Groot scene, so over all other than Gamora, no one is shortchanged.

If you are a GOTG fan, this film is enjoyable and fun. If you have never heard of this series, then this film is not for you!

Rating : 7/10. Fun, Witty if not a altogether very coherent or epic Storyline to the film.
