Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Details
Getting to know this crazy team that roams the universe and feeds on chaos was enough in the first film; but James Gunn decides to dive into much deeper waters in the sequel. The second adventure of Guardians of the Galaxy centers on a question that superhero cinema often ignores: what is family and what does this word really mean? Peter Quill has a question that has remained unanswered for years. Who is the father? This question finds a concrete answer in the second film; however, the answer itself gives rise to new and much more complex questions. Meeting the mysterious figure portrayed by Kurt Russell is both exciting and unsettling. Gunn doesn't merely use this relationship as a plot device; he transforms it into an intimate reckoning about fatherhood, origin, and identity. Visually, the film continues the colorful and exuberant style of the first part and even takes it further. With cosmic landscapes, vibrant color palettes, and creative action scenes, the screen transforms into a comic book page. But the real power comes from the emotional weight hidden beneath this visual spectacle. Although the tension between Gamora and Nebula looks like a fight between two sisters on the surface, it actually evolves into a heartbreaking narrative about trauma, jealousy and acceptance. Dec. Drax, played by Dave Bautista, transforms into the film's most humane voice at unexpected moments. Rocket Raccoon also stands out as a much more complex character in this episode. This narrative choice, which gradually reveals to the audience what it hides behind its hard shell, fits perfectly with the film's overall tone. Instead of portraying his heroes as perfect power fantasies, Gunn depicts them as fragile, angry, and fallible individuals. The music selection also serves as a critical dramatic tool. Awesome Mixtape Vol. The pieces presented under the title 2 add emotional depth to the scenes while also carrying a nostalgic warmth. Making you laugh, think and unexpectedly sad at times, this film manages to largely avoid the repetition trap that sequels usually fall into. If you're looking for a space adventure that reminds you that family bonds can be both a source of compassion and destruction, you've come to the right place.

I didn’t enjoy this as much as the first one. Too long — could have been about 30 minutes shorter. I don’t mind long movies, but they shouldn’t feel long. There’s some good humour throughout the movie and the characters are enjoyable, particularly Rocket who is my favourite! Story is pretty thin. Some good action sequences, of course. Overall, an average movie. Has lost some of the freshness of the original.

_Logan_, 2017's first Marvel offering, was a movie I loved because of just how little it relied on its comic book origins, completely forgoing the superhero tropes and going in its own unique and totally enthralling direction. _Guardians 2_ however, is a movie I loved because of just how intensely it embraced its comic book origins. The Kirby-isms shine through brilliantly and every couple of minutes I found myself grinning like an idiot at some new reference or stylistic choice. _Logan_ m...

The David Hasselhoff of all reviews, obviously. Do you have any tape? Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, directed by James Gunn, is an action-packed Marvel comedy. The guardians unravel the mysteries of Star-lord aka Peter Quill's (Chris Pratt) broken history while avoiding constant danger. Oh. And did I mention the soundtrack? Muy bueno! 8) Unlike most sequels, Vol. 2 might actually be better than Vol. 1. The entire cast is more likable than the first film. Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bau...

“Guardian’s are back to save the galaxy once again” I felt in this movie the true star was baby Groot the part that how he understands and gives out his understandings in his own style which makes us laugh out loud. Got to see a funny side in Drax the before edition he was always angry this one he always laughs I like the part he keeps saying positive things and suddenly ends it with a negative touch. Now to talk about gamora and quill love is in the air but she keeps denying it. Quills line ...

**Guardians' date with the creator.** The first film was the most unexpected. That was one of the most colourfull space films I have ever seen. Youthful, energetic, fantastic visuals and so the same followed in this sequel as well. Not the same good, but stood to the expectation of the first film's success. This story does not have a great adventure in the galaxy. A simple quest, but a thrilling action-adventure. Now this accidental space gang is set to meet the creator. It's time for Pete...

I hate this movie. I'm fine and quite proud to be in the minority with this one. I can't stand how Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 thinks family dynamic is just two people bickering about how much daddy didn't love them as kids. It makes no sense to me why James Gunn or Marvel think that every scene needs to have multiple jokes thrown in no matter what the tone of the scene is supposed to be. Drax's overused laugh was annoying. Yes, I get it, Baby Groot is dumb. Hahaha.... Oh, now you're ugly sham...

This film is a big "watch and learn" nudge to poorly directed comic book films. James Gunn showed us how to effectively use humor to ante up the storytelling, and even took us to Slow-motion 101 Class.

Awesome Mix Number 2 was amazing! The songs and how they were strategically scored in every scene set up the right mood. Got their playlist on repeat!

It feels like Vin Diesel influenced the film too much. His #FAMILY theme from the Fast and Furious franchise was all over the film!

You can clearly see that Marvel trusted James Gunn. Everything he did, even the slapstick-LooneyToon-ish kind of humor were perfect. He clearly had fun conceptualizing and visualizing everything.

Two words: BABY GROOT! Groot was there to make the nerds' wives and girlfriends stay and watch the film. He's cute, adorable and everything that your Disney princesses would love!

The villain, like any other Marvel villains except Loki, sucks. Unclear motivations + can be defeated by the power of love. You know, all that jazz. But aside from that, the entire movie was a very enjoyable watch.

Overall, the second installment delivered very well. It was crazier than the first film, and it was packed with better character development and AWESOME VISUALS! Must....resist spoiling the film.

Not as fun as the first one, but it was still jam-packed with all a Marvel movie will be: humor, action, drama, and BABY GROOT!

Baby Groot was so, so cute! Honestly, I'd pay to watch a whole movie with just Baby Groot as the focus.

What would you get when you put together a group of misfits and call it a day? Hilarious, full of classic songs and drama that you should not miss.

It is a pretty good sequel to Volume 1. What we thought to be an epic dad-son moment was just a facade, and honestly, to Quill, who just wanted a father all this time, it was a bit sad.
