She and Drax were a great team. This is a rare part 2 that didn't disappoint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58462109184483723852017-05-10T15:21:17.171-04:002017-05-10T15:21:17.171-04:00You know what is better then this movie?

I especially liked the character focus instead of plot focus and of course surrogate families are one of my favorite types of protagonists. Just like in Joss Whedon shows.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-49110377276578748932017-05-08T09:55:15.545-04:002017-05-08T09:55:15.545-04:00The opening credits scene alone was worth the pric...The opening credits scene alone was worth the price of the ticket!topher darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975242320282969525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-65986057541802445002017-05-07T13:10:04.964-04:002017-05-07T13:10:04.964-04:00I absolutely loved this movie. I have to say that ...I absolutely loved this movie. I have to say that the movie really did have better emotion. In the first movie, the bookends with Peter's mother felt sort of unnecessary, tacked-on, and unearned. Here though, his love for his mom and grief at the lose of both of his parents felt real. And also, as a chronic shipper, I happened to love the Starmora scenes :). <br /><br />I also loved the last scene. It felt like everyone had their own little part of the plan to do, instead of them just lining up and going all out like in the Avengers. I thought it was a cool way of seeing them work as a team that we don't always get in other superhero movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-29786299341430089052017-05-07T09:45:32.535-04:002017-05-07T09:45:32.535-04:00"This is something that the first Guardians f..."This is something that the first Guardians film was guilty of"<br /><br />Not even at "WE ARE GROOT"?<br /><br />Movies which put character and thematics over plot are my shit so of course I loved this. I did think some of the action scenes were a little protracted and messy but the rest were pretty great (the final act stuff in particular). Also, while the movie is very funny, I dd think some of the beats went on a little longer than necessary. Levity is important but I felt like they undercut the emotion a little too much at points. The balance of tone was a lot better in the first movie. <br /><br />But the character work was great (if a little too talky), it has possibly the best villain in a Marvel movie, the movie is gorgeous and the whole thing is just so much fun.<br /><br />Basically I cried like five times which usually makes me forgive a lot. Not that there's that much to forgive.FlopHairedWussnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46107314523470750972017-05-06T11:47:13.917-04:002017-05-06T11:47:13.917-04:00There were so many beautiful colors!

It was almost as if they had gotten a small child to choose the color scheme of this movie, and I mean that in the best way possible. <br /><br />The plot structure was a little weird. We basically spent half the movie without a clear antagonist, which made it feel very episodic, like you said. But I had such a great time that I didn't really care. I was in a group of 6 people who went to go see it last night, and we all absolutely loved it. A couple of people were saying that it was their favorite Marvel movie hands down. I don't know if I would go that far (very little can top Winter Solider), but it was a really, really fun time.An Honest Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093676731627861429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-84664169775904779962017-05-05T01:09:05.500-04:002017-05-05T01:09:05.500-04:00Just came back from watching it and I second the s...Just came back from watching it and I second the sentiment, I loved it. You were right about the flaws, but they didn't bother me. What was interesting was the reactions of the guys that I saw the movie with, some liked it but not as much as the first one. Some loved it, but with reservations. And one thought it was adequate, but filled with sophomoric humor and ultimately boring.<br /><br />Any movie that can bore the tears out of one person, and nearly bring another to tears has to go down as a good movie in my book. Because I got it, just like the guardians themselves, it was fully of heart and humor. Family issues, and technicolor insanity. I cannot wait to see them all in Infinity War and GotG Vol. 3. <br /><br />Thanks for the incredibly prompt review;<br /><br />Until Thor Ragnarok!!!<br /><br />Oh, for those that are interested there are five mid/after credit sequences. All but one of them are basically filler, but one is important.Samantha M. Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340568293992559934noreply@blogger.com
