AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
byrann_gowan While Marvel has come out with many a great film in the past 10 years, let's be honest: Guardians of the Galaxy ranked near the top. It was such a surprise hit to everybody, but once people knew who these guys were, everybody wanted to be as good looking as Star Lord, deadly as Gamora, strong as Drax, quick-witted like Rocket and just plain awesome as Groot. It was such a massive success that no one saw coming, but did the sequel live up to the same hype?Well, I can safely say that, while it is not quite as good as the original, Vol. 2 definitely lives up to the hype!While the special effects and action sequences are all amazing, what really makes a Marvel movie is the performances, and the ones in this film are no different. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker and Karen Gillan all do an even better job at their respective characters, but the new characters are all just as fascinating. Pom Klementieff plays a new character named Mantis who can feel the same emotions as someone else when she touches them; Sylvester Stallone makes a great cameo appearance in the film as Stakar Ogord, who true fans know as Starhawk; and, of course, Kurt Russell dons the mantle as Peter's father, and you could really say that these guys really were Father and Son. Oh, and the villain of the movie is really amazing; I won't say who it is because I don't want to spoil it, but it's such a surprise towards the end of the movie!So, why do I rate this lower than the original if I felt the performances were better? Well, to be honest, a bit of the originality was lost in this one. Don't get me wrong; the songs, the dancing, the quick-witted jokes, they were all there and they are all a big part of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. It's just that I expected them to come when they did.But all in all, a great popcorn flick to enjoy with the family! These guys really do know how to entertain!
morrison-dylan-fan With the birthday of a friends son coming up,I decided that I would get him some Comic-Book presents. Picking up Harley Quinn's Greatest Hits and the stylish Logan: Wolverine graphic novels,I found in the local comic-book shop issues of Guardians of the Galaxy. Planning to get Spider-Man: Homecoming,I decided that to complete the package,to join the Guardians for a second time.View on the film:Returning in a greatly expanded role, Karen Gillan gives a wonderful performance as Nebula,whose fights with sibling rival Gamora (played by a very good Zoe Saldana) is fought with snappy exchanges by Gillan that nicely balance the action thrills. Bouncing off Dave Bautista's lively performance as Drax and Bradley Cooper's wise-cracking Rocket,Chris Pratt tones down the comedic edge Peter Quill showed in the first for a warm sincerity, that impressively gives a human cost to the grand special effects across the screen,as Pratt and Michael Rooker bring a tenderness to the loose father/son relationship between Quill & Yondu.Guarding the galaxy again with cinematographer Henry Braham,writer/director James Gunn sets the rocket off with bursts of dazzling primary colour,with every inch of the screen being covered in bright,pulpy yellow,blues and greens. Landing the action scenes in the middle of a playful,Sci-Fi family drama,Gunn gets lost in space with a stylised sense of scale,where the action scenes, (even the traditional blue floating thing in the sky Comic-Book final) are given a real crunch thanks to Gunn placing each set-piece from the weaving camera following Groot and Rocket's part in standing tall with their family,and continuing to guard the galaxy.
hornerb-56481 An amazing sequel. Almost as good as the first! Chris Pratt stole the show and is amazing
Sweetigal85 I love fantasy and super hero movies but lately these movies have really been getting out of hand. They definitely sacrifice the plots for the special effects. I would be willing to bet that about five minutes of this movie was actually real while the rest of it was done on a green screen.The special effects and Chris Pratt himself are in fact dazzling to watch. The acting is very good and the moments between Peter and Yondu were most endearing to me. It was amazing how much comic relief and senseless humor was crowbarred into the movie and yet the scene where Yondu sacrifices himself for Peter was still able to be so poignant amidst so much wackiness.People seem to really like the soundtrack to the movie but to me much of the movie felt like a drug trip because of it. I personally do not care for the array of characters in the Guardian movies. Like, a talking raccoon and tree? What is going on here? I would have liked to have seen more scenes between Peter and Gamora and less nonsense between all of the others.Kurt Russell's acting was amazing in this movie but the character that he played was very perplexing. I am not sure I fully understood what was actually going on in the end. But I am glad he got what he deserved.Don't get me wrong, I laughed my head off during this movie and I would definitely recommend it. I just think that it is not without flaws.
