First of all, I wish to apologize for not posting last week - I don't know how I forgot but I did so...yeah. Anyway, for this week, I decided that I would review Guardians of the Galaxy 2 since I saw it last weekend. Now, where should I begin...?
The original movie was an instant hit due to its great characters, interesting story, and awesome 80s soundtrack. This movie was no different. It started off strong with the very first scene which featured the group fighting a space monster while little Groot danced to music. The movie kept up momentum and kept you entertained until the credits - or during or afterwards...more on that later. The same characters are back and are the same, except for Groot. He stole the movie with his adorable antics, but the rest of the cast were just as good. The story flows nicely, showing the group's dynamic changing as they get closer to each other. Other characters from the first movie also show up like Nebula and Yondu. It is exactly as you would expect a sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy to be - big, action-packed, and loud.
What else can I say about this movie? The visuals and CGI were great. The make-up and costumes were amazing. The characters, new and old, were entertaining and interesting. There were a few downsides, though. The music, which was good, was not as memorable as in the first movie. I only recognized one song from this movie's soundtrack. Also, I felt the villain reveal was a bit - predictable. I won't give anything away but they do give some hints. The only other issues were the extra clips. I felt like there were too many and most didn't lead anywhere or hint to future movies. It was as if they had filmed too many scenes and didn't want to cut any out. There are times when removing a scene actually helps a movie. This would have been one of those times.
Overall, it was a great movie. It was big, beautiful, and full of fun. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you check it out. Well, that sums it up for this week. I apologize missing a week and hope that enjoyed this post. Follow me so you don't miss out on future posts - no matter how late. Have yourselves a good weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!
