Hello Everyone,
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
Well now is the time i feel like writing a review and it will come as no surprise to any of you that it is a review of a Marvel movie. Now I've really like what they have done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe especially since Disney bought Marvel. Because Disney actually gets filmmakers that know the material to film the movies. And Guardians of the Galaxy:Vol 2 is no different. Now onto the review!
If you thought the first one was fun and entertaining than your going to think the second one is better. I enjoyed the fact that the first Guardians was a good introduction to the characters and the general premise and the second Guardians was good character development particularly for Starlord/Peter Quill. I also like that the filmmakers did not make us wait forever to discover the identity of Perter's father, they got to it in the second movie instead of waiting like three or four movies like most continuation films usually do. The first Guardians gave is a hint into who Peter's father is, the second actually introduce him and as Yondu said in the first film "he was a dick" I love how that came back into play. The movie shows off just how messed up Peter's life was growing up. And it was to have your mom dies in front of you, be taken away from your home planet, never know your father, and being raised by a different species that threatened to eat you, going through all that your not going to have too good of a life. But while the film does a good job showing all that off, it also does a good job showing off the relationship between Peter and Yondu and show that they have the true father/son relationship. Hence the ending where Ego just wanted to use and exploit Peter, Yondu was the one that caught onto what Ego was doing and protected Peter and still wanted to protect him and in the end Yondu sacrificed himself to save Peter just like a true father would do. And like Drax said earlier in the film Youdu was his father, he was right.
Along with the father/son angle with Peter/Yondu/Ego the movie shows off the sister relationship between Gamora and Nebula and how they came to despise each other. It also gave a bit of a back story of what it was like for them growing up with Thanos as a adopted father. The fact that they were forced to fight each other and made to hate one another when the truth is they were both afraid young girls and just wanted to be sister was great development for them as characters and for their relationship. I like by the end they had reconciled and will possibly team up and defeat Thanos in Avengers:Infinity War. That will be great to see so here's hoping. The film also has great character development for Rocket as he found himself caring about the Guardians and come to the realization that they are his friends. But he didn't want to admit any of it at least not until Yondu knocked some sense into him and sacred him by telling him (Rocket) that he's just like him (Yondu). Yondu made Rocket admit that he cares about the other Guardians. The only thing is I wish we would have gotten more development for Drax and Groot or in this case Baby Groot but maybe in vol 3.
Guardians of the Galaxy:Vol 2 was another excellent film done by Marvel Studios and Disney. The music was just as awesome as the first. The songs will get stuck in your head and you will want the sound track. Vol 2 is just as fun, amusing and entertaining as Vol 1. Plus who doesn't love the Mary Poppins line. I can't wait to see what they do next for vol 3, it's going to be epic.
