Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2! The review.

Pew pew pew.... what a good way to start of the movie. For those of you not aware of what is guardians of the galaxy and what the movie is about, essentially is based on a comic which I know very little about.

I remember a couple of years ago when I went to watch it because it was a MARVEL movie. Anyhow the movie definitely was under the Marvel cinematic universe which revolved around Thanos and the inifinity stones yada yada yada.


Anyhow at the end of the first movie they manage to prevent the bad guys from using the infinity stone to destroy planets and slippery slope the universe!

Heres a trailer to the movie if you havent caught it.

Now for me the best part about the first movie is and was the unexpectedness of it all. It was funny and witty and had an awesome soundtrack. In fact I think the soundtrack on the first one killed it! Check it here.

Anyhow on to the second movie. It essentially starts off to establish the characters are back again and fighting and bickering as usual with the exception of Groot now being smaller cuter and more adorable.

I wont spoil the storyline of the movie but just state what this movie entails. This time it ties to tell a backstory to Peter (aka Starlord) and his background and parentage. Apparently this was hinted in the first movie but I never caught it till I rewatched it. 

So from there they progress to further develop more backstories like Yondu and becomes very sentimental for a bit. 

This movie is more of a comedy since I guess they have accepted their identity as being comedic in the first movie I guess. So do expect jokes, comedic moments at every step of the way. 

Now what I dont like about the movie is the SOUNDTRACK! I knew 0 songs from the soundtrack.. totally zilch nada nutting.. It didnt resonate with me at all that I dont think I will buy the soundtrack this time around (i did for the first one) and I think theres too many jokes. Sure I laughed at most of it.. but after awhile it started to feel like i was at a comedy stand up show.

Now as to whether you should watch the show.. YES I THINK YOU SHOULD! Its enjoyable and funny. As to the whole storyline.. I guess its nothing much of a wow after the first revelation of what peter is. In the whole grand scheme of things I dont know how this moves the marvel cinematic universe along. 

In my review i give it a 8.5/10. Go ahead and watch it. I wont spoil much of it for you so go go goooo... Now if you have watched it, what do you think? Do you think my assessment is correct or do you think I shouldve joined Yondu? Let me know what you think!

P.s wait for ALL the end credits.. (Yes more than 1).
