Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

So, here another review since it's long weekend and I am sick as hell. Most recent movie I watched, Guardians of The Galaxy Vol 2. Like with any movie that is associated with Marvel Studios, comes its inherited "hype" and "excitement" with this film being no different. Director James Gunn has really made a name for himself directing the previous Guardians of the Galaxy and a confirmed sequel to this year's second iteration. His cinematic career does not have a large array of successful movies by his name but the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are amazing.

The tone and humor which got so many people hooked on the original, is preserved for its sequel. All of the Guardians have their distinct personalities and fitting sense of humor but are given a lot more character development in Volume 2. The characters Gunn chose to reintroduce, are interesting due to compelling backstories and some creative, touching and funny character moments. Watching action scenes featuring characters you love and care about, adds so much drama and weight to the action and makes the movie all the more enjoyable. The action itself is creative, fun and often times hilariously over the top.


While all the Guardians – except Groot – get some great character moments here, the focus is really on Peter, Gamora, and the new additions to the team. Mantis was an absolute delight, and her budding relationship with Drax is something that deserves a lot more screen time come Vol. 3. Karen Gillan gives perhaps the movie's best performance as Nebula, who is dealing with issues from her childhood thanks to her relationships with Thanos and Gamora.

One of the best things about the first film was the awesome soundtrack the film played out to. Like I've said already though, this isn't a carbon copy so they don't just pick random songs because they sound cool alongside an action sequence. The songs really do excel the film at times, Come A Little Bit Closer, Father and Son and The Chain being the stand-outs this time round. Oh, and Mr. Blue Sky deserves a special mention for playing over the best opening title sequences ever, and you'll find it hard to disagree when you see it for yourself.

I liked how Guardians Volume 2 took the stagnant 'Marvel villain' formula and decided to freshen it up a bit by making the villain have an already pre-established effect on the world of the film. And Ego is no Ultron here; no, he's one that has direct importance to StarLord being his father and all. But the revelation that Peter was basically a tool to realise his father's plan reflects the baddie's actual impact on this film alone.

In general, in some aspects is very similar to the first one, but not in every moments that means a bad thing. Overall this provides a very good entertainment movie full of action and emotion with a great soundtrack. Tbh I dont care about any flaw while watching this. Maybe because I really need a nice entertainment . So this movie is enough of to entertain me
