My Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 review
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2: This movie takes place weeks or months after the events in the first film and the group are now heroes for hire. After their last mission, they meet a man name Ego who turns out to be Peter Quill's father, so Peter decides to go on Ego's plant to get to know him better and the other guardians go their separate ways. Meanwhile one of the guardians discovers something disturbing about Ego, so they have to warn Peter before it's too late.
This movie is a huge improvement over its predecessor with a consistent story, better characterization and beautiful visuals. I like how this movie pair up characters because they either reflect each other or complement each other. The theme of this movie is family and friendship, you have characters looking for these things, struggling to accept the ones they have and working out issues with their family. The way this movie ended will make you cry.
Peter Quill/Starlord has to figure out what kind of family he wants. I'm fond of this arc because Peter is the weakest member of the group, when he learns about his heritage he feels joy.
Gamora is the level-headed one of the team who tries to resolve her differences with her sister. The only issue I have with her is that I don't like her subplot with Peter because it takes away from her story of fixing things with her sister.
Drax is the straight man who doesn't get that people are being sarcastic.
Baby Groot is adorable but he's more or less the same as he was in the last movie. I'm still annoyed that all he says is I am Groot, however, the characters translate what he's saying sometimes.
Rocket is the brains of the gang, there is one scene that shows us how dangerous he is for someone his size. He's having a hard time accepting the Guardians as his friends to the point where he's testy towards them.
Yondu has a redemption arc in this movie and can be amusing at times. His whistle arrow is used much better here than in the last movie because it wasn't treated as a serious thing in this movie. My gripe with him is he could have done a better job working things out with Peter.
Nebula (Gamora's sister.) is a tragic character. I wish she would show more emotion about her backstory, I mean we see she's affected but at the same time, she's calm.
Mantis (Ego's alley.) is like Drax as far as being unaware of social interaction. To be fair she has never been around anyone else.
Ego is a typical Marvel villain, that's sad because he said something that would have given this character some depth. However, his plan to take over the universe is different, I haven't seen it before.
One of the problems I have with this movie is the comedy undermines some of the serious moments in the movie. This movie would have a different ending if Ego didn't reveal what he did in his past to Peter. Also, I don't buy how the guardian's relationships have grown because not a lot of time has passed since the first movie. The ending also created a plot hole, Ego's plan affects Earth and no one from Earth acknowledges the event.
Overall, this is a solid sequel that I would recommend to everyone.
Rating = Worth Seeing
