guardians of the galaxy vol 2
what's up everybody lee the fourth
coming at you once again with another
movie review the premise of this right
here as we all know from the first film
we got a ragtag group of people that
were never expected to come together
they end up coming together they end up
saving the galaxy from a threat a huge
major threat that could have literally
everything and that leads us into the
story of this film and I gotta say that
I didn't really feel that the story was
very compelling this time around I was a
little underwhelmed I felt like this
version of guardians of the galaxy was a
little bit of a complete gang fest I
don't know what was going on why they
chose to go this round now not saying
everything was bad I still enjoyed this
film but the story itself just felt like
one big gag after another there wasn't
really anything too interesting they had
a bunch of gold people chasing them
around and at first I didn't really mind
the gold people I felt like they will
have some reason behind them being in
the film you know as the film carries on
but it turns out that not so much they
they were in the film they do have
somewhat of a purpose but really to be
honest I think that they could have been
completely exit out of this movie and
the movie would have been a lot better
for it I think they're going to
introduce these gold characters they
should have done it like differently
like the execution was just poor so I
gotta say that the story at least in the
first half I was not feeling at all then
you know towards the middle and end the
story starts to get a little bit better
when they introduce the actual villain
and what's going on there but I gotta
say that the story was was definitely
underwhelming the once again this film
was directed by James Gunn we have Chris
Pratt as Peter quill aka star-lord Zoe
Saldana as Gamora dave bautista has
drax the destroyer
Vin Diesel once again as baby group
Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon Michael
Rooker as yondu udonta carrying the lawn
as nebula Tom Clemente as Memphis and
Kurt Russell as ego the Living Planet
Peter quill once again was fantastic in
his portrayal at star-lord he did a
great job but I got saying there were
some times where they overdid it with
the comedy like
saying to the point where it kind of
just like I said it was almost like a
spoof movie so it was almost as if he
was spoofing the version that he did in
the character from the first time around
it's almost as if a team like the team
behind scary movie came along and took
guardians of the galaxy and said hey
let's make this like super crazy and
just be really goofy with it and that's
kind of what Star Lord ended up falling
into for me I think the more was great
again there isn't really anything I can
think of to complain about her
performance I actually enjoyed it in my
spoiler section down the line in this
review there is something that I didn't
like that happened to her character in
the film but as far as her actual acting
and whatnot she did a good job
now Drax was hilarious this time around
there was a lot of comedy in regards to
him he was almost like the comedy
machine or the comic relief character
which is a little bit we are considering
the first movie he was completely not
that I mean they did use him as comedy
in that movie but the thing is that it
was funny because he didn't know what
the hell comedy was he was not aware of
sarcasm or anything like that so they
gave him some character development this
time around to the point where he's kind
of getting familiar with what comedy is
and things like that so he's really used
you know wisely in that way but I do
feel like they overdid it with the
comedy in regards to Drax it was almost
like anything that he popped up in was
just meant to be comedic and that was it
it was like he was not badass this time
around there was nothing scary about him
I didn't feel like he was a force to be
reckoned with like he was in the first
movie so yeah in regards that I think
they dropped the ball a little bit on
Drax baby Groot was adorable it was cute
he was just like a real baby essentially
to where they had to kind of you know
basically baby him throughout the whole
movie he wasn't really any help he was
kind of getting in the way a lot but
there were some funny moments with him
as well and I think like I said it was
adorable to look at so I did like baby
group but I hope he's you know back to
adults eyes are close to it in the next
film because I don't think I can handle
two films a baby group now rocket once
again was was funny he was he was a
great character he was pretty much the
exact same way that he was in the first
one now again everybody got some
character development this time around
and the development that he got was kind
of minor but it was fitting I liked it
they did well Rocket Raccoon again there
is
complaints here in regards to this
character I enjoyed it the only thing I
could say it which is not really a
complaint but I could use a little bit
more character development for him now
nebula was a lot better this time around
but she was still doing that you know
over-the-top acting era gonna cool no
like she was like always grunting I was
gritting her teeth and I understand that
that's kind of you know what her
character is supposed to be but I mean
you can even show that you're like you
know a tormented soul without having to
you know be so over the top all the time
you know I mean there's all kinds of
depressed people out there and you go
into Starbucks or just you know you can
tell that they're relatively annoyed
with you but they're not like a what are
you work for your company you know I
mean like and it's below unrealistic
like nebula yeah she was better this
time now Kurt Russell was great
I feel like Kurt Russell to me is a
little bit like how Wilson has become to
me in the sense that Will Smith always
takes on these roles and he does a great
job and he's almost like playing himself
every time and I feel like Kurt Russell
was exactly the same almost in this
movie as he was and big trouble little
China and escape from New York and stuff
like that I just I didn't really see
much of a difference in terms of the way
he acted and the way he portrayed
himself it was almost like I think Kurt
Russell is one of those actors that has
you know that niche you know getting
roles where he can just be himself and
make millions so hey I mean you got the
best job on planet Earth but yeah Kurt
Russell was good but like I said I just
think he's kind of always like being
himself and not really acting so yeah it
was pretty cool now we all know the
first film had fantastic music playing
all those oldies tracks and all those
wonderful hits from like Marvin Gaye and
whatnot and I don't know how these songs
fit with this intergalactic you know
ragtag group you know adventure movie I
don't get how it fits what it does and
it fits fantastically I love it i big
it's awesome and this movie they had
another mix of old-school songs which
fit perfectly they were well done I
enjoyed it the music is very well done
but one of the things I gotta say is
that I think they kind of liked a lot of
things in this movie you're going to
hear me say are overdone and that's my
main you know concern I'll get more into
that in the spoilers section coming up
but they only get everything I feel like
in the first film
they utilize those old-school tracks
sparingly they put
where they needed to be and where they
were most impactful but this time around
it was like every scene had an OD song
it was like they decided hey okay you
know people like the oldies tracks
people like the comedy so let's just
take those two things and just like
times it by 20 and just see if we can
knock it out of the park even bigger
this time around and we've all learned
that bigger isn't always better you know
what I mean so sometimes you gotta you
got to understand that you got to find
like that common ground that middle
ground you got to balance things out
because too much of a good thing is
never a good thing so with the music
they should have toned it back a little
bit and played the song like they did in
the first film where they were actually
like necessary not like a medium scene
one thing that guardians of the galaxy
always manages to do appropriately is
capture the visuals and a stunning
fashion there was a you know an
old-school well I don't say old-school
but there was a young Kurt Russell in
one of the scenes and you couldn't even
tell that there was CG on him if there
even was maybe they just had a really
fantastic makeup artist that was able to
make him look super young but we've seen
how that whole thing is progressed
because in Tron you could clearly tell
I'm pretty sure it was Kurt Russell in
that movie - maybe I'm tripping correct
me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it
was Kurt Russell in that film - where
they made him young and it was just like
so CG like you could easily tell this
time around I really couldn't tell it
all it look like a young Kurt Russell
and they've even done this in I think it
was Terminator Terminator Salvation
where they made it young Arnold
Schwarzenegger with CG and that was
easily you can easily tell and a lot of
people were complaining about road one
looking really bad with their CEO on
laya and moff tarkin
but to me I actually thought that looked
good maybe I'm blind maybe I'm just
tripping or I'm trying to just be
opposite on purpose but I felt like the
CG looked good on them I almost like to
me I mean I understand that that's not
their real fake but to me it looks fine
and this movie they did well with the
CGI once again now the spaceships looked
amazing they zip around like little bugs
you know anything like if you ever watch
a slides if around through your living
room that's how the spaceships operate I
think Star Wars has a more realistic
approach as to how spacious would
actually
in real life but I think guardians you
know they want to have their own staple
on that so that's what they do they make
them like extremely fast like almost
like a bug I wouldn't be surprised if
they were sitting in you know a board
meeting talking about alright how we're
going to make these spacious we got to
be different in Star Wars all right
let's make them zip around to fly and
then that's what they went with because
that's exactly what it looks like and I
think it looks great
Rocket Raccoon looked great baby grew it
was a little easy to you know obviously
tell that he was CG and it kind of took
me out of it here and there and there
were some cartoony elements in this
movie that I was not feeling I
understand is going into the galaxy is
meant to have a bit of a cheese factor
but it's at a certain level and you want
to keep it at that certain level and I
feel like they just kind of blew the
level off the hinges and just said
fucking we're just going to go wild with
this you know and pretty much make this
space Jim Carrey movie like I don't know
there's some stuff that I wasn't feeling
I'll get into that right now in the
spoilers section alright so here we go
one thing I want to point out is that
there was a scene where Gamora was
facing off against nebula and a huge I
don't know something that was three
times four times her size it was
basically like a laser spaceship Gatling
gun whatever the hell you want to call
it it came to attach from the ship and
somehow she is not she Hawk she might
look like she Hawk but we all know that
Gamora is not overly powerful she's like
regular you know she has you know
warrior skills and whatnot but as far as
I know she does not have super-strength
so she was able to hoist that thing up
on her shoulder looking like the Iron
Man super move from Marvel vs. Capcom or
war machine where he picks that giant
fucking laser gun up on the shoulder and
they started blasting it off which looks
tight in the video game and it's a
little bit more understandable when a
character with a robot suit that has
like who knows how much strength it's
more believable that they can lift
something like that even in a video game
but she did it in the movie like it was
so cartoony to the point where I was
just like it's so took me out of the
movie I was like super pissed off by
that because I'm like come on like
guardian of the galaxy yeah it's a bunch
of space aliens going on adventures in
the Marvel Universe which is from comic
book so of course is going to have a
level of cheese and a level of you know
believed to it but even in the first one
they kept a level of realism to it so
they believe that maybe they're actually
out there somewhere in a parallel
dimension or somewhere super far away in
space like maybe something like this
could exist but in this movie it was
like a huge cartoon and there was a
section where they were going through
like warped space or something like that
Rocket Raccoon is yondu and I think baby
grew and their faces were contorting
like a fucking cartoon I was like the
jaw was getting all big eyes popping
down the face looking like fisheye lens
and stuff like that that took me out of
the movie children I was like what the
fuck is going on right now like where
did this come from why is this getting
like so overly cartoony like I'm getting
a little worked up and kind of pissed
off about it because I expected to have
another fantastic movie to watch now
keep in mind I don't hate this movie
you'll see my end score but it's like it
was just ridiculous and then also in
this movie you know like the the money
shots and the epic scenes like age of
Ultron where they're fighting off all
those old Tron clones it's like then Dan
Kent is dancing like the cameras panning
around everybody's looking all badass
and so on fucking smashing one robot or
Hawk smashing a robotics or smashing
another one and taps uppercutting one or
whatever and it's like all cinematic and
you feel like okay you know there's a
slight little cheese to that because we
understand that it's not realistic
nobody's going to be able to coordinate
themselves that way in like real life
but it's a fake and it's cinematic and
it makes you like get roped in and
usually those type of scenes is what
makes the hair on the back of your neck
stand up and I love those things I don't
care if there's like a slight level of
cheese to it or like what a superhero's
does the superhero landing like they
make fun of in Deadpool he's like ah you
know whatever
I love shit like that and we all love it
despite the fact that if something's
funny to make fun of we all think it's
epic and we love it but the thing is
that every time there was an epic moment
it's epic scene a a scene that was meant
to be taken seriously or fill you with
like a sense of tragedy or something
else supposed to make you go like oh
shit it's about to go down they throw a
fucking joke in it was like do one of
the things that people love so much
about going to the galaxy bonding ones
the
I get but the jokes were used you know
once again not so often and they were
used adequately they came in at the
appropriate moment the timing was
correct and they were actually like
hilarious jokes this time it was like
everything was a damn joke there was a
time where like in the beginning of the
movie they're like why aren't you
wearing your jet pack best dragon drugs
like they hurt my nipples and then
there's a part at the end where he ends
up having to put that shit on anyway
he's like oh my nipple goes flying up in
the sky like what the fuck am i watching
right now is this fucking Tom and Jerry
or what that was and like back to the
other thing where I was saying about the
cinematic shit being interrupted they
did like four or five times they didn't
let you have any moments like at the
very end the very last scene they
finally let you have a moment with yondu
and star-lord when yondu spoiler alert
ends up dying which i understand that it
was supposed to make you you know feel
like choked up and I did like slightly
but it wasn't as impactful as it could
have been if they weren't making this
like a big gag movie like I don't know
what the hell happened like from the
first one to this one I understand that
it's hard to you know top it but how
about not try to top it and just do
another good fucking movie instead of
doing all this I don't know what this
gag shit I felt like I was watching Jim
Carrey in space and then the biggest
thing that almost ruined his damn movie
for me is when star-lord and ego the
Living Planet are having a Dragonball Z
fight and all the sudden he turns into a
big-ass pac-man head now granted earlier
in the movie he was making fun of the
fact that he is a god now or he's
finding the knowledge that he's a god he
could just make whatever the hell he
wants
once eagle his dad teaches them or
whatever and you know I'm going to make
some pac-man some weird shit that's
funny like when you to say that in
dialogue but there for you to actually
do it in the movie just look so stupid
like you guys are supposed to be in a
dire you know circumstance fighting
against each other for the fate of the
galaxy and your lives and you're going
to turn to a fucking pac-man head it'll
be soup and like eat him or whatever the
hell dude that was fucking stupid and on
top of that he had just found out that
he put a damn tumor and his mom's brain
and egos the reason why his mom died you
know pretty maturely wasn't he was
supposed to die and you're going to turn
to a pack
ahead come on man like what the hell now
there were some jokes that hit and we're
hilarious like when yondu was coming
down on his arrow and star-lords like
you little a Mary Poppins and a yawn is
like is he cool and if I was like yeah
he's like America Poppins yell like that
shit was comedy gold like there was some
comedy gold moments in his movie there
is another part of the amber one of the
yondu's underlings I can't remember the
dude's name at the moment but I know
he's James Gunn's brother he I got who
said he was messing around with that
arrow by trying to whistle and they
accidentally stabbed rax that shit had
me rolling I was laughing so hard and
then the part where rocket racoon was
clowning on taser face grab in the name
taser face that shit was comedy gold and
then the part where rocket racoon was
using that device to make them
continuously pop up in the area pressing
they would explode up into the air and
that was tight I thought that that was
hilarious too
they should have more moments like that
not this Jim Carrey comedy stuff cuz
that's not what I went to this movie for
and that's not what the first one was
like and then there was another part
where yondu was using his arrow to stab
all types of people and they were
walking on this bridge and their bodies
were falling it was all in slow motion
that was such an awesome scene now the
stuff with ego the Living Planet was
pretty tight when he started actually
showing his true colors and showing that
he was a villain that's where the movie
started getting a lot better for me and
like I said there were still some
instances that I wasn't filming but
that's when the story picked up and got
a little bit better and it got away from
that gold people stuff and the gold
people like I said I wasn't feeling them
they didn't even have to actually put
themselves in dangerous circumstances
they would just fly out some drone ships
with a hologram on them so I didn't care
about them their battles didn't seem
like you know a threat because they
weren't even actually in the ships at
the very end with the ravager ceremony I
thought that that was gorgeous I loved
that that made me really feel free on do
and I was disappointed that he wasn't
going to be you know coming back for the
third installment and another thing I
want to say in closing well for the
spoiler section is that I don't know how
they expect this version of guardians of
the galaxy to fit with Iron Man and
everybody else because the version from
the first movie was fitting perfectly
but this gag says that they just gave us
would not fit with the rest of the
superheroes at all no way shape or form
all right for my over
all verdicts I want to give this movie a
pretty good yes
guardians of the galaxy vol 2 was a fun
movie I enjoyed it there was a lot of
problems with it for me though I do not
care to see it again unfortunately I
feel like this is one of the weaker
Marvel movies like Iron Man 2 and what
else
for the dark world this is going to be
in that category they're just all like
lackluster not that great but not
terrible so yeah that's my verdict
that's all I have for you guys today go
ahead and attack that like button join
