This is what cinema is about

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2017)

I'm really not that into hero movies of any kind. I love Joss Wheedon but found myself dozing off in the first Avengers film.
Also, I haven't properly seen the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. It was on cable a couple of times and I was only able to glance at it.
The trailer to Volume 2 was excellent and made me want to see it. I was lucky to see the film on its opening day in Tokyo.
People were laughing and crying. It's a long while since I've enjoyed a film so much in the cinema.
Some of the dialogue could have been better, but the great chemistry between the cast, the motivation of each character was so well conceived. I just forgot about everyday life.
The attention to detail was excellent. From props to individual makeup.
I wish I had clapped my hands as well but some people burst into applause.
Refreshing. Totally refreshing. In spite of being CGI characters, Baby Groot and Rocket felt as real as any other character. Rocket, in fact, is kind of sexy... which is a very strange thing to say.
"There's a difference between being a father and a dad."
What a beautiful sentiment.
The use of Fleetwood Mac's song was excellent.
Original and inventive. Funny yet extremely moving. I will definitely got back and watch the first film again - properly this time.
Even Sylvester Stallone gave a great performance in his limited screen time.
