After Marvel's risky foray with relatively unknown characters and which were at odds with the tone of the films presented so far in its universe, Marvel managed to make "Guardians of the Galaxy a world pop phenomenon by conquering a resounding box office around the world. , and continuing its shared universe, Marvel Studios again commissioned James Gunn to script and direct this new adventure, with the difficult mission of further expanding this vast Cosmic Universe, and he did it with praise. previous film returned for this sequence, which manages to be bigger and better in several aspects.
The film begins with Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki), leader of the Sovereign race, hiring the Guardians to protect valuable batteries from an inter-dimensional monster in exchange for Gamora's sister (Zoe Saldana), Nebula (Karen Gillan), who was caught trying steal them. After Rocky (Bradley Cooper's voice) steals some batteries, the Sovereigns attack the Guardians' ship with a fleet of drones. These drones are destroyed by a mysterious figure, but the Guardians are forced to fall on a nearby planet. The figure reveals itself as Quill's father, Ego (Kurt Russell).
From there, several side events start to unfold and James Gunn, no longer needing to introduce the heroes, now takes the opportunity to strengthen the relationships between the characters. We can follow Peter's relationship with his previously unknown father, Ego. It is interesting how the relationship between them is built, starting in a way and then gaining new contours as new revelations happen. At the same time there is Peter's passion for Gamora (who is still reluctant to admit his feelings).
It also explores the relationship of hurt from the past, but also of love between the sisters Gamora and Nebula and even the unlikely approach of Rocky and Yondu and the humorous scenes in the relationship between Drax and the new addition to the cast, Mantis (Poe Klementieff ). Not to mention the relationship of love and care that everyone has with Baby Groot (voice of Vin Diesel), which is nothing more than the baby of the family. We can also not fail to quote Michael Rooker, when we find out a little more about his past, about the reasons that led him not to hand over Peter to his father, the actor helps to fill his eyes with tears until they can no longer hold back. From hateful, Yondu Udonta becomes that guy you really wanted to give a tight hug to.
James Gunn is not concerned with making connections with other Marvel Phase 3 films. He manages to make a film that competently develops his own universe. The visual effects are still incredible. Even though the film is mostly shot in chroma-key, we don't get the feeling of something out of place. On the contrary, the ships and planets visited are different from those seen previously and add even greater complexity to this infinite universe. The planet of the Sovereign race and the planet of Ego are the exponents that reflect this care in the creation of these planets.
Following the same recipe from the previous film, we cannot fail to mention one of the most striking characters in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films, his soundtrack, which once again features classics from the 70s, with dancing hymns like Brandy (You 're a Fine Girl), Come A Little Bit Closer and Bring It On Home to Me.
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" matches and even surpasses the first in all aspects. The script is full of humor, which guides all the action. And the jokes work and fit very well in each moment and the technical part stands out and delivers a lot of fun to the viewer. It takes over two hours to fly and leaves us with the feeling that there could be much more.
