Who is the Bad Dad

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2017)

Took my 8th grade boys and their buddies to this, and I'm glad they seemed to enjoy it. Saw the first film with just my kids and the mesh of music and intergalactic goofiness was, well, stellar.
For me, this was not supernova, and more of a reheated dwarf. But it could be I'm just jaded, at least one of the boys loved the whole "Tazerface" gag. And a planet called "Ego", ugh-o. Unspoken love that gets spoken? And did Stallone's agent pay for him to be inserted? Sorry to say this just felt phoned in from the opening dancing mini-Groot all the way to the bonus Teenage Grootland. I mean I'll cry at some commercials, but even the Cats Steven's "Father and Son" missed its mark by a Hallmark card. Left me high and dry and alienated.
I see the high rating for this at present, but let's check back in when GotG-3 comes out in what, four months, and see if my five was not overly fair. I don't think I'm taking subconscious umbrage with the Dad gone bad nature of the film. I'm not the Bad Dad, am I?
