The first half was terrific...the last half, not so much!

Rating: 6/10 (10 October 2017)

At this point, this film has made nearly $400,000,000 domestically and had nearly 800 reviews. Needless to say, it's a hit and my review sure ain't gonna change that! But, I did just see the film and with my compulsive need to be IMDb's most prolific reviewer, I decided to contribute yet another review.
The fist portion of "Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2" impressed me. In particular, I found myself laughing very often at Drax (Dave Bautista), as he was hilarious and often said the most horrible and inappropriate things. He was, to me, the best thing about the film. As for the rest, it was just fine until about midway through the movie. Then, the plot and what happened after that didn't make a lot of sense (such as multiple baddies suddenly becoming good guys/gals) and instead the picture solely focused on insanely big and explosive special effects. It's as if they were telling you to turn off your brain and enjoy the rest of the film on a very primal level. As for me, I didn't wanna turn off my brain and thought the second half of the film was a HUGE disappointment. The first portion, I'd give an 8 or 9...I really liked it. The second, I'd give a 2 or 3....I really hated it. Overall, 6 seems fair.
