Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2019)

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is a gem of a movie. Honestly, I prefer this to the original which I still like, but this installment is leaps better than the original. It has a better soundtrack, a better story, a better villain in Ego, played brilliantly by none other than 80's icon Kurt Russell. It also has some great vistas that I've never seen before in a space opera. All the sequences on Ego's planet are beautiful to behold, they're literally why the term eye candy was coined. Star Lord's battle with Ego at the end is both fun and heartbreaking at the same time. Having a father as a living planet has dire consequences for not just Starlord and his friends but the galaxy as a whole. Definitely a must watch for MCU fans and movie goers alike.
