Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues with the adventures of Peter Quill/Star-Lord(Chris Pratt), Gamora(Zoe Saldana), Drax(Dave Bautista), Baby Groot(Vin Diesel) & Rocket(Bradley Cooper). This film takes place, a couple of months after the events of Guardians of the Galaxy(2014). Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Baby Groot & Rocket have made it a habit of saving, the various planets of the galaxy from imminent threats. Soon, Star-Lord & the rest of the guardians meet a mysterious man named Ego(Kurt Russell) & Mantis(Pom Klementieff). These two new characters might be the key to discovering, the truth about Peter Quill's father.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is an incredible movie. Script writer & director James Gunn has definitely kicked things up a notch & has given us, a funnier & more epic sequel. The soundtrack is unforgettable. All the songs on Awesome Mix Tape Vol. 2 are foot-tapping & melodious. The humor in the movie is on par with & even surpasses the humor of the original. The visual effects are mind blowing. This film is a treat for the eyes. All the new planets shown in the movie are gorgeous & you just can't tell that they're all created using CGI. The 3D is awesome, with the majority of the film utilizing the technology, that is a norm for almost all big-budget movies these days. The highlights of the film are the performances & Baby Groot, of course. Chris Pratt is spectacular as Peter Quill/Star-Lord. Pratt expands on his character, adding more depth to his portrayal of Quill. Zoe Saldana is brilliant as Gamora. Saldana also explores new avenues of her character. Dave Bautista is outstanding as Drax. Bautista's portrayal is commendable as he delivers all the best zingers of the movie, to hilarious effect. Vin Diesel is adorable as the voice of Baby Groot. One look at Baby Groot in the beginning of the film & your heart will just melt. Bradley Cooper is excellent as the voice of Rocket. Cooper's portrayal repeats what worked so well the first time, with the anthropomorphic raccoon. Michael Rooker is fantastic as Yondu. Karen Gillan is great as Nebula. Pom Klementieff is funny & super cute as Mantis. Kurt Russell is superb as Ego. Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan, Sean Gunn & Sylvester Stallone are impressive as Ayesha, Taserface, Kraglin/On-Set Rocket & Stakar Ogord. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a must watch. I can't wait for the next movie in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
