Funny, Charming, Colorful, but what about Plot???

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2017)

I watched this movie when it came out in the theaters and also watched it again today. Going into this movie the first time, I had my reservations because of slight dislike of Chris Pratt in the first film. However, I was able to get past the dislike and enjoy every aspect of this movie except the plot.
The comedy from Drax and Mantis was wonderful, Rocket and Star-Lord also incorporated good comedy. Yondo blossoms and becomes lovable as well as the improved relationship of the sisters.
The plot, however, made me cringe. Yes, it was important to discover Peter's origin and why his mother said that his father was from the stars, but this movie could have ignored the Sovereign interaction and changed the idea of the plot. The plot of the movie starts by Ego saving the Guardians from the fleet of Sovereign warcrafts. As the plot progresses, Ego says he is the father of Peter and wants to show him Planet Ego. As obvious as possible, Ego ends up being the villian and trying to get Peter to help him take over the universe.
While the plot was weak, cringe-worthy, and extremely predictable, The entirety of the movie was enjoyable and fun-loving. In my opinion, I would give this movie a 7.5 because of the plot deficiencies, but all around an excellent sequel.
