Utterly silly, utterly off beat, hippie, sci fi mash up that works.....

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2017)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 works in spite or maybe that's because of itself.
This is an utterly silly, off beat, kinda hippie, psychedelic sci fi, mash up. And guess what, that's no bad thing! I had a completely engrossing and enjoyable time watching this visually clever flick that creates what can best be described as "action mosaics", blended with weird 60's comic book throw back sci fi elements.
There's a "contained madness" and "layered chaos" to be found in these films with wonderful, funny, over the top characterizations you can't help but like. And at times, sympathize with.
Chris Pratt and Kurt Russell, for me, really steal the show. That said, this in no way detracts from the solid performances handed in by other cast members.
If you have not seen the latest addition to the zany Guardians franchise, take a look. If you like your sci fi outlandish and over the top, I think you'll love it. Eight out of ten from me.
