The hipster in me was not impressed - but screw that guy this was fantastic!

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2017)

Star Lord is back blasting and quipping his way across the galaxy; this time in search of his parents. There is no point delving into the plot any deeper than that.
There are so many things about this film that I shouldn't approve of, the indestructible heroes, the repetitive jokes, the cute dancing tree, the tiresome inside gags, the vomit inducing sentimentality. I am the first to gripe about this, lowest-common-denominator stuff in other films.
I don't know what magic Marvel have weaved here, but I loved this film! It was incredibly funny and exciting. The effects are predictably excellent and the settings unusual and interesting The film is a good length and the action pushes things along rapidly.
I somehow managed to pull the stick out my butt – sit down and just enjoy a very well made, light, family movie with a massive grin on my face.
