Great Sequel! 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 2017)

Review: I really enjoyed this movie, just like the first one, and I couldn't help laughing through the whole of the first half. The witty script worked extremely well, and the crazy soundtrack, along with a decent storyline, made this epic sequel a must watch. The movie kicks off with the Guardians of the Galaxy saving the world, once again, and when they go to give the Golden Queen, Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki), some precious batteries, Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) decides to steal them back, and they end up on the run from Ayesha's soldiers. With nowhere to go, and there ship under severe attack, a little man comes out of nowhere, and destroys all of the ships that are attacking them. When they finally land the ship in the middle of nowhere, they are approached by Peter Quills (Chris Pratt), dad Ego (Kurt Russell), who takes them to his Wonderland, which amazes them all. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) finds the whole situation a bit weird, while Drax (Dave Bautista) bonds with Ego's righthand girl Mantis (Pom Klementieff). After listening to his dads plans for the future, and the reasons why he left his mum, Peter soon realises that his dad has an inner evil, which isn't good for the world, so the Guardians are forced into battle against the evil Ego. There are many other elements to the film but that is the core of the movie. With such a deep backdrop, including the evil Queen and the Ravagers going wild, the comedy was top class, and baby groot was a brilliant addition to the crew. You can definitely see were every penny of the budget went, especially with the CGI characters, and the action scenes were also pretty impressive. The first scene, were the Guardians are fighting the big monster, was put together extremely well, and it was a great opening to a great franchise. I think you can tell that I really enjoyed this film, and I can't wait for the 3rd movie. Great!
Round-Up: The question that I have about this film is, Are they going to join this franchise to the other Marvel movies? They don't really have super powers, and the Guardians are based in space, so I don't know how they would do it! Anyway, this movie was directed by James Gunn, 51, who also brought you the first movie in this franchise, along with Slither, Super and Movie 43. Judging by the ending of the movie, it seems like there is going to be a 3rd Guardians, which is rumoured that he will direct but there hasn't been any leaks as of yet. I just hope that they don't get all serious with the next one, because the humour is what makes this a unique classic.
Budget: $200million Worldwide Gross: $863million
I recommend this movie to people who are into their Sci-fi/action/adventures, starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Karen Gillan, Seth Green, Ving Rhames and Michelle Yeoh. 8/10
