Not as bad as people say, but definitely a waste of time

Rating: 5/10 (21 August 2017)

The biggest problem was the plot. It was not interesting or believable, nor did it warrant the 2+ hours the movie took. Also had some cheesy dialogue, which was disappointing as I found the first movie was able to avoid many clichés. The action sequences were chaotic and too long, and somehow lacked heart; too many people involved, too little that made sense, the heroes randomly surviving things they shouldn't. Sad to say I found Chris Pratt's performance, though not bad, was not as solid as it was in the first movie, though that could have been because of the director. There were some scenes where I found I wasn't sure what emotions he was trying to convey. In summary, it wasn't terrible and it could have been mildly entertaining, if it hadn't been so god damn long.
