Back For More 3D Saving And Next One Already on The Way

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2017)

Like the first round, it appears it is always smart to keep the original formula together and keep going. James Gunn writes and directs this one, the same as the first one. A lot of the original cast is back too. It is done with jut a much fun and spirit as the first one.
The formula is to mix up the characters into action using as much comedy as possible and then getting things rolling with a great soundtrack. This film does that tons more. The soundtrack is so well chosen a mix that by itself it is a great sounding film. The songs seem to fit every part of the film so well.
The list of classic songs - 1. Mr. Blue Sky – Electric Light Orchestra 2. Fox on the Run – Sweet 3. Lake Shore Drive – Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah 4. The Chain – Fleetwood Mac 5. Bring it On Home to Me – Sam Cooke 6. Southern Nights – Glen Campbell 7. My Sweet Lord – George Harrison 8. Brandy You're a Fine Girl – Looking Glass 9. Come a Little Bit Closer – Jay and the Americans 10. Wham Bang Shang-A-Lang – Silver 11. Surrender – Cheap Trick 12. Father and Son – Yusuf / Cat Stevens 13. Flashlight – Parliament 14. Guardians Inferno – The Sneepers feat. David Hasselhoff
There is a whole lot of Brandy, which is a great old song whose lyrics are worked into the plot lots. Of course Goldie Hawns husband, Kurt Rusell gets quite a bit of work here. Sly Stallone is not as busy but keeps himself relevant. The 4 women- Zoey, Pom, Karen, and Elizabeth keep things lively with the rival sisters and more.
Stan Lee makes another cameo and is having more fun than anyone should be allowed to enjoy from his own creation. The plot will always be the same. This time, Ego (Russell) is one of 3 threats to the Galaxy, and is trying to enlist his son Peter Quill /Star Lord (Chris Pratt) to team up to build their own Galaxy as EGO has built himself a planet. There is also a Queen chasing Quill and there are some others and a step father who are involved.
The plot is not what is important here. It is the comedy, the action, and the music. The film scores on all 3 points. At about 2 hours and 16 minutes it is long but not too long. Make sure as always to watch the credits for some strange stuff and clues to where the next Vol. 3 is headed. This one is a fun time, for sure.
