One of the weaker Marvel Movies

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2019)

Guardians of the Galaxy was a different and unique film that combined elements of the superhero, comedy, and sci fi extremely well. It had a really good pace to it, the characters were fun to hang around with, and it was overall an entertaining ride.
The sequel starts off promising enough, with Star-Lord taking time off guarding the galaxy to spend time with a man that could possibly be his father, but quickly falls of the rails from that point on. Without revealing too much, you get lengthy conversations about feelings and family on a distant planet with no real action, and then you get a plot twist that anyone can see coming a mile away.
The opening is fantastic, the stuff in the third act is great, and there is a sad and poignant moment in the film as well, but it's simply not enough to sustain the film as a whole. There were great ideas here but they weren't well executed.
