Another action packed, fun filled, hilarious Guardians Film!

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2017)

I went and saw Guardians of The Galaxy 2 last night and it delivers the goods as expected. High throttle space adventure with humor and action at every turn.
The film will also address and answer some question's we (the viewer ) may have had origin wise after the first film and naturally opens up doors for ongoing Marvel multiverse sagas.
I did not see the first film in the theatre even at the suggestion of a friend telling me how good it was. Although I am a comic book fan I could not get my head around the whole raccoon shooting a machine gun aspect. I was wrong. Dead wrong ,the first film leaves you loving every one of these characters and I would not make the same mistake twice.
Guardians 2 picks up shortly after the end of the first film. The soundtrack Awesome Mix Vol.2 provides an excellent backdrop to the scenes it compliments. Chris Pratt's Star-Lord is wonderful once again as he plays the all heart and soul heroic lead. Zoe Salanda returns as the lovely Gamora who in addition to the her kick ass no nonsense character from the first film has personal conflicting issues of her own to address in this installment. Dave Bautista's Drax the Destroyer entertains and shines throughout the entire film his humor, misplaced sincerities and fighting reckless abandon make him a favorite of the guardians for me.
The team is missing some muscle as opposed to the first go round as Groot is now Baby Groot no longer the bad guy bodying henchman once again voiced by Vin Disel. What Groot lacks in physical stature in this film he certainly makes up for in charm. It is worth noting that while short handed groot's strength we see the Guardians functioning and fighting in cohesion as a team which is a joy to see.Rocket voiced by Bradley Copper's space tech weaponry alone is a special effects vision to experience.
We are also introduced to a good amount of new exciting characters as well as some outstanding cameo's. Strong supporting performances as well from Karen Gillian as Gamora's sister Nebula who returns as well as many others. Mantis a new character in the Guardians saga is characterized by Pom Klementieff and provides the film with an emotional and sincere aspect as well.
My personal favorite in the film is Michael Rooker's Ravager Leading space pirate Yondu Udonta. The character is fun exciting, funny,emotional and and in certain moments in this installment downright excellent. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 humor, action , excitement and emotion throughout. Definitely a movie you see in the theatre,definitely should not be missed.
