Not terrible, but lacked the wit and humor of the first film

Rating: 5/10 (24 April 2017)

I won't say this movie was terrible, but it was really quite disappointing. The first Guardians of the Galaxy I remember I'd absolutely enjoyed. It was funny, witty, well scripted - it was all pieced together very well. While the sequel did have its good moments, it seemed to want to ride on the first film's coattails; rather than make an effort to be a great movie on it's own. Grut's character especially seemed overdone and a bit forced on this one. This franchise really deserves a better sequel. They were off to a great start and it's disappointing and even slightly annoying that they would follow that with such a lukewarm attempt at a sequel.
