Good fun, adventure film...

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 2019)

I ought to start by saying that I love Chris Pratt - he just oozes charisma and has an on-screen presence that is elusive amongst the superhero/Marvel genre. As sequels go, this is pretty decent. The talking skunk and the tree are less annoying than in the first film, and the story is packed full of action, humour and fun. Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone have their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks and Zoe Saldana is great as the bad-ass Gamora. Not as good as the original - maybe because the soundtrack isn't, it is a touch too long and don't expect it to engage your brain too often - but it is entertaining nonetheless.
