A handbook in how not to do a sequel

Rating: 6/10 (25 December 2017)

This movie could not be easy to do. The first one had a nearly magical touch and the perfect level of humour, mythology and chemistry between the main characters. In a way it was like a music piece and every tone was matched perfectly.
The second one is not like that at all. The one thing it had going for it was a better enemy but the rest was just squandered in vey childish one liners and complete last of the first movies chemistry between the characters. The story is nearly non existent in this movie but that was the case in the first one aswell. But it didnt matter in the first movie cause all the other elements worked so well. In this movie the humour is not good at all, the first scene when groot dances feels like a disney movie and its to obvious and predictible.
Even the mythology looses its appeal in this over the top humour. It feels like the movie just want to land one liners all the time. It feels forced and its not funny and it messes up the story and even the mythology.
The good thing from this movie is Ego and Mantis. The main characters though are sometimes painfull to watch. Its kind of sad to see funny and kind of intersting characters get reduced to a parody of themselves.
