Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Film Review


Finished watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, directed by James Gunn and staring Chris Pratt, Laura Haddock, Kurt Russell, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Elizabeth Debicki, Karen Gillan and Pom Klementieff. The film opens with a flashback to Peter Quill's (Chris Pratt) parents Meredith (Laura Haddock) and Ego (Kurt Russell) on Earth before the film jumps to a more present time were the Guardians have been hired by a race known as the Sovereign to protect their power batteries as Star Lord, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista) and Rocket (Bradley Cooper) along with Groot (Vin Diesel) who is currently a baby due to the aftermath of the first movie, are in a fight between a giant space kraken looking creature. After defeating the creature the leader of the Sovereign, Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) pays the Guardians by handing over Nebula (Karen Gillan), as the Guardians plan to get the bounty on Nebula by taking her to the Nova Corps. However just as the team leave the Sovereign begin to attack them because Rocket stole some of the batteries for himself with leads to the Guardians to crash land on a nearby planet where the team finally meet Ego and his assistant Mantis (Pom Klementieff). Overall this was an amazing film as it builds upon each character after their first appearance in the first movie with the theme of family being the driving force of the film which brings some amazing character development. The comedy throughout the film is always on point thanks to some amazing comedic timing which is in part to the well written script and how the actors interact with each other. The soundtrack is amazing thanks to the way it works within the context of the film from adding and extra layer of emotion to making some scenes even more hilarious. 9.5/10.
