Movie was released April 24th here in Australia (we generally get this US '1st week of May blockbuster' on this date, as the 25th April is a public holiday here. So just lucky I guess!
So what did you think?
- The story
- The direction
- The characters
- The sound track!
- Where does it rate compared to the first Guardians, and in the overall MCU and/or CBM genre?
My random thoughts....
I liked:
- Ego's character and threat
- The opening sequence
- Mantis
- The explanation of Quill/Yondu relationship
- Stan Lee's Watcher connection (genius)
- Adam Warlock! And most of the other cameos. Give me that Howard the Duck movie!
- Rocket/Yondu relationship.
- Everything Drax said.
I disliked:
- Not much! But thought perhaps it didn't flow in some parts? I need to watch it again. Baby Groot was amazing, but didn't really have an arc other than being cute.
- Some of the Nebula/Gamora stuff felt a little forced, but not enough to bother me.
- Perhaps a bit too CGI for me, but held together for the most part.
Still very fresh for me!
Initial reaction is I think I enjoyed the first one more... but I might change my mind. As far as MCU sequels go, I think it is only behind Winter Soldier.
