Review Film "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2"

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 did a "sin" commonly done by the sequel to the blockbuster movie, but got away with sticking to the flavors and formulas that made his first film a success. Yeah, I said that this movie is not as good as Guardians of the Galaxy. Nevertheless, he is still better than most modern superhero movies that often only contain the visual effects parade without essence.

Three years ago, the Guardians of the Galaxy became a surprise hit with revenues of more than three quarters of a billion dollars from around the world. While superhero movies are usually built on self-serious topics such as personal conflicts or villains that threaten the world, the Guardians of the Galaxy brings them more cheerfully into a refreshing dish. Departing from an unknown superhero, now maybe some spectators instead idolize a tree monster or a speech raccoon. With such high expectations, the only way is go bigger, perhaps. We can feel that the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 seems to feel obliged to be more funny, more exciting, and more spectacular, which really does not matter if he does not try too hard.

I do not mean to say that this movie is no longer funny, exciting, and spectacular. The hilarious dynamics of the characters, the imaginative universe and the dazzling visual effects still exist, but now it feels a bit pushy. The film is still written and directed by its first filmmaker, James Gunn. Perhaps realizing that his treats were no longer fresh and had lost the shock effect, Gunn doubled them all up. I think there is a certain dose for jokes, plots and characters that can be loaded in a movie.

Movie Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, Film Review, Film Review B. UK
The center is still our team, the galactic keepers: Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), man, uh, half the god who was called Star Lord; Gamora (Zoe Saldana), a tough green female alien; Drax (Dave Bautista), the stocky supercontinent who has a humorless sense of humor; Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), intelligent raccoons that are mouthed; and, of course, Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) the now very adorable little tree monster. They got a mission from the golden alien brass, Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) to retrieve the precious batteries that were then partially turned by Rocket. The wrathful Ayesha sends his army to hunt down the Guardians before being saved by the Ego.

This is not a spoiler: Ego is the biological father of Quill. Sehalu my explanation, he is not human but "celestial" that can be juxtaposed with the gods. He can take human form in the form of Kurt Russell. Ego created a planet that contains a garden and a castle with a super decor. He says he has spent a lot of time searching for this long-lost child. But really, I think you can smell bad.

Meanwhile, Rocket and Groot are left with the Nebula (Karen Gillan) - Gamora sister, if you still remember - have to deal with the youth team led by the blue Yondu (Michael Rooker) who even leads to the joining of Yondu with our Guardian team. As they are all imprisoned on a space ship, Yondu recounts his past with Quill that automatically jumps him off the side character into one of the most important characters in the Guardians of the Galaxy universe.

While Quill reestablished the relationship with his father, including throwing a ball because the throwing ball seemed to be a father-son iconic routine, Gamora also had to solve the problem with his sister Nebula who chased him down to the Ego planet. The mechanics of the plot became a kind of Star Trek ala-ala, where Quill and Gamora this time were under the spotlight, while others were laughing at the back; Drax had a romantic interaction with Mantis (Pom Klementieff), an Ego boy who had big eyes and two antennas, and Rocket and Groot trying to escape from prison.

I love the opening scene which is actually a sequence of action. Groot's baby danced to ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" song, while his colleagues were fighting half to death against a giant octopus monster in the background. This cool. The camera focuses only on Groot, confirming that Gunn is confident in his style and does not want to show off action sequences. Unfortunately, the film then tries too hard accentuating these two elements. The result is good but not exciting.

Is Gunn still decrying old songs for action scenes? Of course - some of them are Brandy (You're Fine Girl) "Looking Glass and" The Chain "of Fleetwood Mac - but the executions are not as impressive as the previous films, and the curses and bantering thrown as often as possible, some of them missed. always engrossed in listening (Cheers, David Hasselhoff, Mary Poppins) and Groot is always adorable views, but the Rocket jokes are just a hit.

(Cheers, David Hasselhoff, Mary Poppins) and Groot are always adorable views, but the Rocket jokes are only a matter of "Taserface." I think the number of jokes in the wrong place injures their intensity. throwing jokes everywhere.

Its sequence of actions involves special effects attacks, visually admirable despite minimal intensity. The digital environment is at different levels. Not much can be like Gunn in making explosions and special effects overload that still feels entertaining despite its hectic and almost dimensional composition. The climactic scene contains many explosions. Gunn is able to lift the classic superhero movie moments, including some clichés of cinema such as romance between prototypes and hero shots in slow-motion, not looking so cheesy.

But what is Gunn's highest skills here is in commercial terms. He not only succeeds in arranging this unfocused narrative without being wasted (seriously, the small details at the beginning turn out to have a meaning at the end), but also succeeded in presenting the continuity of establishing a portion of this story with the vast universe of MCU without narrating the narrative. We may not remember Gamora carrying a rifle as big as a bike, but the cameo from Sylvester Stallone and Michelle Yeoh will leave an impression. At one time, in an MCU movie, we could say, "Oh, they originally appeared in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2".
