Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2 is the second installment on the Guardians films as part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film takes us from where we left from the last film and this time the main character, Peter Quill (Starlord) is up for a quest to search his identity. All the main actors from the first film are back for another ride and thrill in this 2017 caper.
With the first Guardians movie being a huge critical and commercial success, it is therefore no secret that the second one is bound to not match the witty humor and the great insights of the original. Although Vol. 2 retains much of the fun of the source with catchy music that pops from time to time and making every scene memorable, this 2nd installment seems not much to offer in terms of character development and so. The insertion of family dynamics into fray may have not worked as much as they expect it but the film was saved by stellar performances from the old cast and the new additions to the team.
We get to see how the heroes become closer with each other but this film has more of a feel that the Guardians are now slowly being merged into the bigger Avengers fray in time for the penultimate Infinity War movies. As usual aside for the wonderful music and the stunning visuals and set design, Vol. 2 gets a solid performance from the cast and still manages to crack some laughs every now and then. The world of the Guardians may start to become a convoluted one but for die hard fans of the original I bet you will go for the ride.
8 out of 10 popcorns for me.
