Epic Space Superhero Action Comedy Vol 2

Those are the exact words I used to describe Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 to someone who avoids superhero films. I agree with the observation that there are so many of them and it's difficult to tell them apart. But I absolutely loved the first film and it's still holding up as my favorite Marvel movie so far. I was hoping the second out of the Guardians would take the torch but I failed to really connect with this movie.

My boyfriend and I went to a local theater that's under some construction. They had just put in new recliner seats, which are becoming a great bonus of seeing movies. It was discount Tuesday (thank God for discount Tuesday) and we went to a late night showing. By late night, I mean after nine when I am usually in pajamas and zoning out on YouTube videos. It was mostly empty which I was surprised at. I think I was hoping for a more audience driven experience. In retrospect, it would have helped me get more excited and lost in the film. Because it was just my boyfriend and I, we were left to pick apart the film and roll our eyes at allllll theeeeee speechesssssss.

It was too sentimental and sappy for me. I sighed out loud and said, "Really?" under my breath too many times to count. I get it, they are no a family. Just don't beat me over the head with it. I did love all the post credit scenes. There are five total, so unless you don't care don't leave the film until the very end. They don't really play into how the Guardians will fold into the Avengers story line in an obvious way. They seemed like little funny clips to amuse, not intrigue.

The next film up is Thor: Ragnarok and that one has me a little hype. I just hope it doesn't disappoint me like this one did.
