Ken Aldred Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Stallone's 70 already, but I suppose that with the de-aging software which was used on Michael Douglas in Ant-Man he could continue to play Starhawk for quite some time yet. Not something that appeals to me, but possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if they were going to do Guardians prequels now that they introduced us to the characters, which then would give them a long runway without worrying about older cast members.

Meeklo Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just got back from seeing this...awesome friggin' movie! Just as good as the first with even more humor. Cannot wait until we can talk about this spoiler free...James Gunn is a damn liar! Spoiler Ego as a planet was amazing and the confirmed nod to Adam Warlock was great!

It focused more on character/relationship development- the natural development you would expect for these characters after the first one. So while nothing surprising happened with the relationship development, it was something that was good to see IMO. Thought they could have used a better villain honestly. And the villain and a major supporting character/thorn in the team's side had basically the same plan. I really agree with this. I just didn't love this movie and I thought a lot of the jokes were really lame, Drax was really funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumantorch Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Saw it tonight. Thought the story was weak but did laugh a lot. 7 out of 10 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r100comics Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) I had high hopes for this one but it is awful - 5/10. There's no real plot until Spoiler the end, when Ego reveals his true intentions. It's hard to believe it's made by the same people who did GOTG 1 as it feels so forced - like an incompetent writer & director tried to copy the original but got nearly every decision wrong. They went overkill on average songs, many jokes were unfunny, embarrassingly & cringingly so on quite a few occasions, like an old uncle trying to get down with the cool kids, and it was ridiculously sentimental without making any emotional impact. Seeing the Celestial destroy the planet was one of the coolest bits of GOTG 1 so why....... Spoiler make Ego a Celestial, he's a living planet which is cool in itself. I hope they haven't screwed up using the real Celestials in future as that would be one of the best cosmic storylines they could do.

It would be disappointing if the humour falls flat for me when I watch GOTG 2 on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdoginohio Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Saw it last night(the missus is a baby Groot fan) and thought it was good. Weak story, but lotsa easter eggs and cameos. Only question is... Spoiler why not make Russell The Gardener instead of Ego? Infinity stone in the noggin. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyTheAbyss Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Tickets, popcorn, ice, and some candy...about 50$ for two people. Well spent for a fun evening No, it's not better than the first movie (but that's a pretty high bar). There's a lot of fun moments (Drax is hilarious). I left the theatre feeling good...didn't feel cheated or disappointed. The end credits were also pretty cool. I had to explain two of them to my friend because she didn't understand the significance of them. We all enjoy that "I know more than you" moment Overall...8.5 (worth seeing again, worth buying the DVD to add to the collection) AGGIEZ and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Variant Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I saw both Guardian of the Galaxies I & II as part of a double feature, both in 3D. My wife and I had a great time, as well as the packed theater, based on the cheers, laughs, and applause throughout the movie. I would say the first movie was slightly better, but this one was every bit as enjoyable. I think I enjoyed the opening more than any other part of the movie.

Bosco685 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Box Office Mojo confirmed the production budget is $200MM, which is $32MM less than what the first movie costs. And it has already exceeded $167MM just in International Box Office early numbers. Sounds like a massive hit ahead from these early indicators.

AGGIEZ Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) "I'm Marry Poppins Ya'll!"...put it on a t-shirt and I'm in. So hilarious! My 8 and 9 year old boys love it. A little more cussing than I'd have liked for those two, but whatever. I loved it. I agree, I didn't like it as much as #1, but it was damn good. A few of the jokes fell flat and some of them were just forced, but overall a very funny movie. Edited May 6, 2017 by AGGIEZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
