I was lucky enough to see this on 20/4 at an industry screening which
allowed me to sit on the film for a few days before I gave a review. I
can safely say GotG Volume 2 absolutely wowed me. I can't believe these
bunch of lovable misfit a-holes made one of the most MATURE themed
films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is visually gorgeous.
The use of colour, design and the straight up imagination of the source
material outstand any MCU film prior. The action is glorious and
astonishing. One scene in particular, I was jaw-dropped in its entirety
as direction, action-choreography and music all came together so
harmoniously. And THE MUSIC! What an eargasmic soundtrack. The songs
are more poetic this time around and fit the subtext of the film
perfectly. The trailers gave me the feel of the first movie; a
straight-up Sci-fi action-comedy with a simple point A to B plot.
GotGV2 is so much MORE than this! This film is patient with its
characters and there is an emphasis on growth and family. It manages to
balance 7-8 characters and gives almost all of them a satisfactory
emotional arc. There is so much to chew on here with the issues and
motifs felt by certain characters and I applaud that! This film is
vastly different and I'm glad because I just love these characters so
much! They are still so fun and energetic. It's great to see the team
again and how their dynamic transforms. Also I forget to mention, the
film is laugh-out-loud funny! All thanks to Drax who is by far the most
comedic character and put me stitches.
Overall, this was both (I can't believe I'm saying this about the
Guardians of the Galaxy) an emotionally dense and exciting blast. If
Guardians 1 is the fast-paced Sci-Fi adventure like Star Wars was in
1977, then Vol. 2 is the deeper & richer film that takes its time to
expand our beloved characters; just like Empire Strikes Back.
