Sweeping Strings 2,363 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Thing with Guardians 2 is you can feel it 'straining to entertain' at times ... when baby Groot brings the wrong thing the first couple of times, it's funny. By the fifth or sixth, it's not even raising a smile. And that 'who's got tape?' thing during the climactic action was a drag too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I certainly don't think people who enjoy comedies will automatically like this movie, but I do know people who generally don't often enjoy films that are mostly meant to be comedic. The film was just joyful, inviting, and charming for me from beginning to end and I had no issues with the pacing because I never once found myself thinking "Let's get on with it already."

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I went to a Sneak Preview showing tonight (for those who don't know: it's when you buy a ticket and they don't tell you ahead of time what's playing - usually a film that isn't out for a few weeks). I ended up seeing Kidnap. So you don't have to. Shallow, overscored to within an inch of its life and poorly directed from a lousy script. Stars Halle Berry, but she appears to be in this just to get a producer's credit. Avoid this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon McBride 113 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 Not anywhere near as good as the first one, but I still liked it. The problem I found was that it still tried to be a comedy, but the plot wasn't comedic enough itself. The "serious" nature of the plot didn't mesh well with the comedic tone. They should have just gone balls in with the comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,293 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Guardians 2 may have been strained at times but I enjoyed all the running gags and how they all paid off in some way at the end, and despite Gunn's tendency to undercut most scenes with a "Just kidding!", I still felt more engaged with the characters than I have in any of the other MCU movies, including the first Guardians. So it's probably my favorite one so far. Solid 7/10, a minor triumph when most of these things are as 5 as a 5 can be.... Oh and Tyler Bates's score was surprisingly not so bad. It was even listenable sometimes. Btw, passing resemblance to Liar Liar at the beginning there? That's what it reminded me of, anyway. Something or other from Horner too, probably.

Sweeping Strings 2,363 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'll go today ... there can't be anything in it as dumb as that bit in Prometheus where Charlize Theron forgets that the way to escape being crushed by a rolling spaceship is to run off to one side, out of its path. Can there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,020 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Well... How about a group of scientist landing on a planet they know absolutely nothing about without any protection. Like, you know, some protective suits or stuff you'd normally do if you know nothing about the flora, fauna or other bacteria in this environment. But no, they just take a stroll instantly, splitting into groups and doing all sort of dumb shit. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
