After searching the galaxy for his father, Peter finally finds him. He also finds betrayal, forgiveness, and a deadly new foe who is out to rule the galaxy.
Chris Pratt (Peter/Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Vin Diesel (Baby Groot), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Michael Rooker (Yondu), Kurt Russell (Ego), Sylvester Stallone (Ogord), Karen Gillan (Nebula).
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 finds the heroes still searching for Star Lord's father but when he is found, he isn't the man they thought. Instead they find he is focused on ruling the galaxy. Fortunately the journey is much more interesting than the plot description with a lot of action, heavy fantasy visuals, and some enjoyable humor. Though this one may not find the depth of the original, the story is fun, fast, and very entertaining.
Acting was solid with Pratt delivering a very good performance. Saldana was enjoyable, if a bit dry. Rooker did exceptionally well in his role and added nicely to the storyline. Russell was solid as always, as was Stallone. The remainder of the supporting cast was solid. Groot, though an animation, is my favorite character and brings a fun element to the story.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds which are all tightly integrated with CGI are nicely done. Action scenes, with and without CGI, are well done and enjoyable with strong energy. Dialogue is campy, corny, and fun throughout. Sound and soundtrack were supported with awesome 80's tunes and very enjoyable.
While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 may not have the unique plot depth of the original, it is still quite a bit of fun and very entertaining. Fans of the first film or of outlandish sci-fi fantasy films should enjoy this one.
With some mild innuendo and sexuality, excessive violence, some foul language, and potentially disturbing scenes, this one will be hard to keep away from teens but should be okay.
