Secondly- I agree with you about Drax. In another movie, it may have been too over the top, but I think it was played note-perfect.
In a movie where I thought they handled the main and secondary characters great-- I mean, why am I caring about Yondo's second-in-command (who I think was played by James Gunn's brother)? But I did. Shouldn't baby Groot jokes have gotten old? They didn't! Am I actually buying this family/sibling bond crap between Nebula and Gamora? I am!
My only complaint was the handling of Rocket- it was a bit too maudlin for his character, but I understand what they were going for. The end just missed by the slightest of margins for me with his character.
Also- because it was far more tongue-in-cheek-- or maybe just "more of what I liked about the first one"-- I think I'd put this one slightly below the first. But I acknowledge that's just an expectation thing. I had no idea what I was going in to with the first one, and this one I got exactly what I wanted.
My wife's only complaint was that she didn't like the sad ending-- to her it felt like it was setting itself up too much as a "middle" movie. And while I see her point, that didn't bother me.Statistics: Posted by Kyle — Mon Jun 19, 2017 11:51 am
