Surprised i'm starting this thread.
Well, I must admit I was worried about this movie. I really hate a sequel loaded with call backs and copying the beats of the first ones and the opening credits had me worried that it would be too jokey.
I also thought the biggest strength of the first one was the comedy plus tragedy. If this was going to be straight comedy, it wasn't going to work for me.
Well, i'm wrong. The movie still has a lot of heart, the main theme is family and every character grows a bit. They also flesh out more one dimensional characters from the first. Baby Groot being the exception, that's pretty much an excuse to sell dolls but it was done very well.
The story is not a retake of the first and i happily went in spoiler free. Kurt Russell has been pretty hammy lately in recent movies but he's great in this, his younger cgi version was amazing and everything the terrifying monsters in "Rogue One" weren't.
Honestly, this movie is a lot of fun but it also clicks. The big stand out for me is the comic timing of Dave Bautista, who knew?
