^I think there's more groundwork laid for the other movies than meets the eye. That last bit with Aeysha's people, for example. Plus it puts several characters in position for Infinity War.

I FINALLY got to see this yesterday. We were going to go on the opening night, but got talked out of it with a promise of seeing in Imax the following Sunday, which didn't happen.
I really enjoyed it, I feel it was a great standalone film. I also think it was missing a little bit of the spark the first movie had, but that's a really hard thing to duplicate.Comment

Late to the party... but WOW!!! What a great time at the movies! This movie hit all the right beats. I was wiping away tears from laughing and crying, and laughing so hard I was crying by the end. Who woulda thought Rocket could have such depth to his character? Technically, this movie was just gorgeous (like the first) to look at. The colorful planetscapes are like old sci-fi comics or novel covers brought to life. Too many jokes? Not for this guy. Just as good as the first. Dave Bautista better be careful, or they're gonna have to give Drax his own spinoff. Just... so good. THIS is the reason I go the movies.Comment

I saw it again Sunday and enjoyed it even more this time. I think I like this one just as much as the first, honestly.

Watched it with my son and daughter last week and what an awesome film we were all laughing.
Such a great sequel my only gripe is no thanos.“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”Comment

Well... looks like James Gunn definitely won't be involved in GotG vol. 3.PUNY HUMANS!Comment

Normally I would say good riddance, but Gunn has done a great job with this franchise and GOTG are not paint by numbers like 75% of the other Marvel films.
Edit: I guess it's over some tweets he made. As a kid I always unknowningly went over the line making jokes so I learned not to have a shock humor gene.
You gotta be careful what you post on social media especially if you work in the corporate world.Last edited by Mr.Marion; Jul 20, '18, 7:30 PM.Comment

It's not really over the tweets he made. I mean it is, but it's because a certain group decided to witch hunt him to find anything they could on him.
And in Gunn's case, he spent a lot of his early career doing outlandish and offensive things (he worked for Troma at one point doing that sort of stuff) and made some sophomoric jokes about unspeakable topics in the form of Twitter jokes. Was it stupid? Sure, but it wasn't like he's out there doing this stuff now. And it's not like he was actually promoting these ideas, many of them come from those "Ruin a movie with a bad title" and such Twitter memes.
He got hosed. He'll be back because there's clearly no real harm done here and absolutely no one was offended, but Disney had to can him because people draw too many false equivalencies and there would be too much faux outrage if they didn't.Comment

It started with him insulting a bunch of fans. That's probably this "certain group" you mentioned.Last edited by LonnieFisher; Jul 20, '18, 8:43 PM.Comment

ALL his own fault. I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. Most hilarious thing is Rian Johnson ruins anything and everything around him. lolComment

I don't believe he should have been fired. The two have nothing to do with each other.
A lot of those are not really jokes. He's kidding around, but it only works as talk among a few friends. To dump that on a giant platform was meant to shock those friends and he dgaf what anyone who didn't get it thought, because they don't matter.
That's the real Gunn, though. This current Abrams-Lite guy is an act.
Peyton Reed will get that gig.Comment
