The Marvel Studios movies are known for Taito logo shirt, light hearted tone, and easy going nature. Like the first film, this film had jokes in it. But I found myself not laughing. A few worked, like when Mantis got hit by falling debree in the final third act battle. But Rocket’s humor was not funny, Star-Lord and Gamora flirting did not amuse me. Sure- some things were funny- some Baby Groot moments were hilarious, that Mantis scene again, Drax and Mantis had a few funny scenes, and when Star-Lord and Rocket were arguing about tape- I guess that was funny, but other than that- most jokes just didn’t land. It was a shame, cause the first movie was so damn funny. But this movie was also so slow. There was barely any action. Majority of the film takes place on Ego’s Planet, and shows Drax falling in love with Mantis, Peter and Gamora getting closer together, and Peter getting to know his father. Whilst the relationships would otherwise be interesting to watch progress, they didn’t progress in the way I wanted. It was really Rocket, Baby Groot, Yondu and Nebula- they are the main characters in this film- Peter, Gamora, Ego, Drax and Mantis all are backseat players for this film. But the action we got also felt lackluster and had way too much CGI, almost like a DC movie. It was either too little action, or too much CGI in the action. The only good action pieces were between the sisters Gamora and Nebula, who had a great cat & mouse story in this film.

Now, one of the Taito logo shirt about this movie going around was the fact that the movie would have the most post credits scenes in any Marvel movie to date. And yes it did. The first one had Kraglin practicing how to use Yondu’s whistle, for he shoots it into Drax. The next one shows Ravenger leader Stakar Ogord reuniting with his original team. For anyone who was confused about what this meant, these people are the original Guardians of the Galaxy from the comics. These characters will reappear in future films. Then we had a scene with the Sovereigns queen, Ayesha, as she devises a new way to capture the Guardians- a thing called Adam. Yes- Adam is a reference to Adam Warlock. In this film we also got to see Howard the Duck and Cosmo the Space-Dog again, which was good. We then got a scene with Teen Groot, and that was pretty hilarious. The last scene is the most interesting. In the film Stan Lee has a cameo where he is speaking to some mysterious figures about his history in the Marvel Universe. Yes- the cameo and the after credits scene of the film reveal Stan Lee is playing the same character in all the MCU movies. He is acting as a watcher on earth. But the Watchers- they looked amazing and I hope this mean Uatu is coming!
