The Marvel Studios movies are known for Official Life Is Soup I Am Fork Lizbie T 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, lets get to the positives, and a lot of this come from the second half of the Official Kira Give Yourself Time To Rest Shirt. There is no better, or cuter place to begin than with Baby Groot, who is again played by Vin Diesel. Yes after Groot sacraficed his life for his friends in Guardians Vol. 1, he now has respwaned a baby. And yes, whilst I thought he was a liability to the team, he was cute in certain moments. I loved in the first battle when he was dancing, whilst the rest of the Guardians were being thrown around and destroyed. I liked it when he yelled in the Rocket/Yondu escape scene. But probably my favourite moment with Baby Groot- was when he was taking the bomb to Ego’s brain and started crying like a baby when the walls started to close in on themselves. That was just perfect. They never overused Baby Groot which was good, and I am really excited for Teenager Groot in Avengers: Infinity War, because he was amazing in the post credits scenes. Mantis, played by Pom Klementieff, was perfect. She seems like a good addition to the Guardians. Her power set was quite interesting and I loved her dynamic with Drax majority of the time. She was also quite funny and brought about some of the truly funny moments of the film. Her costume and look was perfect to the comics. Well done James Gunn.
