How did it all go so wrong? >forced jokes >all that sentimental

meh its a decent flick, i like Drax

quill is the most uninteresting character ever

>more quips
>pacman
>shit plot

First one was good except "meme off bro you and me" part but second movie sucks.

They took all the shit parts of the first and made them bigger and louder. 4/10 worst capeshit of the year so far

>>86175884
too many attempts at jokes
terrible pacing
too many storylines

still better than most capeshit though

It's good. Development for characters like Quill, Yondu, Kraglin, Rocket, Nebula. Finally a good villain. And the team is a nice group that fits together unlike the Avengers. Wouldn't mind watching them on their average day without galaxy saving.

>>86175884
Careful OP, you'll upset the redditors that are currently jerking each other in the other GoTG thread

>>86176284
It actually put me in a good mood. If the Punisher would be the thing I like the most in the MCU (if he can be counted as a part of it) then the Guardians would be on the opposite side of the spectrum of things that I enjoy in it.

Things like Civil War would be in the middle. Generic, mindless punchfest.

Agreed. Punisher is the best out of tv-marvel stuff and GoTG with Antman are funny capekinos. Rest of Defendors and Avengers with agents of SHIIEEET can go fuck themselves.

>>86176929
Volume 1 was a really fun space adventure with almost perfect pacing, jokes that were actually funny and didn't feel forced (inb4 meme off) and an identity that felt its own.
2 is a lazy sequel. Like I said, it's better than most capeshit, but considerably worse than 1 in almost every way

Gave me a headache to watch. Kurt Russell's interviews were good though. He has either perfected the art of bullshit or is really optimistic and loves reading into this stuff.

Fondu dying was probably the stupidest part of any superhero movie ever. Not necessarily him dying, but the way it happened. It was completely nonsensical. It was also stupid for a comedy to try and raise imaginary dramatic stakes. At first I was sort of annoyed, but now I realize that Rooker will more than likely use the exposure to do some decent movies in the coming years. Looking forward to them.

People keep mentioning the pacing, but other than that increasingly hard to watch introduction I think it was paced fine. Was the story great? No, but oh well.
The real problem was the editing. The scenes didn't flow at all. Maybe it was the way they were shot, maybe the editor just sucked. We'll never know.

Yeah, it felt really forced and wasn't funny because of overacting.

>>86177630
He had nothing else to do. There were no goons to kill in the movie except for the pirates but he was somewhere else at the time.
Honestly why didn't they think that Rocket might need more help. Instead they left him with a dangerous prisoner and a small bunch of twigs all in the open with their precious ship.

>>86175884
Only just watched this for the first time earlier. I enjoyed the first, thought it was a great flick, probably one of my prefered superhero films despite prefering the edgy, grim-dark DCEU (and despite "dance off breh"). This film was garbage. Badly paced, meme-fuel, in your face "please laugh at this joke" situations every 5 seconds, average storyline, and generally bad acting (or maybe that's just because of the insistence on joking every line).
>that fucking ending
Boy I can't wait to be called boring and told that I hate fun by my normie friends.

Are the guardian movies excellent proof that its a good thing that troma never got hollywood budgets?

Why did James Gunn do Groot's dance moves for the fight at the opening instead of hiring a professional dancer?

His dancing seemed somewhat strange to be focused on instead of what was going on the background given that the dancing didn't come out to be that interesting. That seemed like a bit of a let down.

>>86175884
Just finished watching this. Beautiful film really. BOth on visual and story. Some genuine touching moments, just enough to make you tear up a little. The jokes were funny as well. James Gunn is one genius bastard.

>>86182726
groot is not a professional dancer, it's just supposed to be a kid grooving to music.

>if you don't like this two hour long nonsensical CGI nightmare version of a bad futurama episode is because you hate fun
Wtf i have to buy the bluray now!

>>86183369
I moderately agree with these points.
Well at least it made me feel something. Can't say the same about other superhero movies from 2015 onwards except for Logan.

Jokes on you, I liked it. It was fun and only had one or two bad "jokes".

And no, I'm not from reddit.

>>86184124

Most genre movies with super high RT scores are generic and universally inoffensive.

Personally I am more likely to really enjoy something if it's around the 40% to 60% mark.

Careful Pajeet.

This was one of the better MCU films. I haven't heard any legitimate criticism yet other than you personally didn't find it funny. The audience it was targeted at did. What about the pacing was off? The sentiment connected in the theater I was in.This film was anything but boring. Very exhilarating action sequences. I'd say the only the bad part was the Pacman insert. the film undercuts it's serious moments with comedy a tad too much, but that's not an incredible fault.

>>86175884
My main problem with this film is the amount of jokes they forced into it, it feels like they're trying too hard to capture the feeling of the first film. I did enjoy it overall though.

>>86175884
Had to turn it off half way in. Damn it was boring.

>I haven't heard any legitimate criticism yet

The way Yondu died felt totally forced redundrant because it was a straight up copy of the Groot sacrifice in Vol 1.

Also Kurt Russell trying to recruit Starlord by telling him he murdered his mother made made no sense at all for someone so acutely aware and savvy in the ways of humanity. It was simply bad writing.
_________

There, now you have.

>>86185976
The pacing is glacial through the first two acts, and the whole "split them off in pairs and have them speak all their deepest truths to each other" bit was almost insultingly self-aware in its contrivance.

Too many of the gags either fall completely flat or suffer from Seth MacFarlan syndrome, wringing all the funny out of themselves to the point of taking a perfectly healthy horse, beating it to death, and then gleefully beating the dead horse they just made, pausing for effect, then drubbing it just a bit more.

And lastly, the entirety of the plot relies on two astronomically huge coincidences. They are:

>Yondu, after having played the part of Ego's kidnapper for who knows how many decades, just so happens to develop a soft spot for Quill, the one viable heir that Ego's managed to spawn in millions of years of trying. The alternative, that Quill was Yondu's first abduction, is even more unbelievable.

>Ego, in spite of millions of years of experience with lesser beings and having absolutely nothing to gain from revealing himself as the source of Quill's mother's cancer, chooses to do so at exactly the worst possible moment.

>>86184124
>Remind me why we keep sperging out over RT scores on this board again?

I fucking hate this overused trope. It's 2017 so why can't people come up with a better story? I can easily forgive the turd jokes but holy shit, I knew how the story was going from the very beginning because the twist was that obvious.

It was a good watch.

But I swear some characters were just shouting throughout.

Nebula, Ego and Stallone was the only character that didn't feel forced. (Which for sly was a miracle.)

>>86187788
>Ego, in spite of millions of years of experience with lesser beings and having absolutely nothing to gain from revealing himself as the source of Quill's mother's cancer, chooses to do so at exactly the worst possible moment.

He's on that galactic perspective shit 24/7 that Quill got hooked into. You notice Quill's behavior changed when he was seeing things that way. He was just casually accepting genocide up to that because he could see through the lens of eternity.

I didn't mind the Yondu thing either. The crew of the ship seemed to have a soft spot for Earth's music (cloning it, playing it during a scene or two.) It might have been just an emotional connection with Earth's ways. Who knows?

Or maybe Yondu had no idea what was happening to those kids UNTIL Quill. In fact didn't he say as much?

I've got other problems with the movie (they could have cut at least half of the jokes out and the story beats were predictable to put it lightly) but I don't see those as being too much of a stretch.

>>86187788
>Yondu, after having played the part of Ego's kidnapper for who knows how many decades, just so happens to develop a soft spot for Quill, the one viable heir that Ego's managed to spawn in millions of years of trying.

Perhaps Yondu was unknowingly drawn to Quill precisely because of his Celestial-ness. Perhaps they all are.

You mean the primary audience for all capeshit? Yes. Even the Zack Snyder shit is primarily for kids, funny enough.

The only bad things about the movie were a few missed jokes (that missed really hard, like Taserface) and Dairy Queen. Everything else was mediocre to great. Decent flick. Nothing to get mad about. I didn't feel guilty that I supported Marvel after watching it, which is pretty good.
