[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9036281, member: 7035894"] I thought it was forgettable popcorn entertainment. I loved the first one. I saw it five times in the theatre. I saw the second one once. It was fine. Starting to get too sentimental and predictable. SPOILERS!!!! This one was weirdly sentimental and callous at different times. The animal buddies were a cheap pop and basically existed to show that the High Evolutionary is really EEEEEEVUL. He's the least developed villain Marvel has ever had - why did he do what he did, anyway? Obsessed with perfection or something? Why? And every line was delivered as a kind of hysterical shout. Also, with all the technological prowess he was shown possessing, specifically around biology, that was the best he could do for a new face? Okay. And then a whole planet full of sentient animals was wiped out with really zero emotional consequences (it was entirely wiped out, right? It's kind of unclear in the film). Also, that planet's entire sentient population could only have been at most, what, a few decades old given the timeline of the film, yet their world was completely lived in, with beater cars, slums, etc. That just didn't make any sense. Peter was a drunk at the beginning and then he wasn't. Okay. Gamora has a new family in the Ravagers now? Okay. Adam Warlock had a pro wrestling character turn, from heel to babyface over the course of a few minutes. I dunno - not for me. On the other hand, Gunn's [I]Peacemaker[/I] series was fantastic, so it's not like the guy lost it. More like after getting burned by Disney he decided to make the most Disney-fied version of Guardians imaginable. "You don't want anything remotely edgy, huh? Okay, I'll give you family friendly. Have some baby raccoons." Not for me. [/QUOTE]
