Review

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has a running time of 136 minutes, the movie is PG rated, and start this Wednesday worldwide in the cinemas.
Directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is about Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Baby Groot, and Rocket, who have to save the Universe for another time. They became famous already in the Universe, but still they will be called for jobs, which do not want to be done bt others, so Guardians of the Galaxy do special deals before they do their job. But not everyone of the Guardians is fine with that, especially Rocket not. He wants more, and so he steals something, and so the Guardians of the Galaxy will be the haunted ones. But they will have help from someone unexpected. So the Guardians separate, they havve their own adventures and stories. So there are topics like what is a Guardian, what is his or her role within the team, what does family and being friend mean and what is the future for Guardians of the Galaxy. 

First of all what I can say is, that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is so funny, it is so great to see on the big wall, it is sad sometimes, great effects, settings, and music make Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to an adventure in the cinema.

But let us start with the CAST and Chris Pratt as Star-Lord. He is the main character to tell us the story of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and he is the main character of the group itself. He has a lot gags and jokes, but also deeper moments, a bit too much entertainment. Zoe Saldana is also back again as Gamora, she is hard difference to Star-Lord aka. Peter Quill, she has to face the topics of the movies, especially when she is fighting, her performance is on top. Dave Bautista is Drax, who is better in his performance compared to the first part, he is extremely funny, present, has a lot of screen time, he is not the smarter one but in some moments he turn the situation into the right direction and so the viewer has a lot to laugh about him, because the way he is doing those turning points is just funny. Rockett get more story and more screen time, nice animated, and even if he gets hurt, we feel with him, and we laugh with him. He is so cute. He has e.g. a scene were he has to fight against a lot of opponents, and he is doing that in the smartest way ever. So James Gunn is really good in telling different stories and actions, which do not repeat over and over again. Finally we have Groot, the secret super star of the movie. To avoid telling too much, I will stop talking about the cast right here. I cannot go on talking about the because I might tell you too much information, and you should have fun and be suprised while watching, even though there are still a lot people more in the cast.

I have watched the movie in 2D not in 3D and I watched the OV, not any other languages. This will be important later.

The CAMERA is great. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 shows us what it mean to creat powerful and colorful pictures. We have slow motions, again and again awesome settings of colors and worlds which are just insane to see on the screen. 

The SETTINGS are different places in the Galaxy, I cannot tell you more, you'll see why.

The MUSIC is great, great songs and great general athmosphere when it comes up to sound and EFFECTS. They are strong and the usual look of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

STAY SEATED UNTIL THE END OF THE SCORE AND SCREENS.

What I liked about the movie

is the cast, the figures, the animations, the look, the music and the effects. Everything is on a high level as usual for the MCU, and especially the deeper story of the movie and of the characters is real, and not too much fiction. 

What I did not like about the movie

is the fact, that the storytelling is to much pressured, it wants and wants to be something which is not something like Guardians of the Galaxy, here I am talking about the deeper and harder moments, it asks too much for the purpose of life. Here the movie has something to improve, it could be deeper than it is, it is too much surface scratching.

9/10 for the genre

8/10 overall

But still it is a great movie, one of the best of 2017 for sure, also if we look at the line up of movies from MCU, which will still come this year, and I wish you a lot of fun while watching and thanks for reading.
