Oh I'm sorry Mr. Right Opinion, I swear I didn't mean any harm.
(ugh...) You say you work in cinema though, so that explains a lot. I feel most of the people who do don't really value artistic direction too much. You say everyone in the medium thinks TFA was "well executed", and that's exactly the point - I think most people can agree TFA was well "executed", but it was terrible from an artistic point of view. No creativity, no vision, it felt like a simple rehash made for a few (billion) simple bucks. Same can be said about GotG Vol. 2, I think. If you go into it looking for flaws and looking for the moment where the script fails or slows down, of course it'll be worse than the first one, because it really does do that. I do think in that sense it's a more "flawed" movie than the first (though I still disagree, I think the first movie's pacing is actually far worse, because it constantly drops these stupid Ronan scenes all the time when you just couldn't care less about him), but artistically there's so much more value to it. It feels a lot more genuine, it feels far more different from at least other Marvel movies (whereas the first one was pretty much Space Avengers with +4 charm), the characters are developed much deeper and it has an actually very satisfying, and emotional, conclusion to the story, unlike the first one which was just kinda done. |
Are you really trying to say GoTG Vol2 is an artistic movie? Because that's really laughable for a movie that's basically the equivalent of a rollercoaster. And even worse, are you suggesting I don't see the artistic value in movies? You? The guy that thinks GoTG Vol 2 is one of the best movie ever made? My favourite directors include people like Lars Von trier, Igman Bergman, Stanley Kubrick, Spike Jonze, Wong Kar Wai, Zhang Yimou, Michael Haneke, Pedro Almodovar, David Lynch and a long etc, don't you think those guys are artistic and creative enough? The kind of cinema I have always liked is highly artistic, so i really don't know where are you getting that from, in fact you probably haven't seen a single movie of any of those directors, how are you suposed to know what kind of movie has any artistic value to beging with?
Gotg vol 2 is not bad executed from a technical pov is just way dumber than the first one, way more unbalanced and too excesive, at certain points feels like a parody of the franchise, it is still overall a good enternainment but it doesn't reach the impression that the first one left at all, a movie that was very refreshing as a blockbuster to spend the time with friends and eat some popcorns, GoTG is not exactly high level cinema from an artistic pov is just good cinema for evasion, a good spectacle for sure but it barely has any strong artistic value to beging, its pure and simple entertainment and vol 2 is just not as satisfactory in that regard as the first one.
