My issue is that this seems to be quite a common opinion ever since the movie released and in these 8 months since there hasn't been a single moment where I understood where it comes from. I simply don't understand it, I don't see how the film doesn't do well anything the original did, in fact I think it outclasses it for the most part. And when you love something but can't find barely a single person in all of the internet you can share that love with, it's actually pretty damn frustrating. I just saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 for the 18th time yesterday, and it was as great as ever. So, well... it's just kinda funny we watched it so close to one another, without it being a scripted thing like this thread will be. |
I watched GotG 2 once back in May. It was enjoyable and is definitely a solid 7/10, which is actually pretty good for the MCU. I can see why other people don't like it since it tries to accomplish a lot plot-wise in a 2 hour time slot. All of the subplots are well executed, but putting them all into one movie makes it feel incredibly congested. It's the same problem I saw in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Age of Ultron, and BvS. It also suffers from sensory overload as the audience has to take in so much visual information in the final act that it starts to feel exhausting. Filmmakers should use their resources sparingly with scenes that have large amounts of spectacle as having too much of it dulls the impact. Man of Steel had this problem too... and it made many of the scenes very irritating to watch. Regardless of some of the issues, the camaraderie between the cast, the soundtrack, and the overall visual design of the movie was well executed. If I had to give it a rank, it's probably my 6th favorite in the MCU.
