Went to see it yesterday (Saturday) and I agree with whoever said it wasn't as good as the first one. They threw everything in including the kitchen sink, but it made little sense, or I should say, it wasn't as interesting.

It seemed to me that they stopped the film to do these boring character studies as to why our heroes weren't given enough love and hugs when they were kids. It was sappy and not funny, at all. The trailers gave away the best scenes in the movie and it didn't have the snappy banter of the first one.

I give it 3 Stars out of 5

Select to view spoiler:

I got a few chuckles out of it, but on in particular made me LOL. The scene where they show Starlord's daddy when he turns into David Hasselhoff

Finally got out to the theater to see it. I liked it. Not quite as good as the first one, but that's probably just because it's not new this time around.

That being said I think I laughed harder than I have in years. Baby Groot just gets me.

I liked the they actually developed the villain of the movie this time around. I think it's a big misstep of most of the marvel movies that they just sort of have villains who are running around doing bad things cause they're bad and that's the extent of them. At least explain their motivations and give them some backstory.

Anyway definitely worth a rewatch when it comes to home video.

Clearly, Groot had been walking around for some time. Why did he freeze when Drax looked at him, during the fight scene at the beginning ? Yes, it was a cute reference to when Groot was still in the pot, and hadn't become animated yet. So why do it now ? That made no sense, and wasn't funny.

Seemed more of a reach than anything.

I conjured it was just Baby Groot showing immaturity, in character.

Select to view spoiler:

It wasn't that he's walking it's that he's dancing. Drax isn't a fan of dancing. There's apparently a deleted scene from the first movie where adult Groot is dancing and Drax gives him a hard time about it. That's why he stops in the post credits scene of the first movie when Drax looks at him. Probably just a throw back to that.

So... now that Peter ... Starlord has held on to an Infinity Stone, and lived, and visited his old pops and received some of ...well, what ever his dad was, I have some questions.

Is Starlord a 'Super'hero now ?

And if so, what powers does he possess ?

And what about the rest of the Guardians ? Did holding onto the stone give them any enhancements ? Longer life ? Because, after watching Vol 2, I really can't tell they came out all that much different. Other than not being dead, of course.

This was a while ago, but IIRC there was some Catch-22 where once Dad's power expired, then all other derived powers would also dissolve - so Starlord ending Dad also ended his own power derived from Dad.
Does that sound like I recalled correctly?

Yes, that's how they described it. Starlord didn't get powers from holding the infinity stone. He was able to hold the infinity stone because he had powers already. His powers were from his dad who's a celestial I believe. So, Starlord is half celestial. His Dad had been searching for his offspring that he had running all around the galaxy because he was hoping to find one who inherited his powers. When Starlord became famous for holding the infinity stone that clued his Dad into the fact that Starlord inherited some of his Dad's powers. However, they explain that those powers are only basically tapping into his Dad's power. If his Dad is destroyed there's no more power for Starlord to tap into. That's the theory at least. I think there may be wiggle room because Starlord's Dad is the one telling us that and he seemed to have a skewed point of view.

So now he could no longer hold an Infinity Stone, is that right? And di the other Guardians hold the Infinity Stone? And could they now?

The others absorbed the power from the Infinity stone, or I guess more accurately, diluted the power so that Peter - Starlord COULD hold on to it.

But I was thinking, much like that which doesn't kill you , makes you stronger sort of thing... like Bruce Banner and the gammer-rays ? ( And as a side note, didn't Bruce only survive the gamma burst because HIS dad experimented on him as a new born / toddler ? I'm fuzzy on that, but from the line even in The Avengers " that much gamma radiation 'should have ' killed you ". Of course, we know it didn't, but - why ? )

So here's the thing. Starlord is a knock off the old block. But just because dear old dad snuffed it ( or we're assuming he did ) , his genetic material is still in Starlord, right ? Now, what really bugged me is how all those little seeds from Daddy Ego had their own genetic material, needing the different planets to get energy from or what ever... why would THEY die off because Ego died ? Couldn't they carry on by themselves ?

And what the frak was allowing them to grow and engulf all those planets, in real time, despite being light years away ? I can understand how they all might have synced up and started to grow in unison, but how is it remotely possible that they all snuffed it once ?
