Saw it this last weekend, I enjoyed it a lot however the soundtrack on this one was nowhere near as good and didn't feel like as big a part of the movie.

It might not seem that way as you watch the film but buy it. And GOTG2 is much better in the sense that it's a much more "grounded" story and less about popcorn filler. Really, its a movie about a ****ed up family resolving ****ed up family issues...

Seen this today in IMAX 3D. It was killer. I Rated GoG 1 as a 10. GoG 2 is a solid 9.

Love watching these types of movies in IMAX, but hate 3D. Just a waste of money to me. Problem is that the only close IMAX to me seems to only have the big movies like this one in 3D.

I hadn't watched a 3D movie in several years and felt the same way. That said, I was pretty impressed with the quality. This is one I'd be happy to see again in 3D.

In another paean to the power of music [much in line with my conviction that the entire Star Wars universe owes a deep debt to John Williams], I submit a good chunk of the positive vibes about the movie, the popularity of Groot, and the anticipation of the sequel is explained in a 1 crucial minute
I still listen to their bandstand performance at least once a week for a pick-me-up. Usually does a better job than coffee.

I am so in the minority when it comes to Marvel films.
I purchased GOtG2 the week it was released digitally and finally got around to watching it last night. Meh. I stopped purchasing these films on DVD/Blu Ray after the disaster that was Iron Man 2 and The Avengers but gave in on this film. I’m just going to wait until these films are on Netflix/the Disney app because outside of Spider-Man Homecoming and the first GotG, I just don’t connect with these films. |

Everything?
I thought the dialog was clunky, the camera angles weird and that RDJ was soooooooooo much more charismatic than anyone he shared the screen with that it was distracting. It literally took me like 5 nights to get through the movie. Again, I know that I'm in the minority and I'm certainly not telling anyone else to how feel/react to these films. Outside of a few (and I forgot to add Ant-Man, which I really liked the first couple of times I saw it but began to wear on me over multiple viewings), I just can't connect with them. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up reading the comics or watching the animated series? |

It's crazy I get chill bumps from these movies. Especially the whole Infinity gems storyline. |
