“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2” Misfires but Stays Funny and Fun

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2” Misfires but Stays Funny and Fun

May 6, 2017 By Noah Richman and Daren Gulsvig Leave a Comment

Noah and Daren enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, but not as much as they enjoyed the original. Even so, they still recommend the movie.

Daren liked it more than Noah did, especially how many of the musical moments connected him with his childhood, but they both thought it fell a little short because some of the funny moments were trying too hard to be funny.

Warning: Spoilers will be discussed here!

Rating: Noah – 3.5 stars, Daren – 4 stars


Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand.

Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan, Sean Gunn, Tommy Flanagan, Laura Haddock, with Sylvester Stallone, and Kurt Russell
Directed by: James Gunn
Written by: James Gunn
