(SPOILERS because I had to talk about the ending to this one duh)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opens up with one of the best credit sequences ever. Baby Groot dances around while the Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, and Rocket are fighting this squid looking thing. Shortly after, Rocket stole some batteries from the Soverign race, who aren't too happy about it, and attack the Guardians' ship. They then crash land on a planet and meet this guy named Ego, who says he's the Star Lord's dad. It kind of reminded me of that one Marvel movie that I can't put my finger on where Hawkeye went back to his home and everyone was kind of just lounging there in their suits. Eventually, Ego disintigrated into tons of little Ego pieces and Yondu dragged the Star Lord into space. I didn't feel too attached to Ego when this happened, so I didn't care as much as I would've liked to. There's a lot more character development in this one compared to the last, which turned out to be... ...not too bad. I found the latter half of this movie to be a little boring, but other than that, I was hooked. Some of the highlights were, as mentioned before, the opening credits, the fight with the Soverign race, Ego's death, and post-credits. For some reason, I feel that Vol. 1 was more of my style. Maybe because I'm not the biggest fan of movie sequels, but whatever. Vol. 2 was still pretty dang good. I like how they went away from the typical Marvel mold of explosions and fights all of the time and tried something different in terms of learning about the Star Lord and Gamora's families. Not my favorite Marvel movie, but it wasn't bad by any means.
