Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 @ Superhero Movie 银河守护队2

It's a Marvel film so of course I had to watch it on the big screen. This movie got me so hyped that I watched it the day after my Japan trip and without Chin Yee. We decided to watch it separately and write the review.

这部电影的第一集得到了空前绝后的成功,使得这一集还未上映就已经被所有人关注。
作为第二集,有很多电影都做得并不是很成功,往往会使人有点失望。
我对于这部电影也有很多的期待,更是在上映的第二天就去看了。

The movie starts with the Guardians trying to kill a monster. We get to see them work as a team while Baby Groot dances around the battlefield adorably. The battle might be brief but it served as a nice opening scene for the audience to get them reacquainted with the characters or an introduction to new audiences. Like the previous film. the movie used a lot of old tunes, which gave it an 80's vibe. The movie was action-packed from the beginning so don't worry about being bored.

As the movie progressed, we get to see a different side of the characters like how Rocket tries to push people away, Gamora refused to acknowledge her feelings and Nebula who is not pure maniac as the previous movie portrayed her, but a woman who just wanted a sister. We also learned that Drax has a family and has a weird perception of beauty by calling Mantis ugly.

Besides that, I was also surprised by some parts of the movie. Before watching this movie, I have watched the trailer and I knew going to the movie that Peter will meet his father. However, I was expecting the meeting thing to happen a bit later in the movie. Unexpectedly...at least for me, Peter met his dad quite early on in the film. Peter's dad seemed to be a good guy until it revealed him to be a total douche bag. He claimed to had loved Peter's mum but I think that's just him talking out of his ass. I mean for a celestial being, he is really stupid. He should know Peter loved his mum so it was a big no-no to tell him that you put a tumor in her brain, I mean how stupid are you?

The movie turned a bit dark when we learned that Peter's dad is using his kids and managed to kill a lot of them. This is pretty dark considering it is a Disney movie but the movie didn't linger on the fact too much so the movie didn't turn completely dark. However, I have to admit that I cried when Yondu died. Yondu was actually a good guy all along (this I kinda predicted after the first movie), he raised Peter and saw him as a son. Peter finally sees that Yondu was a father to him than the psychopath that is trying to use him as a battery. This just goes to show that just because you are biologically related to someone does not mean that they are your family. Family is the people who care and love you no matter what. Yondu has always sided Peter to the point that his crew rebelled against him because of his love for Peter even if he tried to cover it up with excuses that Peter is useful. Yondu knew he did a lot of bad thing and he regretted it, but he tried to make things right by doing something right.

电影里的人物性格还是很分明,也都看得到他们还是一直吵吵闹闹,不按牌理出牌,小格鲁特也还是那么可爱。上一集的搞笑元素还是有延线到这一集,相信观众也看得很欢喜。
电影里的特效音乐也都不用多说,依然给我们很大的视觉听觉享受。歌曲都选择地非常好,相信会掀起一阵怀旧歌曲的热潮。
电影的片头也用了非常新鲜的手法来拍摄,歌曲搭配小格鲁特的天真舞蹈让我非常喜欢。
对于以上的一切,我的确无从挑剔。

不过,在剧情方面,我就有很多的想法了。
我相信很多人都对主角的真实身份/血统感到好奇,在这一集里,导演给了我们一个很好的交代。主角亲生父亲的出场让我们知道原来他是一位半人半神的特异存在。但是,我还是认为这个剧情线交代地有点仓促。

我认为这是一个对主角来说是很沉重且突然的消息,但他的心情却没有很正式地被看重,我看不到他心境上的改变。
他的亲生父亲就很突然间的出现,然后带他们前往他自己的星球,再随便说说些故事,然后就叫主角如何掌控能力。而主角很快的就接受了这样的父亲、这样的特异能力、还有这样的自己。
他们之间发生的事情都让我觉得是预料之内的,并没有很多的铺陈。这让我觉得剧情很匆促的带过,而且父亲的死法也很随便。那不是他自己的脑袋吗?怎么有异物挂在自己的脑袋上也不会察觉啊?
这一条主线的的确确让我不是很喜欢。

当然的,这部电影也有很多副线都值得一看,就如主角养父和他之间的感情。
不得不承认,看到那一段,我的确哭了。虽然他是恶人,但也抱有善心。就算不是自己的孩子,但也视如己出,更好好的教育他如何保护自己,虽然是以粗暴的方式。

Personally, I think this ending is better than the previous movie's weird ending. Overall, this movie is fun to watch just like other Marvel movies. I do have to say I like Star Lord here than the previous film, which I find him annoying. All in all, it is a movie worth watching but that could be me being bias as I am a total Marvel movie fan girl. 

就如我之前说的,很多电影续集都会让人失望,这部就在我的失望名单当中。
不是不好看,只是剧情让我觉得很仓促。那是一条非常好的主线,是主角找到自己真正是谁的关键,但为什么就那么轻易的带过。
而且,我觉得还有很多事情没有被好好交代(或许会在往后的电影里)。

我不是漫威迷,所以有很多埋伏的点也不是很清楚,这都只是我个人看电影后的看法。
