Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) by Minyoung P — 07 Dec 2017

'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2' Ohana Means Family... and Friends.

The Guardians come back again and they make a thrilling entrance with a story now explaining who Quill (Star Lord) truly is and most importantly, find out who his father is. The Guardian team includes; Quill (Star Lord), Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and lastly, we can't forget about baby Groot who comes back to space to find answers as they fight to protect the ones in need and protect each other.. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, a continual story of the first Guardians of the Galaxy, revolved the theme of what is most important to them, which is family. This family friendly movie is sure to make you cry of sadness, happiness, and make you laugh till your stomach hurt. Now available to watch on Netflix, Guardians of the Galaxy yet once again, did not disappoint. For many reasons from this movie, I believe that the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is the best movie to reminisce the path in life where we found out our true self and how friends and family are the most important people in our life.

It all starts in space somewhere far far away. When Quill sets out to live with his real father who finds the truth where the blood father only had intentions to use Quill's energy power to live infinitely with full power and take over other planets. Feelings of betrayal began to fill Quill, but his friends stick by him and save him from his evil father. If it were not for his friends (the Guardians) and his step-father, Yondu, (who adopted him) that he would live again with high hopes and full of love. When Quill realizes that his true family has been with him every step of the day, Yondu sacrifices his life as he saves Quill. What can get more sentimental than that? Father willing to die at his own will to save his son... Something Star Wars lacked in portraying. Ouch. Yet, we can never forget the words of Yondu as he used his arrow to fly just minutes before he died, "I'm Mary Poppins y'all!" which made it a difficult moment for the viewers to decide if one should cry of loss or giggle of his reference to Mary Poppins. The author resolves to family and how each of the characters overcome them by using humor and life stories that connect to the viewers. Continuing with the family theme, Gamora also experiences another encounter with her sister Nebula in Vol 2. The sisters, Gamora and Nebula, who could not stand to look at each other without feelings to kill one another, finishes well as they talked it out, hugged it out, and forgive one another. The story line between the two connects to the viewers for anyone who has had experience with siblings.. Along with the emotional roller coasters viewers get to watch and feel, we can not forget about baby Groot; a fan favorite for all. In a scene where it get unbearably intense, baby Groot is always there to soften the hearts of the people with sighs of "Awe".. Not to mention who saves the day with his bravery and love for his friends. The movie mainly created for grown up viewers who have lost their place remembers how it is like to have fought with a sibling, possibly lost a father, and found out one true self but though family and friends, they were able to feel comfort.

Overall, this movie was portrayed very well with the theme of family. This theme made it best possible for adult to reminisce what was important to them and helped them in the past. The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 was a reminder for people who are looking back from the past and coming to pass the relationship now. Good expectations has met with this movie as I was pleased to experience the heart-warming scene that showed that friends are also family. This is why I believe that the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is the best movie to remember that friends and family are the most important people in our life and to announce the memories of we had growing up.
