Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) by Axet — 10 May 2017

First one was fresh, irreverently funny and inventive (7 or 8 rating here). This is an overlong, formulaic, cliché laden, self indulgent, boring slog! Marvel doesn't make good movies anymore. It makes franchise commercials. When are the stupid idiots at the studios in Hollywood going to stop putting out way too long, repetitive, homogenous junk?! No movie like this should ever under any circumstances be over two hours, but that's the idiotic trend none of the sheep are taking a good look at.

Both the voices of Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper are unrecognizable as they are pitched, not to mention Groot only says one line. Almost anyone could do these voices yet they are billed as stars, as is the practice with all animated flicks. Stupidly. The marketing morons believe the marquee value draws business, but not a single extra ticket is sold because of any star voices and actually all it does is take the audience out of the story knowing who's behind the cartoons.
