Even if it is accidentally spoiled, "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" can still make people sit safely for more than two hours. The quality control level of Marvel's superhero movies is precisely Marvel's surpassing other film companies and dominating the world. After this film, it should be possible to make the next judgment-Marvel has no bad films.
The success of Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014 may be said to be an accident, but the success of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 this year is inevitable. In addition to the powerful trading abilities of Disney and Marvel, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" itself has been made into a big IP, and the protagonist "Star Lord" Chris Pratt has been upgraded to a Hollywood star, such as a super cute tree man baby. Things can be more adorable, and with the smiles and tears gathered, the logically plausible story, and the appropriate screening schedule, the movie is sure to sell well at the box office.
However, it has always been difficult to make a sequel to a movie full of new ideas. In 2014, "Guardians of the Galaxy" has an outstanding comedy style, which can be called an unconventional work in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe". Compared with the first one, "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" maintains the comedy characteristics, can make people laugh, and then strengthens the new theme of "family", which can make people cry. Of course, the theme of "family" makes people feel that it has been played with Van Diesel's "Fast and Furious" from time to time, and the old stalk of "I am your father" in the film is also easy to think of in "Star Wars." It’s a classic narrative mode, no wonder there will be fans making posters that pay tribute to "Star Wars".
However, the emergence of the new theme failed to prevent "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" from the fatigue that is common in the sequel movies, making it more blue than blue. The laughs in the film are more deliberate and blunt, those who are cute, silly, and bickering, and more repetitive. A lot of funny points are all about the lower body. Not only the taste is lower than the first one, but it is not unexpected. These are all "harmonious" by our serious subtitle translators.
The most obvious place of fatigue is the turning point and climax of the main story line. Perhaps it is limited by the length of the movie, which is slightly hasty. When Xingjue and his son reunited, they didn't produce a sense of happiness, because this line still has to melt into Kamora and the sisters of Xingyun to resolve their grievances, and the adoptive father of "Xingjue" courageously cleans up the dark history and other story lines. There is not enough space.
In the slightly rushed story, the movie’s biggest selling point "The Second Series of Golden Songs" is played from time to time. However, this time director James Gunn’s use of old songs was not as superb as in the first part, and was full of surprises. Full. James Gunn finally realized his dream this time. He deleted the song of the Electric Light Orchestra (Electric Light Orchestra) that he loved so much and put it beyond the general theme song. Not only did he play it many times, but also let him Xingjue and his father were full of praise, even chanting a lot of songs, but the song "Mr. Blue Sky" failed to play its due role. "The Second Series of Golden Songs" lacks the amazing track of "Come And Get Your Love" in the "First Series".
In addition, some of the jokes are nostalgic allusions, such as "Knight Rider" David Hasselhoff (David Hasselhoff), soul music master Sam Cooke (Sam Cooke), "Mary Popping in the Wind" "Mary Poppins" (Mary Poppins), etc., due to different cultural backgrounds, many domestic audiences may not be able to experience it. For example, when Xingjue said that Yongdu said that his falling posture is like Mary Poppins, although some people in the audience are laughing, the contrast between Yongdu and Mary Poppins may not be cute.
