The only reason I watched this was down to be it being something of event cinema. I do vaguely remember seeing the original GOTG and it wasn't until after seeing Volume 2 that I revisited my review to find that I didn't like the original movie and not liking that one I didn't like this one either

"Hey Theo , do you want to elaborate ? "

Hmmm okay then . I'll say this comment continues more thought than James Gunn has put in to the plotting of his screenplay. There's little in the way of plot. Some nice characters get kidnapped by bad characters but end up escaping from bad characters. Bad character tries to kill good character but fails. Different species of nice characters talk then along comes bad characters to spoil these quiet moments. Oh and there's few quite moments in the overlong runtime because this is a noisy, plot less mess of a blockbuster

I also have a bit of a problem with wondering who it's marketed for. It has Russell and Stallone who are legends from the 1980s along with references to KNIGHT RIDER and David Hassellhoff which will mean absolutely nothing to younger audiences and the nature of the film means more discerning mature audiences like myself will be bored by the constant noise and bluster. It also contains a bit too much profanity to work as family friendly fare. I guess this indicates it's a movie that has something for everyone and tries to appeal to everybody on some level . I'm afraid it didn't appeal to me
