I am sure the majority of the sane population of this planet will ask what drugs I have been taking, however I have now watched this film twice - first time and last time.

The original had the perfect mix of comedy and fantasy with a story line that made sense and is one of my go-to films when I need a smile. This however was a huge disappointment. Without Rocket and Drax, it would have been two hours of my life wasted. Started really promising and then quickly descended into what was obviously a "we have to get a second film out quickly to cash in on the success of the first". I know that the Stallone and Rhames characters are major parts of Guardians lore, however only the real geeks will care about that and having those cameos just cheapened it all.

The humour was too concentrated, the story with Kurt Russell was confusing. Sorry Guardians fans but it just didn't do it. Without Drax and Rocket, I don't think I would have made it to the end.
