The family of misfits are back and it is growing: the Guardians of the Galaxy has they are on the planets known as The Sovereign: M49 5I0L339P21+H9LNI31 getting ready to deal with this monster as they hired to do so by The Sovereign; their High Priestess Ayesha [Elizabeth Debicki] but someone had to go and screw things up didn't they Rocket [voiced by Bradley Cooper] between them and The Sovereign. But here comes Peter Quill/Star-Lord's father Ego the Living Planet [Kurt Russell, he also provides the voice/David Hasselhoff] with his servant Mantis [Pom Klemenieff] to save the day. The pacing of this 137 minute film is good as like its predecessor it has lots to offer so it just has to keep things going and rotating.

Like we have the Guardians of the Galaxy trying to on one hand deal with this monster and on the other hand look after Baby Groot/Teenager Groot [voiced by Vin Diesel] as he dances around to the music track on some research “Mr. Blue Sky” by  Electric Light Orchestra [from a stereo which Rocket has brought to the dance but Groot fixes it up] whilst this absolute chaos is happening behind him or around him in some capacity without a care in the world until he takes a ride on this lizard type of creature [he doesn't like them much, because previously he thinks they were looking at him funny] so he tries to take this one down, but he doesn't but what he does experience is a extremely bumpy ride. But after this he just gets up and continues to dance until Drax the Destroyer [Dave Batista] accidentally takes a landing on the stereo consequently destroying it which Groot is far from impressed with as he attacks Drax.

The art in this sequence of events is very immersive as for some time Groot is in the foreground and this sequence is happening in the background but consistently the background and foreground warn Groot or tries to warn him but he just waves to say hi Gamora [Zoe Saldaña] or Rocket crosses over into the foreground to get Groot to spit something out and then go back into the background or we have this ride on this lizard type of creature which has excellent camera shots and all that to make it also immersive.

Later on; the imagination and high levels of creativity to have The Sovereign vs. the Guardians of the Galaxy in this outer space action sequence which looks good, but the imagination and creativity comes from how The Sovereign to outer space combat and on a quick side note but not a small thing, this shows how advanced these race is, by using these fighter crafts which have no physical pilot in them, because they are back physically safe and sound on these bikes that looks like one of those arcade motorbikes [where the individual in question gets to sit on motorbike,] but these have been cleverly modified and artistically painted gold, don't worry you still get a suitable video game sound effect and the reason why I said this shows how advanced this race is. It is because they have quite clearly learnt that we can rebuild our ships, but our biggest assets are our pilots; yes these action sequences happen to be my favourite as well.

I also really did enjoy these highly sophisticated storyboards as it relates to Ego the Living Planet and without giving too much away what he is trying; this was neat and tidy and a smart way to present his character developments.

Now there is one thing I didn't like about this sequel and it is now and again on Planet Ego there is way, way, way too much red and orange in these scenes, I don't have to point them out to you to specifically, because they are really bright and you will know them when you see them, it just makes the scene or sequence they are a part of look really tacky and you can't really enjoy anything about these scenes are sequences because of that.

Character developments and performances; the character developments and performances have been really progressed as these returning characters have been matured in some fashion as in Drax has learned the concept of comedy as he finds out that as do we that Peter Quill/Star-Lord has romantic feelings for Gamora and he finds this hilarious and also like its predecessor it has a similar comedy level which is very funny from beginning to end for one more example of the comedy briefly Rocket asks Peter Quill/Star-Lord for a piece of tape so that Groot doesn't get something wrong, Peter Quill/Star-Lord asks around [ in the meantime we have Rocket and Groot sitting on screen hearing Peter Quill/Star-Lord asking around in this really chaotic sequence of events.] The newcomers slot in perfectly which is something you hope for, so once again like its predecessor this is a cast performance.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is lots of fun; yes I had to take a smidgen of for the red and orange thing. But as mine marking would suggest I really did find this very much enjoyable. I should give you a friendly heads up there are a lot of extra scenes throughout the ending credits somewhere either at the beginning or the end in total there is 5 including right at the end of the first lot of ending credits we have a face of David Hasselhoff [in gold] saying finishing off song by saying/singing "We are Groot" [on some more research this song track is entitled" Guardians into Inferno" by The Sneepers featuring David Hasselhoff, which has a music video to it which I would recommend you go and watch it.] Yes no surprise here but this film has awards accredited to it in some fashion. 15 Winners; Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 2018 Best Special Effects Christopher Townsend Guy Williams Jonathan Fawkner Daniel Sudick. 59 Nominees including Academy Awards, USA 2018 Oscar Best Achievement in Visual Effects Christopher Townsend Guy Williams Jonathan Fawkner Daniel Sudick.
