I was shocked they avoided making the awkward humor attempt until the tail end of that trailer.

Batista smacking that kid in the head with the basketball was hilarious.

I thought the second one was really good but I'm still looking forward to "space superhero's" somewhere rather than "space pirates". It'd be great to see characters flying through space on-screen rather than flying a ship through space on screen.

Yeah, I'd say the second movie was actually better than the first. But boy, there's a Kevin Smith-like quality to these where it feels even a few movies in now, that we're mostly just treading water with the characters. There is no real interest from Gunn into elevating them into straight up superheroes.
I admit, I did do a spit-take on that moment.

We finally get to see Gamora speak in this trailer and how this past version of her feels about being with the team. I don't think she was talking in the last trailer.

I was surprised to see how far down this thread was...
Anyway, I've seen it, so I might as well address some questions people have: Spoiler:

She blubbered at the end of Vol. 2. Better bring a tissue box with me to the theater.

I guess either nobody really cares enough to talk about this movie or it hasn't been released in enough areas yet, but I might as well post my thoughts on how the MCU tends to handle adaptation or lore and characters, since this movie can be considered a culmination of questionable decisions.

So it kind of just sounds like more of the same, and the Star Lord-Gamora stuff goes nowhere? Is there at least a good amount of Stallone?

No, he effectively just briefs them on the mission plan when they are attempting to steal something that might save Rocket. I legitimately can't remember if he does anything after that.

Apparently he goes to "take a $#!(". There was a line where Gunn wanted Stallone to say that in the film, but apparently he refused to do it.

I saw the movie, it was a fun, "feel good" movie. Some of the jokes again didn't land (and the camera lingers too long as a character stares blankly like it's some sort of punchline), but the theater was silent.
James Gunn has this problem where he makes characters scream their lines everytime they get angry. Gamora, Drax, Peter, Mantis and Nebula all have lines in the movie screaming back and forth constantly at each other, as well as the main villain, and it got irritating after awhile. After the first few scenes of this I got tired of it but it continued through the whole movie sadly. Most of the movie is about Rocket's backstory which is fine. Gamora doesn't wind up back with Peter and stays a Ravenger. The group essentially splits up and goes their separate ways at the end besides Rocket and Groot. Also the movie was channeling 60's-70's sci-fi with all the little kids with gray hair in the movie locked up as experiments. Definitely a better movie than most of the last few Marvel movies. |
