In 2014 Marvel brought to the movie screens a film that redefine the super heroes genre. Guardians of the Galaxy. James Gunn director of this film and with experience in screenwriting, as well other roles had the difficult task to make this movie a success. it pays off. I have to confess for me as a non comic fan, enjoyed the film and also caught my attention by making a film, that I consider musical. The soundtrack is a living organism and needs to coexist in the world of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Now in 2017 James Gunn, attemp to continue the story of Peter Quill ( Chris Pratt) Gamora (Zoe Saldana) Drax ( Dave Bautista) Baby Groot ( Vin Diesel) and Rocket ( Bradley Cooper) The story continues the story of the Guardians fulfilling their role as the mercenaries who will do what ever to save the galaxy, but of course with a price. During the course of this new adventures Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) leader of the Sovereign people have a plan to capture all the Guardians after a failed plan to protect some important device for Ayesha.

Ego (Kurt Russell) shows up as the father of Quill who is just in disguise to eliminate Guardians intrusion.

To me the whole idea of bring back this characters for the sake of making a sequel was nonsense. The story is not as articulated as the original and is filled with gratuitous jokes by Drax and Baby Groot, annoying me to the point of wanted to walk away from this movie. Kurt Russell and Elizabeth Debicki are such a talented actors with weak characters that could be good. I feel that this sequel was unnecessary, just like another Alien film or perhaps continue the story of Batman.
