I'm sure James Gunn will never say as much, but I have a feeling "Fox on the Run" was intended to be used in one of the "The Chain" sequences but they decided to swap it up in the editing process. It worked so well with some of the action sequences in the trailer...

I was thinking that this movie felt more "Star War-sy" than TFA did.

They could have hit it home a bit more, but the end was very-very fast... He was dealing with a lot, he killed his father after learning his father killed his mother because "He loved her 2 much" - and then his adopted father sacrifices himself for him... also they poorly explained (didnt) why the ship had to take off and could not have waited to get them both, its not like it struggled to escape the void of a collapsing planet or somesuch nonsense - they just kinda floated there..
The best emotional scene for me was Draxx looking out at the lake, from the first movie and then this one we are used to Draxx and his way of doing things and we kinda get him, stoic and all that- but then Mantis just instantly starts balling and trying to compose herself and failing while Draxx just smiles.. to me that was better paced and put together.

The glow above his pod is exactly the same color as the soul gem.
Where is the soul gem anyway right now? Are you assuming Heimdall?

I figure either Heimdall or Hela. Thor: Ragnarok is the last 'cosmic-level' MCU entry** before the start of Infinity War so if it is going to show up it would have to be there.
** Black Panther is slated to release before Infinity War, but I don't see the Soul Gem chillaxing in Wakanda.

One of the most interesting comic series I ever read was the precursor to Infinity Gauntlet. I hope they do something like that in the movies. Thanos was the protagonist of the story, on his quest to assemble the gauntlet.

The timing is off, unfortunately. It would seem as GoTG2 introduced Adam Warlock as their next movie villain. But GoTG3 isn't planned before Infinity Gauntlet.
Yondu's development really resonated with me, but I felt like Ego's story arc was way too epic to shorehorn into this movie.

just because you kidnap a 10 yr old, that does not make you his dad. That is gross.
Tell that to Mother Gothel as well.
Also, should we be calling the FBI?

As someone who is pretty critical of movies in general I was worried when I read some of the criticisms about this film and went into the theater with a lowered expectation because of it. I'm not sure if that worked to the movies advantage or not, but I have to say that I enjoyed myself quite a bit. Forced humor is one of those pet peeves of mine that I just can't stand much of until I just write the movie off completely. There was a lot of cheesy humor, yes, but it's nothing above and beyond what you've already seen in the first, and should have come to expect in a sequel. I think there was only one time I rolled my eyes at a scene, the rest of the time I found the humor to be pretty funny (alcohol might have helped a bit). Could the movie been a little less cheesy at times? Sure. Maybe a little less baby groot? Probably. Some catchier music? Maybe. All in all though the movie hit a lot of the right chords. It packed a lot of emotions in a 2 hour film. If you liked the first movie, you'll enjoy this one.

Drax is #1 guardian.
They went too ham with baby groot, could have used a little less of him. I imagine the marketing people saw piles and piles of cash with him.
Only thing I really didnt like was Yandu's death. Why exactly did the ship not just come pick them up?

I got the impression it was a pretty big ship, so maybe their rationale was it wasn't an atmospheric ship.
But then rogue one had a star destroyer maybe a mile from the surface on that stupid Jedi temple planet, so whatever.
Movie was pretty solid. Didn't equal the first, but still quite enjoyable.
