I liked it better than the first, and better than the Avengers movies. I think Guardians is basically Avengers where the teammates have more meaningful (if cheesy) relationships.

random thoughts:
- a lot of very cool moments, visually. groot intro scene, people floating in space, the unrelenting spaceship assault on gamora in the cave, yondu's arrow
- like i said above, the relationships between the characters really make this movie, even if there are some eye rolling cliches. the yondu/rocket thing was explained a little too plainly for the audience imo, but the others were done well. i particularly liked drax/mantis.
- lmao the hoff
- i still don't like chris pratt as an actor. he's just the same dude in parks and rec/jurassic world/guardians. which is fine, except the seams of his acting abilities start to show when he has to show actual emotion. (though I think the scene with his walkman was pretty good)
- ego was done really well for a character that had to be introduced and then killed in a single movie. but uh.... it seems like he should have been a way bigger threat than a single movie? he literally started destroying multiple worlds at the same time.
- so quill was like... the most powerful superhero for a quick minute,right? and now he's just a regular human after about 5 minutes of dbz powers?
- i don't really care about blue robo-chick, but i can't tell if it's because the character is boring or if it's because the actress can't act.
- hot damn yondu is badass. he's got the coolest weapon. I think he's the part of the film that elevates it beyond just another good MCU film.
- the scene where the one ravager starts shouting because the other ravager crews show up at the end actually got me a little emotional
- I did not understand a single word stalone said
- bradley cooper as Rocket is one of the best things about Guardians. drax is fantastic too.
- too much baby groot
- holy shit a whole bunch of Watchers
- was stan lee's line about being a fedex guy a reference to civil war? was he actually there as stan lee?
- oh look a zune

im really interested to see how the team interacts with the Avengers because they're legitimately unaware of the Avengers' existence and have been exposed to threats way bigger than Earth.

but first, thor 3 and black panther left on my backlog.
