I like James Gunn, I really do and I do hope that Vol. 2 will live up to the hype in action sequences because frankly, of the three MCU films, as much as I like the Guardians of the Galaxy, this film is the one I was least hyped for. And I don't mean that just because of that shot, it's actually something I've thought of ever since the trailers came out.

Marvel's track record of films guarantees that this will be at least an enjoyable flick which will force me to come to YouTube and listen to more 1970s/80s music, but I mean... come on. I know I'm overreacting a bit and this rant is all over just one shot, but don't mistake this as a hate speech, because I like GoTG and Marvel and I just want to see a film that enjoys me, and I have no doubt that Vol. 2 will do just so. But if this is the battle sequences that we are seeing, then it will feel very underwhelming compared to the other great battle sequences we have seen in the past.

But I have faith in James Gunn. I do hope that this issue will be taken care of in the end, and it will look fantastic in the theatre and a true memory to savour. I understand where you're coming from with that. The clip gave me some concern too.

Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of the first Guardians of the Galaxy. I like it quite a bit, but it's somewhere in the middle for my rankings of the MCU films. Maybe it's because I never watched it in a cinema/theatre with an audience to enjoy it with, as watching the GotGV2 trailers showing before other films in cinemas with an audience is a very enjoyable experience, as the audience connects with it in a very fun way. But because of this, I am not incredibly excited for this film. It looks like a lot of fun, and I am down for any MCU film, and I'm definitely excited, but not as much as the other two this year.

I'm sure at the very least that this film will be a strong, solid, enjoyable installment in the MCU. It got a 100 at test screenings, which are not much to go by, but still, that gives good hope. I get the vibe that the team behind it are happy. Whether it stands up to the general public's ridiculously high expectations following the amount of love for the first... well, that's going to be tough. It might be a bit of an Age of Ultron situation - fans love the first one so much that the expectations are too high and they are inevitably disappointed by the good, but not as good sequel (I actually prefer AoU but hey).

But who knows, it could be amazing and blow us all away. All remains to be seen.
