Finally saw Guardians of the Galaxy 2 on my flight home. Definitely liked it but the ended kinda dragged a bit.
I felt the same way. It was another Marvel movie. Lots of pandering humor, basic setups, bland aw/tense moments, and overly predictable outcome. I still thought it was enjoyable, but they have fucking got to change up the formula for these movies eventually. Actually, you know what, they don't lol. It's working, it's making them tons of money, and the masses are eating this shit up. Regardless of whether or not I think most Marvel movies are shit, and if I know that even the good ones are generic and spoon fed to us, it's a working model and why would they change something that works?
On a side note, I am glad that more and more studios seem to be taking chances on story-driven comic book takes, and that public opinion of these has been pretty good thus far. Logan was a HUGE success, and easily one of the best comic book movies ever made. Hopefully that success will keep more of these types of films, with original and entertaining content, vs this cookie-cutter Marvel model that's had me yawning for over 5 years now.
