Misfits on fun space ride
(voiced by Bradley Cooper), is still a trigger-happy jerk, while Drax, the tactless muscle man (Dave Bautista), gets all the best lines – and an amusing new buddy named Mantis (Pom Klementieff).
The Guardians get in trouble after Rocket steals some fancy batteries they’re meant to be guarding on a planet ruled by a golden queen (Elizabeth Debicki). The angry golden gang comes after the Guardians, a mighty battle ensues, and lo and behold, Peter bumps into his long-lost daddy Ego (Kurt Russell).
The reunion doesn’t quite go as planned, but with family being a clear theme of Vol. 2, there are Vol. 3.
But so what if we are? Fun is the name of the game here, and Vol. 2 has it in spades. So just sit back, relax and enjoy this space ride for what it is – and don’t forget to stay for the credits. – Christina Kuntz
