![]() ![]() There are brief appearances by Sly Stallone (and Miley Cyrus’s voice), while Rooker gets a surprisingly emotional storyline – odd considering the first time you see him is in a space robot brothel. The new characters such as Pom Klementieff’s sweet Mantis and Kurt Russell’s charismatic Ego fit well enough. You could almost hear James Gunn (given his Troma background) cackling with glee. This includes what can only be described as a killing spree in the middle of a Disney film. The Guardians occupy their own strange corner in the MCU and it gets enjoyably weird in tone, with some unexpectedly dark moments too. The characters retain a sense of humour, even when they’re being awful to each other. We’d be surprised if you couldn’t guess Ego’s intentions early on, and waiting for the penny to drop in the film just adds to the sense of wheels spinning.ĭespite that, Vol.2 is a lot of fun. The pacing is not helped by the transparency of the plot.
