The Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2

The Guardians of the Galaxy are still the funniest of the Marvel heroes, but this one was a step backwards for the franchise. Dramatically, it was great. I loved the theme of family that tied the plot together. The Guardians are more of a family by common bond than by blood. They are a messed up family.... The fact that the true blood bonds that should bind the different members of the crew are toxic and do not bind provides a poignant counterpoint to the strength of their bond. What is lacking is the humor. The movie comes close to taking itself seriously without stepping over the line. It comes awfully close though. I was glad to see Thor taking up the silly in Ragnorock.
