While watching this movie I could feel the energy the writers, director (James Gunn) and actors put into the production to make sure that we find this movie entertaining and thrilling.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a great sequel to the first Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).

The movie packs as much fun, adventure and visual mastery to make sure when watching this movie, you are moved to look forward to owning a copy when it comes out.

This is the fifteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is based on Marvel superhero team, Guardians of the Galaxy. The movie features the characters Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper), and Baby Groot (Vin Diesel).

If you are a Marvel fan you will notice because it screams right at you that the writers decided to change the origin of Quill/Star-Lord.

In the comic, Quill is the son of J'son, who met Quill's mother when his ship crash landed on Earth.

J'son is the King of the Spartax and you can see this story if you get to watch the animation based on the Guardians of the Galaxy on Disney XD.

Here in the movie the living planet Ego is said to be Quill's father. Ego is an immortal Celestial consciousness that learned to manipulate the things around him to form a planet over his consciousness.

He went further to create a humanoid of himself which he then uses to travel the universe in search of his purpose.

His travels led him to earth where he met and fell in love with Quill's mother. The birth of Quill happened when he was exploring the cosmos and he hired Yondu to go bring Quill to him when he knew of his birth.

Yondu failed to deliver Quill and instead raised him for himself, using him to steal and commit crimes.

Now Ego, finds Quill and shares with him his origin and showed him his abilities, which includes his ability to bend matter on Ego’s planet base.

Things were not going well for the Guardians with the Sovereign led by Ayesha. As Rocket stole some batteries from them, which almost led to their annihilation before Ego came and saved them.

Now Ego and Quill continue to bond, and Ayesha hires Yondu and his crew to get back the batteries and deliver the Guardians to her.

Back with Ego, Gamora is suspicious of Ego and Drax new friend, Mantis who is Ego’s help is also trying to warn them about Ego’s plans for the galaxy.

Nothing should be a hindrance to you seeing this movie, the graphics were off the chains and the CGI/live-action mix is solid. Get ready for some nice Cameos from Sylvester Stallone, Stan Lee, David Hasselhoff and Ving Rhames
