Its supposed to be funny superhero team-up action movie -- that's what sequel feels like in general with slightly different plot I assume.

Reviews are pouring in. 91% so far.
Youtube reviewers are actually mixed about it which is interesting... wonder if reception will be mixed.

The trailer for the first one were fun and fresh, these all seem tryhard. I wouldn't be surprised if the movie is the same. Though Disney being comfortable with reviews being released this early means they are sure they have a crowdpleaser again.

Weird. It seems like every Marvel movie gets reviews that call it "filler" and "setup for future more interesting movies".

I don't think "every" Marvel movie gets that review.

You don't have to be sorry. It wasn't your comment BTW Logan didn't and from what I remember Ant-Man also didn't to name a few.

Why is Logan not Marvel? It is for all purposes and discussions we weren't discussing Disney/Marvel movies here.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (05/05/17) predictions
But its a Marvel movie which you mentioned. Regardless I can provide more examples Also that this is first sequel from a supposed trilogy so those kind of reviews are expected IMO.

The first one did 11.2m in previews. Think this one will be around 17-18m.

I think the X-Men franchise stands apart as distinct from the MCU in terms of how critics approach/receive them. Standard critical response to the MCU is what's been juxtaposed with other comic book properties like the DCU.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (05/05/17) predictions
Its still Marvel and clearly the first statement said Marvel and not MCU. I was never talking about MCU but clearly zwackerm did. I just made a statement about Marvel get it MARVEL (MCU is not Marvel alone).
As for X-Men I do realize they are different from MCU in terms of tone, studio and critical response.

It definitely needs to open big. I don't see legs being as good as the first.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (05/05/17) predictions
Legs were never going to be as good as the first, but it does need a BIG opening to have a shot at $400M+. General audiences should like it more than critics, but frontloading is a factor, although the hype doesn't feel HUGE right now IMO.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (05/05/17) predictions
Yeah I meant opening BIG and after watching it I am not so sure on $400m being a guarantee. The WoM should not be bad but its surely not going to be glowing as well.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (05/05/17) predictions
Its tracking at $130m-$140m so I think it can out-muscle the tracking numbers and open past $150m mark, specially with Fate being a non-event and failing fast.

Re: Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (05/05/17) predictions
AMC presales update(Courtesy Rallax@BOT) shows Guardians 2 at 2.7m while Civil War was at 3.55m at a similar point. I dont see Guardians opening more than 140m. This is a highly marketed sequel after all.
