I personally liked this film much better than 7,and one of the biggest reasons for that is the wise decision of making us wait for the answer to the mystery : why did Dom go rogue? While I have no interest in the character relationships in this series anymore,the whole Dom thing did surprise me. Charlize Theron was quite good,but didn't really add anything interesting for the franchise. The main cast,particularly Dom & Team,put minimal effort. The stunts were a bit laughable but technically sound. The story,quite formulaic,other than the final act. Scot Eastwood was quite nice as Little Nobody.

As for the flaws,the humour was really bad,particularly during the airplane scene and the final act in the snow. I hope Roman Pearce just dies or something,he's got no reason the be around anymore.

With the unhinged action and good acting from the supporting cast (Kurt Russell,Jason Statham,Charlize Theron) the film was a good time at the theatre. Popcorn is a must.

While the film may not be as fresh as it's predecessor and the soundtrack may not match up to the first one,this film's got great character development,amazing cinematography and visuals,with an ending which is easily the deepest moment in the MCU. Michael Rooker was the best actor in this film in my opinion,along with the deadpan Dave Bautista. But this time,Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana seemed to be putting in minimal effort. Kurt Russell was really really good as Ego,his character was really interesting. The cinematography and visuals are great as ever,particularly in Ego's planet. The humour is quite funny (and excessive,unsurprisingly) but that aside,James Gunn wrote and directed the film with great flair. Action scenes were well done,particularly the final act. Rocket was voiced very well by Bradley Cooper,and Baby Groot definitely elicited the aww from the audience.

I wish they left out the golden people from the film though,they don't really contribute to the film. Sylvester Stallone was on screen for too little time to be interesting or even memorable.

Overall,this continues the MCU's hot streak,they're doing quite well. I really expect a great sequel.
