This shouldn't even be compared to the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films ... The first was genius the second very good ... This thing is just a total mess ... The writing is dreadful, there's no flow, there NO LAUGHS, even the colours and characters are muted ... If you had set out to kill a "franchise", this is certainly how you would go about it ... Its grim folks ... It seems all the characters are suffering from depression ... And its just a load of scenes ( none of them memorable ) shoved together to kill time ... NO JOY ... NO EXCITMENT ... NO MISCHIEF ... CLUELESS WRITERS ... BADLY DIRECTED ... NO REDEMING QUALITIES WHATSOEVER ... AN INSULT TO THE WORK OF ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE FIRST TWO FILMS ... FLUSH IT ... ITS POO.
