Guardians of the Galaxy 2

Well that was disappointing.  I liked the first one, so naturally I wanted to give the second one a shot.  It was like watching the after school special version of the franchise.  The dialogue alternated between joke set-up/punchline type stuff (which was sometimes humorous), and heavy handed garbage dialogue about family.  Every conflict and every relationship was about family.  Fathers, brothers, sisters, partners.  Every conversation got all heavy and people said things about how they were feeling.  Only they didn't need to say how they were feeling because if you do a good job with acting, directing and cinematography, you never have to say how you're feeling, because the audience already knows how you're feeling, and how you feel about the other characters.  I don't need anyone to lay it out for me like I'm an idiot.  Oh, that guy might have been your father, but I'm your dad. No shit?  I never would have gotten that from the thousand visual cues you gave me.  You're my big sister and I'm only combative because I wanted your approval?  Jeez, now that you say it using pretty much those exact words, it all totally makes sense!  In fact, it makes so much sense because that's all you've been telling me visually about their relationship for the whole movie!  ARRRRRRGH!
