Saving the Galaxy Twice


Tuesday was a day I was looking forward to since May 8th. That day, my brother and I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 in theaters. As soon as I walked out of the theater, I knew that I would be buying it and adding it to my very big movie collection. Tuesday was the day that the movie came out on DVD. That morning, I got up early, got ready for work then headed to Target and picked up my copy of the movie.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2


The other members of my family did not get the chance to see it in theaters so Friday was the day we decided to watch it together. After everyone got back from the activities of the evening, everyone got a brownie, went down to the basement, turned off the lights, and watched the movie together.

You want to know my feelings about this movie?  This is how I felt during the movie.
 

I love the characters in this movie. Usually I would only really like select characters but I like all of them. Even though I like them all , I still have an all time favorite character, Baby Groot. He is so cute, funny, and it just plain great. 

This film series sure knows how to make good movie. Usually sequels are not as good as the first but this one is just as good or better then the first one.  It was so hilarious. All throughout the film, there was always a funny moment. If laughter is the best medicine, you will feel better after watching this movie. 

Another thing that made this movie great is the story and heartfelt moments. The story was told well. One thing I love in a movie is surprises and this movie had its twists and turns. Add in the moments that you feel deeply in your heart and you get an amazing movie. 

This movie is definitely added to my favorite movie list. I could watch this many times and never get tired of it. After I watched it, I wanted to watch it again. Loved, loved, loved, the movie. In the words of a Guardians of the Galaxy "I AM GROOT."

Fast and Furious Phase

A few weeks ago, my brother, sister, and I watched The Fate of the Furious. I have never seen a Fast and Furious movie until now. After watching the movie, it made me want to watch the other seven. So I went to my local Walmart and purchased all seven movies for thirty-five dollars. This was a gamble because again, I have not seen them and we don't have my favorite store Hastings anymore so I could not rent them. I could have rented them from Googleplay but it was three dollars each. By buying them, I spend less then five dollars a movie and got to keep them.

Something about myself is that I go through movie phases. I have gone through a phase where all I wanted to watch was Marvel movies. There was a time that all I wanted to watch was Mission Impossible. During the Christmas season, all I wanted to watch was Star Trek and I watched Star Trek Beyond multiple times and watched a couple seasons of the old Star Trek tv show. After watching the eighth Fast and Furious movie, all I wanted to watch was Dom and Brian O'Conner. Now we enter the phase of The Fast and the Furious. 

The Fast and the Furious


On Wednesday night, my family and I started The Fast and the Furious. Everyone except for my younger sister and I ended up leaving because it was not their type of movie. The first half of the movie I did not like.There was some partying stuff that the Clearplay did not take out that I did not like. I will probably fast forward those parts the next time I watch it. When we got towards the end, it got better. There was more to the story and there was more action. The first half  of the movie had drag racing which was not bad but the ending had car chases which is better then racing. I love action movies and if there is any exciting action in it, there is a good chance that I will watch and like it. 

After watching the first movie, I would say that it was more entertaining then a good movie. The ending action scenes were exciting and you want to find out what happens and I kinda liked some of the characters. In my option, The Fate of the Furious was better. I have heard that the first three were not very good but they get better afterwards  so I am looking forward to what the next ones have to offer.
