Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Review

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2  was fun, I enjoyed it.It did the things Marvel does well very well, still did all the things that I don't like so much about Marvel, and clocks in at a solid B+ movie. Like most of the recent Marvel movies, it loses me in the third act.  Which is unusually frustrating in this movie because the reasons it loses me are things the movie goes out of it's way to avoid in the first two thirds of the movie.   I'll have a spoiler part of the review at the very end, but keep the rest free.

Random thoughts on Legion

Guess I'm going X-men heavy these two weeks, which is actually pretty good.  The X-men are huge, in comics at least, but they've never been my main thing.  Sure, I like them, I've read some, but keeping up with the X-men is damn near impossible.  There's at least 20 different titles, a convoluted history of alternate timelines, future selves returning, past selves living with their current selves for awhile, constantly changing allegiances, a whole bunch of space stuff, and everybody returning from the dead.  All of this, I think, is part of the make up of Legion. This brief history of how confusing the X-men are is necessary for understanding the show, anyway.  This is going to be a weird review.
