Quinn.

From surprise smash hit to mainstay of the franchise, Guardians Of The Galaxy has done enough to be equal to many of the tales brought to life from the graphic novels of Marvel to the big screen, and perhaps in timely honour, it is only right that the final scenes, for now at least, have seen the mixed bag of characters endear themselves into the public perception.

Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Dolph Lundgren, Florian Munteanu, Phylicia Rashad, Russell Hornsby, Wood Harris, Milo Ventimiglia, Andre Ward, Brigitte Nielsen.

Stories are rarely neat, sequels are never planned that far in advance and yet somehow the Rocky/Creed franchise manages to stitch together a series of films that by rights have no business being thought of in the same bed, let alone sharing a ring together.

All the fun of the original but with added family angst, if you are going to describe Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume Two in any way that resembles a nutshell then you can only go by that, a great family film that has kept Marvel Studios firmly in the top racoon place when it comes to portraying superheroes on film and that D.C. has a long way to go.

Hollywood and sport doesn’t exactly mix, football, golf, rugby, ice hockey, all end up being seen as a pale imitation of what can happen on the field of play and the reason it mostly comes down to is the ability to replicate the dramatic vision of the spectacle is almost non-existent. The film revels too much in the prowess of the team event to be carried off in spectacular fashion, it looks clumsy and forced, the poetry of the game stunted and fluffed out, it is overdone and over produced.
