This film however is exactly what I want and then some. I love the fact that it's not afraid to be disgusting but also not afraid to be ridiculously stupid in some bits but that's what I love about it. James Gunn gets it and plus. How can you not fall in love with a man-eating shark with the voice of Sly?thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-1971171692066402062022-08-30T19:24:09.467-07:002022-08-30T19:24:09.467-07:00I like this one much more than the first one, thou...I like this one much more than the first one, though there are some truly ludicrous scenes I don't think I want to watch again. That giant starfish really grosses me out too. But I do love Idris Elba in anything and Sly is hilarious as the Shark!ruthhttps://flixchatter.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-10495973259925218922022-08-24T12:50:09.273-07:002022-08-24T12:50:09.273-07:00@SJHoneywell-James Gunn seems to have an idea of h...@SJHoneywell-James Gunn seems to have an idea of how to tell a story and make it about characters that people can relate to in the fact that we're all flawed and maybe mischievous in some ways. I really enjoyed this film as it made no bones in what it is and what it wants to be. He is truly a filmmaker with a unique visual style but also has themes in all of his films that he enjoys exploring which makes me excited for whatever he'll do next. Yet, it is very unlikely he'll work with Warner Discovery with the way things are going over there. Marvel shouldn't cow-tow to these internet trolls and these politically-based factions. Gunn is just awesome and a hilarious dude who knows what the people want.<br /><br />Part of me hopes that one day, he does a project with Taika Waititi as I feel like they both share similar thematic tropes and music tastes. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-15955805045307237332022-08-24T04:41:58.027-07:002022-08-24T04:41:58.027-07:00I enjoyed this quite a bit.

He is exactly what the DCU needed--someone who doesn't take everything so seriously. This is probably the closest they'll get to the Marvel stuff...and it's not a coincidence that the easiest comparison is with Gunn's stuff in the MCU--the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
