Not only ...Oh boy, that "Taserface" joke. Not only is it that joke older than a celestial, since when have these space people heard of a taser? That joke felt very Earthbound to me, if you can call it a joke in the first place.Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399713449347559869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633480297352890314.post-29777459028962316292017-05-11T12:34:12.267-11:002017-05-11T12:34:12.267-11:00Honestly, if you told me that Drax and Mantis were...Honestly, if you told me that Drax and Mantis were actually Gunn's least favorite, I'd believe you. It's perverse enough to be true: instead of writing giant block paragraphs of dialogue about how Drax has the sads, Gunn just takes the easy way out and trains a camera on a Dave Bautista who <i>looks sad.</i><br /><br />Shockingly, it actually worked. Why, it's almost like less can be more sometimes.<br /><br />Anyway, I'd never heard of Pom Klementieff before this movie, but she really is pretty great, the poor ugly monster. (Thought experiment: does the "Taserface" joke actually work significantly better if he'd been named "Pom Klementieff"?

That Come a Little Bit Closer scene. And Pom Klementieff is a damn revelation.<br /><br />But that dialogue is just clunky as all hell. Any time we had to sit down and chew on that "family" theme was just unbearable. The second time I saw it (yeah, I've already seen it twice, so I guess there's no point grousing too much), I discovered the true purpose these moments: convenient bathroom breaks between Drax scenes.Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399713449347559869noreply@blogger.com
