It had plenty of soul. It was essentially the episode of Fresh Prince where Will's dad comes back like he was making up for lost time, but turns out to be a liar and selfish, but Will realizes that Uncle Phil has been a father to him this whole time shortly before uncle phil sacrifices himself for will as an act of contrition

i think Chris Pratt has more natural charisma (in the sense that he's more likable/a relatable goof), but it kinda amuses me that they had a Bradley Cooper character in Star Lord, but chose to make him a CGI character

Yeah as a parent all you really have to worry about is some language with the MCU movies and with my 6 year old telling me one of his friends was telling everyone to fuck off the other day they hear worse at school.

It's funny how the characters are so invincible that for the obligatory (and unearned) sacrifice at the end, they have to come up with the most absurd and arbitrary way to kill him.
They make such a big deal out of the soundtrack, desperately trying to make it seem so trendy and cool, when its generic bullshit you could hear on any classic rock radio station for the past 35 years. And they even weave it into the plot? bleh.
bad guy says something really pompous and important. *record scratch deflating quip hilarity? repeat a million times
Everything is so jokey that it's impossible to take anything seriously or feel like there is any tension. Serious bits are constantly undermined by tired and predictable quips. Even if they weren't, the attempts at emotional manipulation are so obvious and formulaic, they wouldn't work anyway.
"If you kill me, you'll be just like everyone else!" "what's wrong with that?" barf.
The comedy really is on a child's level. If you saw it with kids, I could see why you thought it was great. 'm sure they enjoyed it.
It's still somehow better than the first, which is awful.
This is the Disney formula at it's most cynical. Kill it with fire.
