Our Brad Slager covered the box office take for Chris Pratt’s latest movie, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” on Sunday.
The movie is doing pretty well, and with good reason.
This is the perfect sequel to another Marvel Cinematic Universe masterpiece.
I saw the movie on opening night and loved every minute of it.
The action is fast-paced, it’s full of memorable one-liners, digs deep into the origin territory of Peter Quill… aka… Star-Lord’s parentage, and of course – Baby Groot.
It’s a solid outing and anyone who enjoys the superhero branch of the action movie genre will not leave disappointed.
Seriously, go see this movie today. Right now!
Ok. Go see it as soon as you’re done reading this.
Now, apart from the fact that this is as fun of a movie as you could ever hope to see, it’s always a rewarding feeling to know you’re supporting the efforts of someone who isn’t the typical, self-absorbed Hollywood “star.”
Chris Pratt is actually a decent human being.
Case in point: Last week, Pratt made an off-handed comment about Instagram’s habit of muting their videos, forcing people to turn up the volume.
Pratt put out a video with subtitles, but commented that folks should turn up the volume and not just read the subtitles.
Some of Pratt’s hearing impaired fans pointed out that they actually needed those subtitles.
It may seem like a small thing, but Pratt was not content to ignore it, so he graciously submitted an Instagram video, using sign language to apologize to those fans with hearing disabilities, who may have felt slighted by his earlier comments.
He didn’t have to, but he apparently wanted to, and that says a lot about the man’s character.
You’re a good soul, Mr. Pratt.
