Main takeaways: Aly: I liked this movie a lot. It had a lot of different elements that made it both an easy watch and a meaningful watch – it was a lot like Guardians of the Galaxy in that sense. This movie was more “Marvel” like than its predecessor since it dealt with Peter asContinue reading “11: guardians of the galaxy vol. 2”
