Idea for future movie reviews: You could upload a spoiler free version and then put a link to an unlisted longer spoiler-y version at the end of your video :)
I've definitely been getting superhero film fatigue over the last few years, but am actually quite excited to see this one now both you and Dan have said it's genuinely really funny
Suzie Marshall Same! Couldn't even bring myself to finish watching Luke Cage, guess all the superhero movies and shows got too predictable or samey or something but... hopefully this'll be somewhat refreshing :)
I love it whenever you make a video about a movie, I don't know that many people irl who get quite as enthusiastic about film as me so it is always nice to watch your stuff
Have to say Jack I'm really enjoying this regular uploading thing! I've seen mixed reviews about Guardians of the Galaxy 2 but I am still excited to see it since I really loved the first one.
I love the way you talk, everything you say sounds interesting and has some kind of emotion behind it. That's what makes your vlog/reviews so good, I guess. Keep 'em comin'! :D
I would like to thank you Jack. My family and I have always been huge movie buffs. We are always watching and enjoying movies or going to see new releases. Over the years, from reading and reading, I had learned that every frame and line in a movie or production always means something or leads to something. So, over the years I found myself analyzing why a show would zoom in on certain objects or certain frame transitions. You have helped me now look at the bigger picture of a movie all together. Not always analyzing every piece of a movie but looking at all the pieces and how they work together to create a great movie; with character development, and a good, steady, plot. So, thank you jack. I look forward to watching more of your films and making my way through your channel!
I can't wait to see Galaxy vol 2. It is always so interesting to hear your take on stuff. I think it is because you are so much more knowledgeable about filming than most people I know. I will have to watch this again after I watch the movie.
I loved the video with Gareth Thomas! I'm not a film fanatic but I learnt a lot and hope you continue to do those videos because there at thousands who DID watch it! Also, I watched JADOT season 1 and 2 and it was bloody amazing. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as i did and I watched it with pretty high expectations :) hope there's a season 3!
I'm watching it tomorrow and as someone who loved the first film I am excited for this one, but this means the only thing I can talk about is the soundtrack and why ot works so bloody well. It's because it's written into the script, the actors hear the songs while acting and because it means something it's a part of the movie. Which is why when people compare it to SQ I can get really annoyed, that wasn't a great soundtrack it was a good PLAYLIST of great songs that could make it look edgy and new songs by massivly popular groups.
I was also genuinely surprised at how emotional it was! I was surprised that I cared about all of the characters to an extent; Drax and Mantis more than I expected. Honestly there was a scene with Groot where he is walking slowly down a hallway.... to those who have watched it, I have never felt so angry at a group of strangers in a movie in my life!
I don't often comment but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your interview with Gareth Edwards, as someone who's looking to go into film and TV it was interesting to hear two people so successful on their respective platforms talk about their passion ☀️
You have got me even more hyped to see this on Saturday with my mum! Fleetwood Mac on the soundtrack is a genius idea and with your insights I can tell I'm going to thoroughly enjoy this!
my ultimate goal is to be able to edit something that you have made. I love your work and as a film student i really look up to you and what youve created over the years
Genuinely loved the talk with Gareth Edwards, fantastic as a model of an authentic interview and the kind of thing other interviewers should strive towards. Would love to see more!
saw it only a couple of hours ago and man i love it one thing i like in a film is if it can get me to cry, i mean its not hard to make me cry but i think its pretty talented when a film makes salty water fall from my eyes, a person can make you cry when they are in front of you talking and interacting and when you really think about it, its a screen with pictures and images of things that are far from reality. This can do the same thing as a person close to you making you cry. i dont know i just think that's pretty cool man and the soundtrack, its just so good. when you listen to a really good song and the atmosphere is just perfect, like a epic song when you're driving through a mountain range or a cathartic song when you walk hood up in the rain with earphones ignoring the world. ah it just makes me incredibly happy. i felt this way watching the chain play near the closing. ah just wonderful
I saw GOTGVol2 at the London screening on Monday, and I've pretty much been saying exactly what you're saying about it. Especially with the jokes as usually I criticise films for having levity where it's not needed or when it ruins a tense moment but it absolutely worked in this film. I really loved it and the opening sequence was one of my favourite parts; it reintroduces and reaffirms every character brilliantly and really connects the film to the weird psychedelic 80s theme that the GOTG comics actually are. Glad you liked it Jack!
I pretty much agree with you all the way through. I think my only gripe with the movie was that there were times when the characters seemed like they suffered from a bit of Flanderization. Hopefully they don't take the character tropes too far in the inevitable follow-up. Overall the movie was fun as heck and made me feel things too
You have yet again managed to sum up my thoughts far more eloquently than I can. I definitely agree with it being a bit clunky in places and having some scenes in there that were fun but not necessarily necessary. Buuuutttt that being said it was still a great film for me, I loved the visuals of it all (It's great to get away from the dark moody comic book film look that's saturated the genre), and I was really surprised in a good way at all the little touching moments. Also I always loved Groot but I didn't think it was possible to want to adopt a CGI character. Well turns out, it is.
Seeing it tonight - can't wait! Also, for the record I would watch a half hour video of you talking with a director but I guess I'm in the minority. I love that kind of stuff.
I really enjoyed this film! I felt at the start some of the cgi and sets looked a bit cheap and dated but once the story kicked in I forgot all about it and was totally taken into the film! I loved all of the character development, it was fantastic, really well written.
Ah damn, just had a look at the views on the Star Wars chat (since you mentioned it), and that disparity really sucks; I love you interviewing and talking about film! As for this, great! I also wasn't totally taken in by GotG, it was fine but not as great as everyone else seemed to think (and I haven't watched it since the first time), but now I'm looking forward to the second one.
I agree with absolutely everything you said. I liked it better than the first film! I think maybe because they didn't really need to do much "world building", or in this case galaxy building, they were able to stick to character development, which I really appreciated. It was also super refreshing to have the characters be so comfortable with each other. It was just great and I loved it. Thanks for your thoughts, Jack!
I saw the first film really late into its cinema run. Everyone had built it up so much that when I finally saw it, I didn't find it as entertaining as I thought I would. This second film made me laugh and tugged at my heartstrings way more. Also I was so happy to see more of Sean gunn because I love Gilmore girls and he is the best.
I think you should do a review of all (most) of the recent marvel movies - like which ones have the best action sequences, character developments, plot arcs, etc and basically piecewise the different components together to create the best superhero movie of all time. I also think you should make it with someone else (like Hazel or Daniel J.) and compare what your final results are to see how different components of movies have different meanings to different people and because I enjoy your film thoughts/review segments. And your videos in general lol 😄. If you see this - hope you're having a great day!
Totally agree with what you said bout Dr. Strange, that bit at the end where Wong finally laughs at a joke - killed any tension that that massive fucking fight had created and then any further attempts at serious plot development or finishing just felt odd
I finally saw the first Guardian movie two nights ago, and wasn't overly excited by it, so I was relieved to hear your initial viewing also didn't go well. I do think I'll enjoy it more the next time I watch it, as I cared more for the characters at the end of the movie than I did through most of it. I'm glad to hear they do more character development in the second movie. *good news* Congrats on meeting Josh Whedon!! There aren't many people I'd get truly excited to meet, but he's one of them. :D
I LOVED the first movie, and actually consider it to be my favorite movie ever. That being said, I think Vol. 2 fits with the first. Not that it's better or worse... it just fits. I don't think Vol. 2 works as a standalone movie, but it definitely works with the first. I loved it thoroughly and I hope to catch it again while it's still in cinemas :)
I went to see the movies in a midnight premiere-marathon kinda deal, and I thought it was brilliant! I'm not always sure how I feel about the relations between the characters, but I think they did a really good job on both films with all of them having actual, fleshed out, different identities and goals. I thought the villain was really interesting (even though I did see it coming a little bit) and their story gave really good food for thought, as they obviously share similarities with things in our own world. I also really like how, unlike in some other marvel films and Sherlock, most of the time you can actually keep up with what's happening rather than going 'aaah' in hindsight. Overall: zero regrets for ruining my chances of a proper night's sleep.
i seen it yesterday and enjoyed it.. I'm a bit of a Marvel nut and usually when I come out of the cinema after seeing an MCU movie I straight away delve in and analyse everything.. With Guardians Vol. 2 I didn't. I just ENJOYED it. Which is a breath of fresh air for the MCU!
My feelings about the film are pretty similar to yours. I think I enjoyed this one more than the first one too, but maybe it's because i haven't seen the first one in a while. But wow I am bloody attached to these characters
I completely agree! I really enjoyed the first film and this film was really enjoyable. Some parts of this one did feel a bit clunky and the emotions were a bit over kill but the whole villain and the plot with his dad I thought was really interesting. I felt that the whole sister love thing was over kill but it's only a few things that I didn't like about the film. Over all I thought it was well put together and a nice film. Baby groot was super cute but I'm ready for him to be a big tree again honestly. I'm excited for the new film and having Adam warlock as the new villain, that will be really cool to see how they revamp him.
Those who compile the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy deserve a lot of recognition for being able to create a soundtrack that carry the vibe of the film in an original way. The music was definitely a big factor of why GOTG is such a good subsection of Marvel films.
Was really hoping you'd be doing a review, because I was very undecided on how I felt about it and we usually have similar opinions on films. I agree with majority of what you're saying, I felt like it went a bit fast but honestly I did feel like some of the gags were forced and dragged out. Also I disagree that it's better than the first one, but other than that. Feelings are pretty mutual!
Loved that they went light on the romance and instead focused on the whole sister-bond-thingy. Also for me the movie showed that biological fathers aren't always the best dads and to combine these two messages with a sci-fi action comedy... well done I'd say.
The fight at the end for me felt like Harry and Voldemort with all the flying about. I too thought this was so much greater than the first. Especially the way the humour was done, so much more authentic than Dead Pool. The character development with Rocket, Nebula - I was laughing one minute and almost wanting to cry the next. Great aesthetic, great soundtrack, exceeded my expectations going in.
I really felt like this was the first Marvel film that really nailed an ensemble cast while making each character feel like they had a meaningful part in the film. Mostly this comes down to everything being really strongly tied around a theme. All the subplots and character arcs fit thematically (whereas Civil War, for example, was a bit messy with how some of the subplots dovetailed into the main plot). I also think you're absolutely right, this is the first time since Loki that they've had a really compelling villain. Not perfect, but up there. Potentially my favourite Marvel film?
I thought it was cool and refreshing that a big hollywood blockbuster didn't shy away from emotion! also actual character development in a majority of the main characters?? loved it.
I was hoping you would mention Loki when you said "finally a good villain" cause GOD (that's what Loki is) he was so perfectly written and Tom Hiddleston is amazing.
jack! what're your hopes for thor:ragnarok? i'm a bit of a taika waititi fan so i'm looking forward to seeing him work on such a highly anticipated film.
I had that exact thought about Man of Steel when they were flying about smashing each other except this time I wasn't sat waiting for it to be over and to leave the cinema
i liked it. loved that characters and felt everything more or less had a good amount of screen time. there was also very little useless scenes which i love
I agree in the caring about all the characters, but I think GotG2 actually managed to get in some backstory for all the characters, and I think that helped massively with the interconnectivity between them all. I hadn't seen the first GotG, and I honestly don't think it mattered as long as you were aware that there was a previous film, since they managed to explain so much with only a few lines, or facial expressions - essentially it just flowed really well. Saying that, I am off to go and watch the first one because volume 2 was wonderful and had the whole cinema in stitches.
So glad that its good, nice vid too jack. But important question: how many after credit scenes were there? some people are saying 5 some are saying 2 somebody said none me is little bewildered. xx
and iiiif YOU DONT LOVE ME NOOOW you will NEVER LOVE AGAAAIN
+doddleoddle you can't whack a bit of Fleetwood Mac
I CAN STILL HEAR YOU SAYING YOU WOULD NEVER LOVE ME AGAIN!
doddleoddle I can still hear you saying I will never break the chains
Hey! LOL i got the lyrics wrong!!
@@freyajones2166 *epic drum buildup*
difference between this thumbnail and the Suicide Sqad one really spoke volumes.
You didn't touch your hair enough.
Daniel J. Layton hi dan how's it going
I like how he is still salty about suicide squad
amalia clements
who isn't
amalia clements i'm salty because they fucked up two of my favourite characters and now they're mainstream because of a bad performance.
i agree. it was shit
amalia clements one of the wrost moments of human history, how could you forget it?
yeah no iron man 2 and 3 were worse
I'd really like to see a comparison of the most common mistakes that DC makes as opposed to Marvel.
Karly Mullen that seems like a really good idea
+PotatoXHead97 I think it'd be very entertaining.
Hmm... maybe but DC movies are nutritiously bad
"You actually care about the characters..." loving the subtle shade to suicide squad
Nathan Holstrom honestly you're very right
Idea for future movie reviews: You could upload a spoiler free version and then put a link to an unlisted longer spoiler-y version at the end of your video :)
MadE Yes to this idea!!

"Pop music doesn't solve all your problems" i fucking love you
I've definitely been getting superhero film fatigue over the last few years, but am actually quite excited to see this one now both you and Dan have said it's genuinely really funny
Suzie Marshall Same! Couldn't even bring myself to finish watching Luke Cage, guess all the superhero movies and shows got too predictable or samey or something but... hopefully this'll be somewhat refreshing :)
Suzie Marshall I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout! definitely a great film
I love it whenever you make a video about a movie, I don't know that many people irl who get quite as enthusiastic about film as me so it is always nice to watch your stuff
MAYBE A BIGGER CHRIS PRATT
ROFL xD
Have to say Jack I'm really enjoying this regular uploading thing! I've seen mixed reviews about Guardians of the Galaxy 2 but I am still excited to see it since I really loved the first one.
Legend says if you're early, Jack will ignore you and I'm perfectly fine with that
Jack wtf I was being sarcastic
You were trying to get a reply
That. was. the. joke.
Still top comment so it's not all bad
Killjoy ayyyy nice name 👌
Fuck me i'm early
It's like prom night all over again
I love the way you talk, everything you say sounds interesting and has some kind of emotion behind it. That's what makes your vlog/reviews so good, I guess. Keep 'em comin'! :D
more reviews like this! i really liked your tone in this and your honesty :)

I always really respect your opinion on film, you always have a really well balanced, well supported, and analytical opinion. Major props
Please more 15 minute conversations with directors, it's so interesting and lovely to see you so invested in something
Not many UA-camrs make me actually laugh out loud while educating me on various subjects. Glad you're uploading more often now, Jack!
I can't wait to see Galaxy vol 2. It is always so interesting to hear your take on stuff. I think it is because you are so much more knowledgeable about filming than most people I know. I will have to watch this again after I watch the movie.

I love the review Jack, you need to do more bro!
I've never been a film person but I fucking love listening to you talk about them.
I was also genuinely surprised at how emotional it was!
I was surprised that I cared about all of the characters to an extent; Drax and Mantis more than I expected.
Honestly there was a scene with Groot where he is walking slowly down a hallway.... to those who have watched it, I have never felt so angry at a group of strangers in a movie in my life!
Just so jealous of you meeting James Gunn and the cast mates! I can't wait to see GOTG Vol 2, glad you liked it.
I don't often comment but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your interview with Gareth Edwards, as someone who's looking to go into film and TV it was interesting to hear two people so successful on their respective platforms talk about their passion ☀️
hello
hiya
Going to see it tomorrow, hope it lives up to both my own expectations and your review
Seeing this tomorrow. I am super excited and your review has just made me even more so. Woo.
Love the pause before the swear at the end haha
I really enjoy your conversations with directors and film related content in general.
I just felt that should be said.
You have got me even more hyped to see this on Saturday with my mum! Fleetwood Mac on the soundtrack is a genius idea and with your insights I can tell I'm going to thoroughly enjoy this!
that microphone peak during that little Man of Steel unleashing of raw anger made me get a semi
thanks Jack Howard
my ultimate goal is to be able to edit something that you have made. I love your work and as a film student i really look up to you and what youve created over the years
Genuinely loved the talk with Gareth Edwards, fantastic as a model of an authentic interview and the kind of thing other interviewers should strive towards. Would love to see more!

man and the soundtrack, its just so good. when you listen to a really good song and the atmosphere is just perfect, like a epic song when you're driving through a mountain range or a cathartic song when you walk hood up in the rain with earphones ignoring the world. ah it just makes me incredibly happy. i felt this way watching the chain play near the closing. ah just wonderful

Glad you liked it Jack!
i'm going to the first showing on thursday night! i'm very excited! also, i love watching you talk about films before i go see them lol
I had the biggest grin at "DC, pop music doesn't solve your FUCKING problem"
Jack is honestly one of those people who I could listen to talk about anything x
I am going to watch Gotg2 tomorrow and you just got me SO much more hyped than I already was (if that's even possible, lol)! Can't wait!
"DC- POP MUSIC DOESN'T SOLVE YOUR FUCKING PROBLEMS" oh the shade 😂😂 *flashback to suicide squad rant*
Going to see it on Monday very excited!!
I pretty much agree with you all the way through. I think my only gripe with the movie was that there were times when the characters seemed like they suffered from a bit of Flanderization. Hopefully they don't take the character tropes too far in the inevitable follow-up. Overall the movie was fun as heck and made me feel things too
You have yet again managed to sum up my thoughts far more eloquently than I can. I definitely agree with it being a bit clunky in places and having some scenes in there that were fun but not necessarily necessary. Buuuutttt that being said it was still a great film for me, I loved the visuals of it all (It's great to get away from the dark moody comic book film look that's saturated the genre), and I was really surprised in a good way at all the little touching moments. Also I always loved Groot but I didn't think it was possible to want to adopt a CGI character. Well turns out, it is.
P.S. Love these movie chats, make as many as you like, I'll keep watching.
So looking forward to this film!
Seeing it tonight - can't wait! Also, for the record I would watch a half hour video of you talking with a director but I guess I'm in the minority. I love that kind of stuff.
Cheers David. Enjoy the movie!
I really enjoyed this film! I felt at the start some of the cgi and sets looked a bit cheap and dated but once the story kicked in I forgot all about it and was totally taken into the film! I loved all of the character development, it was fantastic, really well written.
Ah damn, just had a look at the views on the Star Wars chat (since you mentioned it), and that disparity really sucks; I love you interviewing and talking about film!
As for this, great! I also wasn't totally taken in by GotG, it was fine but not as great as everyone else seemed to think (and I haven't watched it since the first time), but now I'm looking forward to the second one.
I'm so excited to see volume two
Thank you so much!!!! I'm seeing the movie today and i was kind of worried that it would be boring!
THE FREAKING SOUNDTRACK
Never stop uploading you interviewing directers. EVER! Lol x
I agree with absolutely everything you said. I liked it better than the first film! I think maybe because they didn't really need to do much "world building", or in this case galaxy building, they were able to stick to character development, which I really appreciated.

You literally put all my thoughts into words
I think you should do a review of all (most) of the recent marvel movies - like which ones have the best action sequences, character developments, plot arcs, etc and basically piecewise the different components together to create the best superhero movie of all time. I also think you should make it with someone else (like Hazel or Daniel J.) and compare what your final results are to see how different components of movies have different meanings to different people and because I enjoy your film thoughts/review segments.

I don't think Vol. 2 works as a standalone movie, but it definitely works with the first. I loved it thoroughly and I hope to catch it again while it's still in cinemas :)
I completely agree with you Jack, that's exactly what I said when I left the theatre
I'm going to the midnight screening tonight straight after a 12 hour shift I'm gonna be so exhausted but idc I can't WAIT
I went to see the movies in a midnight premiere-marathon kinda deal, and I thought it was brilliant! I'm not always sure how I feel about the relations between the characters, but I think they did a really good job on both films with all of them having actual, fleshed out, different identities and goals.

just saw this film - absolutely loved it!
Just sat here waiting for the DC fanboys to start a war against Jack Howard now...
this makes me excited to see the film. yay!!
I can't wait to see it
can't wait till GCSEs are over so I can actually fucking see this film
Most Likely Mu Trust me, they never end😭 I'm now onto Alevels and like, I thought it would be better but i was so wrong.
Mollyisnotonfire :^(
I haven't watched either GotG movies, out of ten how much would you recommend?
This is so cool! I so wish to see it ❤️
Okay now I really need a rant video about Man of Steel.
Was really hoping you'd be doing a review, because I was very undecided on how I felt about it and we usually have similar opinions on films. I agree with majority of what you're saying, I felt like it went a bit fast but honestly I did feel like some of the gags were forced and dragged out. Also I disagree that it's better than the first one, but other than that. Feelings are pretty mutual!
I really liked the first one, so super excited for this one
Three questions:
What camera are you using?
What lighting are you using?
How do you make your skin look so smooth?
I love ur glasses btw
i loved gog2, i'm normally not a huge superhero movie fan but the characters were nicely thought out and the jokes were really good
Loved that they went light on the romance and instead focused on the whole sister-bond-thingy. Also for me the movie showed that biological fathers aren't always the best dads and to combine these two messages with a sci-fi action comedy... well done I'd say.
Very excited to see this film now! Also, can't wait till you see Spiderman: Homecoming and see you gushing all about it!
Yo yo yo I'm going to Lincoln uni to do media production next year, saw your face in the prospectus too ✌🏼
The fight at the end for me felt like Harry and Voldemort with all the flying about. I too thought this was so much greater than the first. Especially the way the humour was done, so much more authentic than Dead Pool. The character development with Rocket, Nebula - I was laughing one minute and almost wanting to cry the next.

I also think you're absolutely right, this is the first time since Loki that they've had a really compelling villain. Not perfect, but up there. Potentially my favourite Marvel film?
I thought it was cool and refreshing that a big hollywood blockbuster didn't shy away from emotion! also actual character development in a majority of the main characters?? loved it.
I was sad at the end when I thought he wasn't going to mention the soundtrack - fleetwood Mac specifically - but I guess I'm kind of psychic
I was hoping you would mention Loki when you said "finally a good villain" cause GOD (that's what Loki is) he was so perfectly written and Tom Hiddleston is amazing.
jack! what're your hopes for thor:ragnarok? i'm a bit of a taika waititi fan so i'm looking forward to seeing him work on such a highly anticipated film.
I WISH I COULD GO TO THE PREMIERE 😭
I had that exact thought about Man of Steel when they were flying about smashing each other except this time I wasn't sat waiting for it to be over and to leave the cinema
the man of steel bit I thought it was like the voldemort and harry potter fight in part 2 when they're flying around
i liked it. loved that characters and felt everything more or less had a good amount of screen time. there was also very little useless scenes which i love
Is there a video of jack ranting about man of steel because I fucking hate that film
I agree in the caring about all the characters, but I think GotG2 actually managed to get in some backstory for all the characters, and I think that helped massively with the interconnectivity between them all. I hadn't seen the first GotG, and I honestly don't think it mattered as long as you were aware that there was a previous film, since they managed to explain so much with only a few lines, or facial expressions - essentially it just flowed really well. Saying that, I am off to go and watch the first one because volume 2 was wonderful and had the whole cinema in stitches.
So glad that its good, nice vid too jack. But important question: how many after credit scenes were there? some people are saying 5 some are saying 2 somebody said none me is little bewildered. xx
I think there are 5. None are particularly exciting. But they're all fun.
oh right awesome, looking forward to it, thanks jack. me is less bewildered now xx
do I need to have seen the first one to watch/enjoy this one? bc my friends are going but I haven't seen vol. 1
