Of all the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows that have debuted on the Disney+ streaming service, the one I thought in advance would be the one I liked least, MS MARVEL, turned out to be my favorite of these superhero series. So, I was GEEKED to see Ms. Marvel team up with Captain Marvel in the motion picture THE MARVELS.

In THE MARVELS, Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree.

Grab some snacks and get ready to enjoy an incredible sci-fi adventure! Marvel Studios'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is now available to add to your home video library on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true
parentage in this cosmic adventure.
Set to a soundtrack of music compiled from a mixtape of Peter Quill's favorite songs from his youth, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 provides audiences with a sonic backdrop of awesomeness as they watch the movie. What if everybody had a mixtape serving as a soundtrack for their life's adventures based upon your favorite songs while growing up? Inspired by the great music incorporated into the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, I've created my own AWESOME MIXTAPE playlist on Spotify filled with songs from my adolescence to serve as a soundtrack for the adventures I'm having now with my kids as a dad:
We haven't flown off to explore the outer regions of the cosmos, but my kids have had lots of fun adventures in our backyard inspired by comic book stories. While Guardians of Galaxy is a science fiction adventure it is also based upon Marvel comic book characters and stories. Comic books have been a great inspiration for getting my kids engaged in imaginative play.
Speaking of comic book heroes! My daughter was thunderstruck by the chance to meet Thor and being challenged to take Mjolnir away from him. We weren't able to take the great war hammer with us home as a souvenir because she couldn't budge it but the moment provided a life long memory.
It may not seem too adventurous but simply playing in the rain has provided some exciting times. Have you ever sung and danced in a rain shower? It really will put a smile on your face!
That time the dinosaur chased us! Can you walk the dinosaur? Today's technology and special effects have provided us some spectacular opportunities that I could have only imagined as a kid.
The twins were apprehensive at first about riding thrill rides at amusement parks and carnivals, but once they rode a roller coaster for the first time they were hooked. Now they can't get enough of spinning around and around.
Visiting car shows is something we regularly do rain or shine year after year. My kids favorite cars are hotrods like the ones the band ZZ Top featured in their music videos. We'll often doubleback to check out impressive ones we really like multiple times while wandering around.
I really want my kids to experience places that are both entertaining and educational. We've been to numerous battlefields, museums, science centers, and zoos over the years. It has become a family tradition to stop at these types of places no matter where we are going on vacation.
Some of our best times together as a family have just been enjoying the splendors of nature whether it has been taking a hike through a local nature trail or going on a trek to a national park. Make time to enjoy sunsets and natural spaces as you walk through life.
I'm a passionate Detroit Tigers fan. Sharing being a fanatic and enjoying a visit to the ballpark to cheer on the team with my kids have been some very special times for me as a dad. Whether it is playing catch in the backyard or watching a game together I'm so glad my kids have adopted my love of the game of baseball.
Going to the movies to see a film on the big screen is one of our favorite treats when it comes to a family outing on the town. We always go a bit overboard with the sugary snacks enjoying frozen soda drinks, buttered popcorn and candy when going out to see a movie. Our whole family LOVED seeing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at the theater. We are so excited to be able to see it over and over again now with the movie out on home video.
So that's my AWESOME MIXTAPE inspired by Star Lord's selections in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2? It appears that Peter Quill and I grew up on the planet Earth around the same period of time from our mixtape selections. I hope you liked my own mixtape containing favorite songs from my youth. Please enjoy it on Spotify:

My son and I were invited to an advance screening of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 by Marvel Studios before the movie officially opened to the public. We're both big sci-fi fans and seeing the movie together made for a great father-son outing. Going to see Star Wars at the theater with my dad as a kid was what made me into a wide eyed fan of futuristic space fantasies and taking my son to see the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie spurred a similar love of cosmic adventures with him.
He's been asking to go see this movie since its trailers started coming out. So what did he thing of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.? I asked him after the movie concluded what he thought of it and received a one word review ... "AWESOME!"
Picking up where the original movie left off this sequel continues the adventures of Star Lord and his eccentric band of misfits who after having saved the planet Xandar have been able to line up some lucrative mercenary work. The story starts with these Guardians of the Galaxy in the midst of a gig for a race of arrogant aliens known as the Sovereign who have genetically modified themselves to "perfection." The Sovereign don't want to risk injury to any of themselves in confronting an inter-dimensional monster that is feeding off their planet's power sources so they call in Star Lord (aka Peter Quill), Drax, Rocket, Gamora and a baby version of Groot that sprouted from the splinters of that hero's sacrifice in the first film. Of course things quickly go amiss!
The movie has an incredible soundtrack based upon the Awesome Mixtape #2 that was a present from Quill's deceased mother had given him at the time of her death that he had long ignored until finally unwrapping it at the conclusion of the first movie. The soundtrack along with the movie's visual elements and script provide it with a campy '70s / '80s vibe. The film is a wacky space adventure which is meant to be fun to watch and doesn't take itself too seriously. Director James Gunn does an excellent job of incorporating classic science fiction elements from comic strip, pulp fiction, television and movies such as Buck Rogers, John Carter of Mars, and Flash Gordon while still providing a unique sense of originality to the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
People have asked me if Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is better or worse than the first film. I wouldn't say this sequel is better or worse that its predecessor but rather it is an enjoyable show to watch in its own right. As a negative, the movie at some points has a slower pace and the plot drags on compared to the constant fast-pace of the original. On a positive note this is because the film has more of a focus on developing the characters and immersing the audience into their lives. Gunn doesn't want audiences to just be excited about the action scenes in the movie but rather have an emotional connection with the characters so people have a personal attachment to this franchise and wants to keep following its adventures. There of course is a Vol. 3 in the works plus the Guardians will be teaming up with Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the next Avengers movie.
There are two underlying themes to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 --> family and redemption. The movie really delves into how though people may not be biologically related they can still consider one another family. It also explores the difficulties of maintaining a family dynamic when dealing with a variety of dysfunctional elements within the group. A number of the characters in the movie also have moments of redemption. Whether it is making up for past misdeeds, healing a relationship or changing a behavioral trait there are a lot of situations where characters are redeeming themselves in this movie.
Baby Groot is the star of the show! "I am Groot" is still his catchphrase but he's a miniature version of the tree-like alien character from the original movie now. His hilarious antics are sure to put a smile on your face and there are a lot of scenes where you just find yourself saying aw! You'll want to check out this young version of Groot now because by the time the next movie comes out the character will most likely be gigantic in size again.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is full of the wisecracking and physical comedy that made the first movie standout. David Bautista had perfected a deadpan delivery for his lines as Drax the Destroyer that will leave you in stitches laughing at his awkward lack of a filter and strange way of looking at life. Rocket, voiced by Bradley Cooper, provides the foul mouth of a stand up comedian contributing to the movie's PG-13 rating. This rowdy racoon instigates a lot of the situations that will get you chuckling. This is the type of movie filled with action sequences and comedic situations where you don't think a lot about what is going on regarding the plot but just enjoy the ride!
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action and violence, language and brief suggestive sexual content but I have to say that there wasn't anything in the show that was concerning for my eight year old son to see. To be honest, kids will be exposed to more troubling content watching many of today's prime time network sitcoms compared to anything contained in this movie. That being said there really should be some parental discretion to determine if the movie is appropriate to see for children younger than elementary school age as it does have scenes that could be too scary or intense for them that include monsters and people dying.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 gets A Geek Daddynod of approval because my son and I really enjoyed watching it...simple as that! This franchise is the Star Wars for a new generation of science fiction fans and I applaud James Gunn for expanding upon the current fad in comic book super hero films to create something that not only enhances the Marvel cinematic universe but is really special in its own right. Go out and see this movie while its still in movies so you can really take in its high octane stunts and special effects that truly stand out on the big screen. I guarantee you'll be leaving the theater with a smile on your face!
I've enjoyed following the adventures of Doctor Strange ever since flipping through the pages of Marvel's THE DEFENDERS comic books as a kid. In these comics, the mystic wizard Doctor Strange led a super powered team consisting of the Incredible Hulk, Namor, the Silver Surfer, and a female Asgardian named Valkyrie, who could give Thor a run for his money in a duel, that took on extraterrestrial and supernatural threats to the Earth. So I'm really excited that Disney's Marvel Studios is releasing an origin story movie featuring the Sorcerer Supreme that will arrive on November 4, 2016 at movie theaters across the United States.
The movie will tell the story of how Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange
transforms from being a brilliant surgeon to becoming the world's
Sorcerer Supreme after a tragic car accident ruins his medical career.
Doctor Strange travels the globe looking for a cure to restore his
damaged hands from the car accident and while traversing through Asia
encounters the Ancient One who teaches him to be a master of the
mystical and martial arts. Doctor Strange uses his new talents to take
up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme setting up residence in a New York
City mansion he calls the Sanctum Sanctorum and focusing his life on
defending the world from dark magic, demonic intrusions and super
villains.
Marvel Studios has just released a new trailer and movie poster to help build excitement for the movie. Check them out below!
By the Flames of the Faltine! Nobody is going to need to conjure up a spell to enchant me into going to this movie, I'm raring to go! If you are as excited about going to see this movie as I am, or have no clue who this comic book character is and want to learn more, visit the official Marvel website or follow the movie's social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter for updates on DOCTOR STRANGE.
