Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
The Guardians of the Galaxy are the galaxy's most "loser" team, formed by chance encounter. After taking on a job to earn some pocket money, they come under attack from the fleet of the "Golden Planet." They are saved in the nick of time by Ego, a mysterious man who calls himself "Peter's father," and Mantis, who can read emotions just by touching him. What is the shocking The Truth behind Peter's birth? Furthermore, a terrible conspiracy that threatens the entire galaxy intertwines, and somehow they become the last hope to prevent the galaxy's destruction.

An engrossing opening title
In Marvel Cinematic Universe works, the movie title is not shown at the beginning, but is often shown as an elaborate motion graphic in the end credits, but in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2"(GOG:R), the title appears from the opening. Moreover, it is a very spirited image production.
At the beginning of the movie, the Guardians start fighting a giant monster, but just as the hot-blooded Drax leaps at the monster and the battle begins, Baby Groot connects a cable to the speakers, and what starts playing is none other than "Mr. Blue Sky" by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)! The screen freezes in time with the song, and the title appears. The camera then rotates 90 degrees around Baby Groot and the title, entering bullet time .* As the freeze ends, Baby Groot starts dancing to the music, and the camera continues to follow Baby Groot dancing in one long take, with the other Guardians fighting the monster in the background.
(*The camerawork revolving around Keanu Reeves in "The matrix")
When written down, it becomes a rather procedural explanation, but this opening scene is also available on the official YouTube channel , so I would definitely recommend that you check out the video.
