Better with supporting cast breaking out.

Unlike most sequels, this is better than the original. The main characters have grown into their parts, but the best part is how supporting characters add texture, humor, and interest to the whole. The best parts are Yondu, Rocket, and Baby Groot.

I resisted watching the original movie for a long time, not so with Vol 2. Don't wait. See it often and make sure you have a copy to stream. It never gets old, just keeps getting better with each re-watch.

Movie was great follow-up to part 1

Movie was great follow-up to part 1. I felt like it was a little too mushy in relation to the "Star-Lord finding his long lost father". It was a good build up and reveal. But I felt like that took up more time than it should have. I get that they make movies to appeal to a broader spectrum of people aside from the Marvel crowd so they beefed it up in that aspect. But it was more obvious in this movie, especially with the extra Drax comedy relief moments. The scenery was amazing, character development was great, only real complaint was Rocket going backwards in a sense of achievement and attitude. They just made him sort of a jerk in the movie and his solitary action created a big ordeal. Overall still wouldn't kick this movie out of my collection by any means as is still has great replay value. I hope part 3 brings it all together and really makes this series the gold standard for action/comic book movies.

I think what makes the Guardians movies work so well (love that Guardians is now plural) is summed up by one scene. It contains the line "I'm Mary Poppins y'all!" Seriously, that one scene is why it works so well.

Love these movies and so glad they have turned out even better than that 2nd trailer that had 'Spirit In The Sky' in it way back.

To tell the truth, I was wasn't worried at all about Vol. 2. It's as fun and serious and deep and silly and teary as I'd hoped. Kudos to all involved!

I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL !

August 12, 2017

Even though the first movie was awesome, I'd have to say Vol. 2 was better. The music was definitely better in Vol. 1, though.

Yondu stole the scene with that line, "I'm Mary Poppins y'all!" Hilarious!

Plenty of action, great comedic scenes, and some good character development. Story was interesting as well.

I see critical reviews about the story being "light", "boring", "okish". It reminds me of my friend who felt the same thing about Star Wars. Or, how executives at FOX decided to cancel "Firefly".. These people don't connect emotionally to the movie "experience". They're more like "thought entities", deconstructing and appreciating it, on how it agrees with their thoughts.

Interestingly enough, the story kind of delves into that. On whether existence is better with "meaning" and "purpose", or better experienced with "heart".

It's that line from "Jerry Maguire", from Dicky Fox, "If this is empty (heart), this (head) doesn't matter."

Guardians 2 starts right off with fun, and never a dull moment from then on. 19 MCU films now and this is on my top 5, and I think it's actually better than Guardians 1, which was fabulous. Michael Rooker's Yondu I liked from the beginning, I like him even more in this one. He may be a blue skinned alien pirate, but - don't we all know somebody just like him? Kurt Russell gets a turn playing god, in scenes reminiscent of Star Trek V but this movie is ten times better.

The choice to score the Guardians films with 1970s pop music is in stark contrast to the hard core action film scores of the other Marvels, and just adds to the fun.

Another 5 star Marvel

March 30, 2018

A great sequel to an awesome movie. Personally I thought the first one was a little better (I always like the character development in movies like this). But this was a great follow up to the original Guardians and still deserves 5 stars. I'm a huge Sci-Fi and Super Hero movie fan, but my wife not so much. But some how I got her to go see this in the theater and she just loved it. Liked it so much, she asked for it for her birthday. It's funny, action packed and full of great special effects. She also can't get enough of baby Groot. We watched it with a friend of ours who has no desire for this type of move, but when it was over she said "that was great, now I have to see the first one". If you like Sci-Fi, Super Heroes or just any type of action movie, this is for you!

Great 3D copy

March 30, 2019

Exactly as pictured. The copy I received included a 3D Blu Ray and standard Blu Ray disks, but no inserts. This was not a big deal for me, but may be to some. With 3D disks getting harder to find, you have to take what is available. The copy I received is an Irish copy but you cannot tell if you didn't know. The disks play completely in English without subtitles (unless you choose to enable that feature).

WOW!

December 3, 2017

It is seldom that you can say a sequel is as good or even better than the first, especially when the first was so completely awesome to begin with, but this particular sequel really met the challenge and exceeded expectations! I really appreciated the character development that happened for almost everyone. My favorite however, was the way this show addresses many of the issues faced by many young people. It took the issues of, parent problems, sibling problems, abuse, neglect and proxy/foster parenting all in stride, and managed to acknowledge the struggle, and make it something that, instead of devaluing a person, gives them opportunity to choose to be better! This is such a great show! Also really funny, with fabulous music!

As good as the first - worth the time!

October 18, 2017

I am very impressed that this sequel is as good as the first. I plan on watching 1 & 2 on rainy / winter days because it's just a fun series and the characters work well. They avoided some pitfalls of other sequels that focus too much on forced humor, or graphic humor. This maintained a good storyline, continued character development, and maintained visual effects that made the first one fun. I downloaded an app to read the comic on my phone because this second one made me want to read more of the story. I recommend.
