Movie is great, NEVER buying Amazon Digital again

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2018

I love the movie but didn't realise when you drop $15 on a digital copy you don't get to store it on your pc and download it. This would be a non-issue if Amazon's streaming service wasn't complete garbage. Also means, if they take the movie off the server, you don't have it anymore. Great. Good movie, I connected more to it than the first. Loved rocket (have a thing for raccoons) and the way they fleshed him out more. Better movie overall than the first and another rare Marvel movie that does more than the others and stands out from the formula just enough to make you notice. Not as ambitious as Ragnarok, but more personally relatable.

Enjoyable but a bit less fun than Vol. 1

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018

Somewhat less fun than the first one, doesn't quite live up to high expectations. Solid performances by the main cast. Michael Rooker as Yondu steals every scene he's in with his usual intensity. Kurt Russell is a blast as always. The script and plot were a letdown compared to Vol. 1. Excellent effects as always. Soundtrack didn't disappoint.

Better with supporting cast breaking out.

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

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

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

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.

Love these movies and so glad they have turned out ...

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2017

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 !

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

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."

2nd Guardians deals with fathers siblings and family w/usual mix of music comedy action

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

The second Guardians of the Galaxy started off right where the first movie left off. There was still the mix of music, comedy and action. This volume focused upon family. First there was the relationship between Quill (Chris Pratt) and his newly discovered father Ego with a brilliant casting choice of Kurt Russell, and then the ties between Quill and Yondu (Michael Rooker) who raised him. Secondary to that was the sibling rivalry between Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillan). Finally, there was the idea that the Guardians were a family.

The start showed the audience that Volume 2 was going to be just like volume 1. Rocket is making fun of Drax, a giant beast shows up, music starts blasting and Groot dances away while chasing after small little insects and rodents.

The movie then sets up a comparison between the two father figures. Ego saves the Guardians from destruction by a group called the Sovereign. He then announces himself to the surprise of Quill. On the other hand, Yondu is rejected by his group the Ravagers because he was smuggling kids for Ego. That in fact, was how he found Quill. Hence, one (Ego) is perceived as a hero, and the other (Yandu) is a criminal. The story will then reveal whether these were true characterizations or not.

After that the conflict between Gamora and Nebula is laid out. Both were the daughters of Thanos, but Nebula always believed that Gamora was the favored one which made her deeply jealous. As a result, she wanted to kill her sister and then her father.

Last there’s Quill’s struggle over whether he wants to be with his father Ego or with his friends the Guardians who were like a family to him.

In the end, the movie resolves these stories on a rather heart warming note.

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.

My Favorite in the Marvel Superheroes Series

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

Well, really, who doesn't love the chivalrous and hunky Thor and if I were a teen, I would 'totally' have a Tony Stark poster and collection of school supplies with his picture. However, Guardians of the Galaxy II is just about my favorite of the series. Our family has been watching one of these movies at a time for family movie night, a couple a month, for some time. Many of them have convoluted pretentious stories and are overrun with techno battle scenes which are not my thing. Guardians II, though, had an interesting plot, even if it was a bit predictable in part; it also had some great lines and showcased value of values we'd like to see more in society. The characters were both heroes as well as fallible (my favorite combination in any story character) with unique likable characteristics. Finally, the bad ass female characters were no wallflowers, love that. All in all, a good watch and I may purchase the Guardians collection if it's presented with a good price. We will watch this again, I'm sure.

Another 5 star Marvel

Reviewed in the United States on 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!

As good as the first - worth the time!

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

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.
