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

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.

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. He you have the comedy the action and the characters.

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.

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

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.

A new classic

A new classic. I usually do some nit-picking in my reviews but GOTG2 just has it all. Shows it off beautifully. Breathes new life into so many old and obscure songs too. Worth watching, again and again.

A Lot Of Fun

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2019

When you mix sci-fi with a dash of comedy it doesn't always work. In this case, it does. this is why I think that the Marvel franchise is so sought after by "A" & "B" level stars. They want to be part of this genre before the large budgets disappear.Chris Pratt is right on target with his comedy & serious moments. So are the rest of the crew, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, "Rocket" voiced by Bradley Cooper and Groot voiced by Vin D. and Michael Rooker. also in the mix is S. Stallone, & Kurt Russell among other characters too numerous to mention but they do a very good job in their roles. This installment continues from the first and you should see that one before this. No more to say. Enjoy

Good Reproduction of the Theater Experience

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

Volume 2 of Guardians of the Galaxy continues to stretch the limits of futuristic science fiction and special effects. Even the violence has a comic book character about it. This set of disks offers both the 3D and 2D versions plus outtakes. humor and explanations of how the special effects were accomplished. For about the same amount as my wife and I paid to see this movie in the theater, we can own this movie for repeated enjoyment. Most movies I want to see ONLY ONCE, but this is one of several that we can enjoy repeatedly. I'm satisfied with this purchase.

Even better than the first movie!

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020

I love, love this movie! I love all the characters and how they work together to save the Galaxy (again!) And, of course, Baby Groot steals the show. I watch it over and over, mostly to see the Baby Groot parts. However, as much as I love the characters (especially Baby Groot) there was a lot of special effects, which I know appeals to the younger audience. (I'm 68 and I like the characters and the humor better than the SFX.) Anyway, if you liked the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, you will love this one!
