Its Star Wars meets Hellboy by way of Serenity. Very entertaining stuff. I liked Peter and Drax and Groot the most. Rocket was ok but a bit too yappy in that annoying manner and wasn't the scene stealer everyone was talking about. Villain is underwhelming as in almost all Marvel movies.

Saw reviews that this is not as good as the 1st one , so I think will skip this bcs the 1st one was crap to me. lol defeated the evil boss by distracting with breakdancing??? If DC did that in their movie they would have gotten slaughtered.

So you missed the point of the whole movie then.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Like reviews have said, not as good as the first. What was once considered fresh is now expected, and the sequel doesn't quite rise above it. But it's still pretty darn good, and hugely entertaining in most parts. Part of the problem it has is due to the lack of focus and visible plot for the first half of the movie, but I would contend that even when the story finally unfolds, it's not terribly exciting stuff. I'm not sure if I'm alone in this, but Kurt Russell wasn't very good in this - in fact I'd say he's not in the same league as the rest of the cast, which is pitch perfect.

A lot of the humour works though, and there is some comedy gold here. I also think they did a fine job with Baby Groot. They could have easily made him the cute comic relief and ran away with it but thankfully they did not overplay it at all. Part of the charm of the characters is that they're all quite different and everyone has their own favourite. Drax was mine. Even Gamora, who on her own would have been drab, works really well as a counterweight to all the other colourful characters.
