Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2017)

With the exception of 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier', the Marvel Cinematic Universe has notoriously struggled with their sequels. Be it Iron Man, Thor, or even The Avengers – none of the follow-ups managed to capture their predecessor's magic. It's not too surprising then that writer & director James Gunn tries to regurgitate the lightning–in-a- bottle success of the first film, by replicating some of the comedic elements that worked for it. Which isn't entirely a bad thing – as this is arguably the most vibrant and whimsical comic book film we've seen in a while, and that's precisely what it should be.
