Funny and equal to or better than the first

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2017)

Surprised at some of the reviews stating this was not as good as the first. I saw and loved the first when it was first released, and then caught (the original) on Sky Movies just a few days before seeing GOTG2, so came into the 2nd one with very fresh memories.
MINOR SPOILER...
The humour in the 2nd instalment was superb from the get go and didn't really let up, making it all the more enjoyable. I also thought the visuals were outstanding and certain scenes reminded me of What Dreams Become.
One observation that applies to other movies I have seen in public recently: Myself and those I went with are in our 50s and laughed out loud throughout, whilst NOT ONE person younger than about 30 even sniggered. I do worry that millennials have been so brainwashed by contemporary humourless culture and PC attitudes that they just don't get it. The script was tack sharp and it pains me that people even in their 30s are either too stupid or too I don't know what to get it.
Very worrying for the future of humanity if you ask me! Very dystopian and ironically, the opposite of the world features in GOTG.
Anyway, 2 was a character movie and sets us up nicely for the next one.
Cannot wait for Mixtape 3!
