Meets the standards of a Marvel Cinematic Universe film, however...

Rating: 7/10 (14 May 2017)

Look, here me out on this one. I love the MCU, I love James Gunn, and most of all I am a huge admirer of Guardians of the Galaxy. However, I have real difficulty discussing the pros and cons of this film. I cant say it was either really good or just average. Taking the plot into account = quite basic, not the strongest. Character development was quite strong, and there were some fresh faces that were warmly welcomed. I wont say it was BETTER than Vol. 1, but I wont say it was as good either. I honestly don't know what to include, other then it was a likable entry, maybe just not one of the best, but still, good.
