Better than the first in multiple ways

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2017)

I'm hovering between 9 and 10 on this one, but in the end, I can't give it anything less than 10! The only thing I didn't like about this movie was that there was a bit too much focus on Groot at some points - other than that? 10/10. The feeling I had after the movie ended? I wanted to watch it again!
The visuals are great. The actors are great. The jokes and puns are on point! They keep true to Guardians of the Galaxy feel and the plot is amazing and different! Not that I was surprised, but this movie was solid!
People in here are giving bad reviews because "it's not like the comics". Not many of the Marvel movies are remotely close to the comics. They each have some elements from the comics, but as every Marvel fan should know: there are multiple story lines for each superhero.
I'd even go as far as to say that this movie is my all time favorite Marvel movie! Go watch it! Now!
