A GREAT SEQUEL & JUST AS GOOD AS THE FIRST

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2020)

Vol.2 was spectacular fun & just as good as the first if not better!!!
This sequel was a blast of intergalactic fun but this time with a whole lot more Heart. Our Guardian's of the Galaxy this time end up on a new strange planet when they are invited there by a God-like man named EGO, who apparently is Peter Quills long lost father but things don't seem right & there's a big sinister plot & our heroes have to once again save the Galaxy. That's the basic storyline here & it's well done with some new faces on screen like two absolute legends of Cinema, Kurt Russell as Ego & Sylvester Stallone as an old ravenger who used to work with Yondu, named Stakar Ogord. Great having these two legends enter this MCU as i grew up watching & loving these guys & they starred together as partners in the Classic Action Cop Thriller "Tango & Cash" from way back in the 80's. Also there's much more emotional depth to all the characters this time & makes us care for this time & like them even more. Yondu (Played greatly again by Michael Rooker) has so much more depth to his rugged, angry & deadly Ravenger here that we get to understand him & find out what he's done for Peter Quill. Baby Groot is absolutely adorable & so cute that he steals the show & Peter Quill aka: Starlord gets much more emotional depth with his past catching up to him with a few surprises. All the characters get lots of time to shine here & even Rocket opens up more too!!!
The special effects are as always Amazing & the comedy is just right with plenty of fun comments & banter between our group & that's why is such a fun movie as we love to hang out with this group of misfits & the love of this team is on full display by the end.
A blast of thrilling adventure, stunning set pieces, witty humour, beautiful colourful cinematography, good music & lots of Action make this one great big budget blockbuster popcorn extravaganza. Fun for the whole family, we all loved it.
