This is one of the best sequels I have seen come out of a series. It doesn't feel like a bridge to the next movie. It is great as a stand alone film and keeps the viewer engaged the whole time. There is so much more of the story told here, lots of answers are given that were left hanging in the first film,and the characters become richer and more developed as the story progresses. Relationships are changing too, which is fun to see and as a "family" forms and more people are brought into the fold, this is bound to happen. Plus, Baby Groot completely steals the show. Could he be any cuter, seriously?!
The movie is high action although I feel it was more violent than the first. The death count was certainly higher. I also felt this movie has a lot more humor and over all joy than the first movie. The jokes are a bit cruder and there are sexual innuendo, penis jokes, and general 'potty humor'. Crass language was kept to a minimum, but there is a modicum of it sprinkled throughout the movie.
Holding true to the first movie, the soundtrack to GotG Vol 2 is stellar and I think anyone who was alive in the 80's in the US will appreciate that. My British husband wasn't as keen on the music, but he doesn't have the same nostalgia I do.
I highly recommend this film if you love Guardians. I don't think you will be disappointed in the slightest!
