A fun watch with great performances!

The Guardians really deliver in this second instalment with a story that is more self-contained than the first.
Drax, Rocket, Gamora, Nebula and Quill really develop as characters in this, there seems to be more to them. Drax for example has now become more comedic and a really nice relationship blossoms when he meets newcomer Mantis.
Gamora and Nebula's sister-ship is explored wonderfully as well, Rocket learns how to be more human and Quill learns the truth about his parentage.
Plus all of the stuff with Baby Groot is just adorable!
On the whole, a real-feel good movie with the occasional funny gags, there are some weak elements like the whole "Taserface" joke but it's still good.
It's such a shame that Guardians 3 may not happen after the firing of James Gunn.
