Better than first movie? Maybe. Better than anything else currently playing? Absolutely...

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2017)

Look, over the last week or so I've read a lot of nonsense about how GOTG2 treads the same water as the first movie, that it's lazy film making, that the jokes are wearing thin...all of it utter crap! The first movie was a breath of fresh air in the same way that Deadpool was. Without the violence and the profanities, sure, but something new all the same. This is what can be done with what is starting to become a slightly tired formula. A new template, if you will...
Well, guess what? The second GOTG movie is more of the same...only bigger, louder, more colourful and maybe even more fun. That's a pretty crucial word just there, fun. I'm pretty sure I sat through the entire movie with a big, dumb smile on my face. If I didn't, then I should have. If you loved the first movie, you'll love this one even more. If you didn't see the first movie, you should do something about that post haste and then get along and have some fun with Volume 2.
