Better than the first movie

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2017)

Rarely do they make a sequel better than the original but I suggest this was one.
I enjoyed the first GoG movie, the characters and humour; this continued into this rendition but the jokes were funnier.
I've probably never seen more action in any film than this one, and while I am not an "action-freak" craving turmoil and huge explosions for the sake of it, I was impressed by the amount of work each scene contained.
Marvel went overboard to display their surprise flagship super- heroes with the very best CGi and visual effects modern film-making can provide. How they made Kurt Russell look young again was a feat in itself!!
And in the midst of the action and non-stop entertainment there were comical moments like when Rocket was trying to explain which button NOT to press to Baby Groot, voice by Vin Diesel which is hard to believe, with Groot always trying to press the wrong button - was so funny!
For me, Marvel hadn't made a great super-hero movie until this one. Yes, the purists such as people like myself frown upon comic book heroes swearing, but these are modern day characters and it was not overly excessive.
Some of the predictable swarms of hopeless enemies cost this movie a star, but all in all it was a really enjoyable film and absolutely jam packed with fun.
