The Guardians 'russell' up a good one!

Rating: 6/10 (29 April 2017)

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 sees our heroes from the first film reunite with a couple of new characters but with new villains, new discoveries and an awesome new soundtrack!
The acting is good but the tone of the film is very light hearted and doesn't take itself too seriously so it is hard for acting to shine out. Having said this, I thought Kurt Russell's performance was very captivating.
As for the visual effects, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 doesn't disappoint. The film has truly spectacular visuals. The movie also has excellent cinematography which highlights these effects superbly.
Overall, the sequel is not as good as the original. However, this is to be expected as the first is hard to beat. I personally think that the humour was slightly over done. At times it wasn't necessary, but I did laugh a lot and was very thoroughly entertained. I would give the movie 7 out of 10 and I am looking forward to seeing where the franchise goes next.
