Gunn delivers a solid sequel

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2017)

Thanks to the skills of writer-director James Gunn, this sequel manages to do what most sequels don't: it succeeds in keeping all the good parts of the first film while adding some new ones, always using the self-irony and humour in the right way to protect itself from falling into the trap of the now over-used and worn-out traditional Marvel movie formula. Together with "Logan" (2017), the "Guardians..." movies are now, more or less, all that helps me from losing my faith entirely in the once-great Marvel Cinematic Universe.
