Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 : A Good but ultimately bloated sequel

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2020)

They're back, after a groundbreaking first film loved by critics, audiences and a box office success does this sequel deliver.
Kind of.
All the characters from the original are here plus many new ones, too many new ones actually. That's one of the problems with GOTG 2 it feels bloated and in need of editing especially in the final 3rd. Had to watch the film twice at home on Blu Ray after seeing it in the cinema to fully absorb everything that happened both from a story perspective and the action sequences.
There's plenty to like here though the film looks amazing, the GOTG team have not been changed and the positive momentum from the first film has not been derailed, in fact if the 3rd movie is an improvement then this GOTG 2's stock may rise.
