Following the Original was a Tough Job

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2017)

In my mind the original Guardians of the Galaxy is a perfect movie. It hits all of the right notes from the opening credit and is a complete joy to watch from beginning to end.
Vol. 2 is a worthy successor to the original. Let's get that out of the way right now. What it is not is a movie that will challenge the original in any capacity when it comes to the joy the original is to watch.
The feeling you get watching the opening sequence is basically the feeling I got throughout the movie. That feeling is basically the feeling that what you are watching is entertaining but seems as though it is something you have seen done better before.
It really was an impossible task to ask this movie give you that all out joy the original did but the comparisons are inevitable.
I don't want to give the impression that I did not enjoy Vol. 2. I did enjoy it. It gives you most of the answers you were looking for at the end of the original. The special effects are taken to the next level and are nearly flawless. The music choices are along the same lines with the original and give you that tap your foot, sing along feeling of the original as well.
I will see it again and post an update to this review. Be sure to sit through the credits as always.
