Good but not great

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2017)

It is a really entertaining movie, but it just can not live up to its predecessor. Missing the "wow" factor the producers decided to give too much from the essentials of vol. 1. Drax repeats the same jokes, but now twice, repeatedly. Dancing in action, now by baby Groot, but for several minutes. Racoon jokes become also a bit flat after a while. Family issues are also too much. It is discussed by several times by Yondu, Star Lord, Ego, Drax, Gamora and Nebula...etc. Too long, too much sometimes (Yondu funeral), and it resulted in not being as fresh and vivid as vol. 1 is.
