80% - Right below V1, which isn't bad at all!

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2019)

V2 is a good movie, with a good villain and even better characters! Mantis and baby Groot are great, and the original cast remains just as good as the original. Peter's father is the main villain of the movie, and although this story has been played through before, the way it is done is unique. Peter's dad is a celestial that has the power to change the universe. He goes around the universe, having children with different species in order to have a celestial child. Peter is this celestial child he has been seeking, and Peter is glad to be with his father. Peter would've stayed if Ego hadn't revealed he'd placed the tumor in Peter's mom. They have to blow up an entire planet to kill Ego, which creates a wacky twist in the whole "my father is my worst enemy!" storyline. This movie is quite good, and Yondu's death was legitimately sad in my opinion, and I found myself feeling empathy for almost everyone in this movie. The jokes work almost everytime, the romance is getting stronger between Peter and Gamora. The movie is overall a decent watch, although I prefer V1 a bit more. Watch it!
