Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) by Mattyice — 07 Jun 2017

While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is surely entertaining, it does not compare to the uniqueness and comedy of the first film. The leads stay true and do a great job, the writing and chemistry is solid, CG is great too.

However, the plot is too dragged out with some weird tonal shifts, the music and comedy isn't as well integrated as the first film, and although it attempts to take risks, the film, like so many MCU movies, fails to have many stakes (I won't give the big risk away though).

Overall, the film is okay, but wanes in comparison to the first as it hits the notes it needs to, but doesn't do much more than that.
