Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 smuggles more goofball fun into the MCU.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 may not boast the same polished storytelling, but this Groot scootin' interplanetary disco once again kicks ass on James Gunn's own zany terms.

Marvel's playful space sequel like an explosion in a nursery school craft cupboard.

Chris Pratt and company keep the banter and breeziness coming, but this sequel comes off more as fun filler than a movie unto itself.

3006d ago

The return of Star Lord and company lacks the surprise of Vol 1. – but it's still an irreverent, cosmically fun Marvel-movie highlight.

The film at one point offers the finest sustained act of emotional storytelling to grace a Marvel production.

James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” opens with a franchise-defining credit sequence.

Nothing dooms a comic-book movie quicker than when it takes itself too seriously. Ponderous existential handwringing is a drag.

3006d ago

With its tie-dye colors, classic rock and wisecracking space gunslingers, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is a shaggy throwback to ’80s action camp — and, like the original, a nice reprieve from superserious superhero fare. If it’s overstuffed in the way of most sequels, well, at least it’s stuffed with good cheer.

What do you do for an encore to the best comic-book movie in years? James Gunn's sequel is a witty and extravagant followup, but it works harder for less fun.

3006d ago

The vistas are lush, the soundtrack is pleasant, and some wisecracks worthwhile, but it gets turned to 11 in a bath of sensory overload by the time it’s all over; something more inane than it is weird. It’s the blockbuster equivalent of a five-year-old loudly telling you the same knock-knock joke while spitting Skittles at you… but to the sound of a pretty good Spotify playlist.

Writer-director James Gunn is back for more, but can’t quite get there.

3006d ago

For the sequel, subtitled "Vol. 2" because sequels are sold by volume, not weight, Gunn has returned as director and writer.

3006d ago

It’s tough being a hitmaker who isn’t weighed down by corporate expectations, but for a while, Mr. Gunn does a pretty good job of keeping the whole thing reasonably fizzy, starting with an opener that winks at the audience with big bangs and slapstick.

3006d ago

James Gunn's sequel to the 2014 Marvel hit brings the gang — including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and the voices of Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper — back together for more.

3006d ago

Chris Pratt returns as Peter Quill in James Gunn’s sequel.

3006d ago

The Marvel superhero gang are back together – including Vin Diesel’s Baby Groot alongside Chris Pratt’s Quill – and while there’s plenty of comedy, it doesn’t really go anywhere.

3006d ago

Star-Lord sets out to find himself in the followup to Disney and Marvel’s sci-fi comedy.

3006d ago

After The Fate of the Furious premiered, talk of that franchise’s ever slicker, more over-the-top future turned to the promise (and hope) of F&F jumping the shark right into space.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Is not as awesome as It thinks it is.
