Kambole Campbell

One Room With A View

While it may not have the novelty of its predecessor, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is hilarious, brimming with pathos, and real pretty to boot.

Rated: 4/5

K. Austin Collins

The Ringer

Even as Vol. 2 proves to be overlong and needlessly complex, with a last act that doesn't merely drive the point home so much as hold you hostage to it, the movie proves endearing.

David Sims

The Atlantic

In Marvel lingo, Guardians 2 feels like a great six-issue arc, the kind of storytelling that used to be the backbone of superhero comics.

For the Win (USA Today)

The second installment richened the characters while also giving Michael Rooker’s Yondu one of its best character arcs.

The humor and character relationships compensated for what I perceived as a slightly weaker story compared to the first film.

Lots of laughs, action, and a lot of Baby Groot! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/22/22 Full Review Rhiannon D Great film! Absolutely loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Cool, fun adventure, brings out some emotions. Cinematography is good, cgi and whatnot and was a treat to enjoy. Groot is annoying i must say however i feel it degraded the film, "I am groot" one time is enough but i can see how it is appealing to children. It was funny the first time.
