Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol.2
This is the much anticipated sequel to the smash hit launch film released in 2014, featuring the same band of misfit (superhero) buffoons that most fans (even Marvel fans) didn't even know about. It was obvious that the cast were still clearly very comfortable in their characters.
Whereas the first film was all about building a team of trouble-shooters, this was more about friendship and family, and we see Quill finally meeting his father, 'Ego' who turned out to be the villain in the plot, although not a really great memorable villain and this is where the plot lost it way a little for me in act 3.
My wife loved the original film and she's far from a superhero fan, I loved the original film, but this 2nd installment falls a little short, although it was still highly entertaining and funny with fantastic 3D effects that were full of depth.
You'll enjoy the excellent 80's soundtrack as well that runs from Quill's 'Awesome Mix 2' cassette tape. You don't need to have seen the first film to enjoy this either.
Stay in your seat for the 5 sequences that run during and after the end credits.
9/10.
