Both 'Guardians of the Galaxy' films are far and above anything else he's done and his best overall direction are in them as well. James Gunn directs with style and a sure hand, always seeming as if he knew what tone he was going for and who he was aiming at. The action is beautifully edited, choreographed with lots of entertainment value and thrills and is at best exhilarating, there's plenty of it without feeling too much. The soundtrack and score is rousing and touchingly nostalgic, really making the toes tap. Costumes and make-up are also of very good quality. 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2', reiterating what was said in my review for the first film due to having the same strengths, boasts spectacular special effects, gorgeously psychedelic colours, slick-yet-with-enough-visual-depth cinematography (nothing cartoonish or plastic here) and very colourful and atmospheric sets that more than effectively makes one think they are immersed in this galaxy.
That's pretty much it for the complaints however.
Is 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2' well made and entertaining? Absolutely.Ī couple of the gags fall a little flat and the film does drag in the middle act. Like as was said with 'Guardians of the Galaxy', is it as amazing as the IMDb rating (which is something that really shouldn't be taken to heart and is often blown out of proportion here on IMDb) and ecstatic reviews suggest? To me, not quite. The good news is that 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2' does not disgrace the first 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and is actually just as good. Having really enjoyed the first 'Guardians of the Galaxy', which was not quite as good as the hype but still very good, expectations were high for the sequel while being a little worried as to whether it would be as good or disgrace the first.

The first portion, I'd give an 8 or 9.I really liked it. As for me, I didn't wanna turn off my brain and thought the second half of the film was a HUGE disappointment.
It's as if they were telling you to turn off your brain and enjoy the rest of the film on a very primal level. Then, the plot and what happened after that didn't make a lot of sense (such as multiple baddies suddenly becoming good guys/gals) and instead the picture solely focused on insanely big and explosive special effects. As for the rest, it was just fine until about midway through the movie. He was, to me, the best thing about the film. In particular, I found myself laughing very often at Drax (Dave Bautista), as he was hilarious and often said the most horrible and inappropriate things. The fist portion of "Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2" impressed me. Needless to say, it's a hit and my review sure ain't gonna change that! But, I did just see the film and with my compulsive need to be IMDb's most prolific reviewer, I decided to contribute yet another review.
