Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Review

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is at it again! Its fifteenth film (Yes, you read right, 15. This thing is well on its way to having as many films as the James Bond franchise) is out in theaters, the second adventure of their cosmic protectors: The Guardians of the Galaxy! Vol. 2 is here!


It's been a couple of months since the events of the first film, in which the Guardians of the Galaxy saved the universe from Ronan and his Infinity Stone. Since then, the Guardians have become heroes for hire, helping anyone out who could pay them.

They were hired by the Sovereign to protect a set of batteries, but things go wrong. As a result, the Sovereign wants the Guardians' heads, and they end up in a new adventure where they meet Star-Lord's father: Ego the Living Planet.

I absolutely love the first Guardians film, and I was so excited to see this one. It was quite simply...awesome. This film was a worthy follow-up to the original. It had a ton of action, funny jokes, and moments that brought tears to the eyes. I have no real complaints about it, although I do want to warn that some of the jokes here in this one are a bit on the raunchier side than in the original film. Just a warning, no spoilers.

Also, there was a post-credit scene that made me smile, and will make you smile as well if you're a fan of the original 1960s-1990s-era Guardians team.

If you like adventure with classic tunes that'll make you laugh and bring tears to your eyes, this film is the thing for you. If you liked the original, you'll love the sequel.
