Critics Consensus

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2's action-packed plot, dazzling visuals, and irreverent humor add up to a sequel that's almost as fun -- if not quite as thrillingly fresh -- as its predecessor.

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.

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.

James Gunn follows up with this sequel and set up the future of the GOTG nicely for a part 3. Lots of laughs, action, and a lot of Baby Groot!

An amazing sequel to easily one of Marvel's best. It keeps evolving the story and worldbuilding as everyone gets a great character arc, with Starlord, Yondu, and Gamora's arcs being particularly heartbreaking and impactful. Kurt Russel kills it as Peter Quill's dad and the revelations with his true intentions and just how casually he thinks of it all was genuinely shocking. The art direction is gorgeous and easily one of the most colorful movies of the entire MCU. The movie is just as hilarious as the first one and does a solid job balancing this out with some genuinely bittersweet drama. The 70s/80s retro soundtrack hits it out of the park once more and synch in perfectly with each scene they're implemented into. The best of which including the energetic "Mr. Blue Sky" opener, the large-scale epic one-sided slaughter with Yondu's arrow to the beat of "Come a Little Bit Closer", and the tear-jerking ending with the firework finale as Peter comes to grips of appreciating his flawed-but-loyal foster father Yondu while accepting that his biological father was a monster and isn't worth idealizing or even stewing over anymore. All while Gamora and Nebula grow closer and Rocket accepts his crew as the family he always wanted. It's a beautiful ending to an emotional rollercoaster with great action, laughs, and tears along the way.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
