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

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.

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!
