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 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review 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. Aug 10, 2017 Full Review David Sims 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. Jun 16, 2017 Full Review Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews While the first Guardians had me leave the theater laughing, this one had me leave the theater misty-eyed. Rated: 5/5 Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is an brazen explosion of Crayola-sheened special effects wonder mixed with invisible grays of magnetic character growth and depth. Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) The second installment richened the characters while also giving Michael Rooker’s Yondu one of its best character arcs.
