Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 delivers up a solid 2 hours and 16 minutes of entertainment. If you’re a fan of the film, this is a must see. Here’s our spoiler free review.

Without spoiling anything, the center premise of this movie revolves around Starlord finding out who his dad is and meeting him. Around that central plot is subplot with Yondu and the Ravagers, a side mission for the Sovereign (involving the octopus creature in the movie trailer), and then smaller character plots with each of the Guardians. There’s tons of attention given to the characters which leads to lots of great moments, be they laughs or more serious scenes of reflection and discovery. If you love baby Groot, then you’ll be glad to know that there’s lots of him. In fact each of the members of the cast gets an equal amount of attention. It makes for a very entertaining story.

In comparing the sequel to the original, however, I’d have to say the first one was better. I thought the laughs, the adventure and the characters were tremendously great in the first film. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 still hits all those marks, but not quite as high. That said, it’s still a solid movie that’s extremely entertaining. I give it a four out of five metal bikinis.
