As a sequel to one of the best movies ever to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2。was always going to be up against sky-high expectations.。
Now, after years of waiting, the film's almost here and the reviews are in. So does。 Vol. 2。manage to reach the heights of its predecessor? Or does it fall flat in the process?
SEE ALSO:'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' is Marvel at its most emotional。You've already read our take on the movie, but now let's take a look at what some others are saying.。
Variety。's Owen Gleiberman wasn't as impressed by director James Gunn's tricks the second time around:。

Shot for shot, line and line, it’s an extravagant and witty follow-up, made with the same friendly virtuosic dazzle. Yet this time you can sense just how hard the series’ wizard of a director, James Gunn (now taking off from a script he wrote solo), is working to entertain you.。

's Peter Bradshaw was unmoved by the emotion: 。Ego himself introduces some apparently huge Freudian issues to the film, which on paper would seem to take the film’s emotional impact up a notch or two. But they are dealt with insouciantly, even flippantly – far more so than in something like Star Wars or Superman. That’s in keeping of course, with the distinctive comic flavour of this franchise, but the revelations about Quill’s background just zing and ping around with the same pinball-velocity as everything else in the film.。 Collider 。Collider。 's Haleigh Foutch was more into it:。The film’s greatest strength is the respect and genuine interest it has for its ensemble. Gunn loves his pack of weirdos, and for the sequel, he dives a bit deeper into the mess of emotional and psychological scars define them, carefully making space for each character to grow over the course of a very crowded film. 。
